MLB 14 The Show Available As Day 1 Digital Download Available to Download Now (PS4)

04:28 PM - May 5, 2014 by Steve_OS

MLB 14 The Show will be available as a Day 1 digital download at 12:01 AM EST on May 6th. (SEE UPDATES BELOW) Similar to how users were able to download the PS3 version, expect it to be available at that time, give or take a few minutes.

It doesn't appear as though you will be able to pre-download, as some hoped with the latest PlayStation update. VG24/7 noted Watch Dogs will be the first game available for pre-download, releasing on May 27th.

UPDATE: As of 10:30 AM EST, the game is still not available to download.

UPDATE #2: Due to unforeseen technical issues, MLB 14 The Show for PS4 is not currently available for download via the PlayStation Store. All parties are working as quickly as possible to remedy the issue. We�ll update this post as soon as a resolution is reached. Thank you for your continued patience.

UPDATE #3: Based off of the many responses, the download should be available for everyone now.

people who act like we shouldn't be somewhat upset are ignorant. Playstation is a billion dollar industry. This is what they do as a job making more then i'm sure 90% of us do. Yes, i understand things happen. But if you advertise something months in advance. And you a company like Sony where we pour countless dollars into. Things like this should happen. They dropped the ball. No excuses.

Im not exactly sure what you want them to say. They have said they are working on it. Do you want them to say that every hour? Its not like they have just forgotten about it.

Thats not the point. People spent there money pre ordering. They were given a specific time they could start downloading the game. 12:01am est. It is now 9:55am est and the download is still not available. There has been no official comment by Sony on the matter. What makes it worse is this is a Sony game so the mess up is all on them. People would feel better if Sony at least said "hey we screwed up on our end, we're working to fix it, game should be available at x time."

Sheesh. Same thing just happened to me.

The fact that they said a refund would take 4-8 weeks, and gave me a "case number" as opposed to a transaction confirmation number, seemed sketchy. I said screw it, I'll wait and hope it is up relatively early.

It's not so much that the game won't be available today as it is that its 47GB so not only am I still waiting for it to be available then I still have to download it after that to be able to play. A lot of people wanted it to download overnight so they could play when they woke up or got out of work.

Simply stating that they are aware is not enough of a custom service remedy. They have made the error so it is their responsibility to make the customers feel comfortable and understanding of the error that they've made. Obviously people are not pleased so there is more to be done.

Yep. I'm not buying a hard copy without a guarantee of a refund. I guess I'll just find something else to occupy my time for the next 4 or 5 hours.

I really don't understand the people in this thread who are blaming the consumer for being upset about a company under-delivering on a promise made at point of purchase. That's pretty standard and acceptable/expected behavior for the consumer. Is this just fanboy mentality?

No, what they promised is 12:01 am, it is now ten hours later. That is unacceptable, plain and simple. It is ridiculous that we still have people making excuses for them.

Really thinking about buying the physical copy on my way to work now, and getting a refund on the digital copy. They damn well better give it to me, if that is what I decide to do.

On the phone with support now. They are giving me a refund.

My hard copy is done downloading. Now it's time to get my show on!!

Or you can call them and ask for a refund. Do they really expect me to happy paying for PS+ plus, when they can't get simply network things like getting a game up right?

yikes, didn't realize it was 47G, so this will definitely be 12:01 am

...5/7/14

I understand your chat must be flooded with people looking for answers, but no way should you wait half an hour just to see this.

I know it's been brought up earlier in this thread and we're now in the why we should/shouldn't be mad phase, but I mean come on. I was only looking to make alternate plans to obtain the game (picking up a physical copy if I could get a partial refund), but by the looks of things most of us will just have to stick it out.

This is terrible and I hope it never happens in the future.

You guys need to be careful. They are telling you, you will receive a refund. I've seen numerous cases as well as one in this thread where Sony told gamers they would refund them only for the gamer to receive a email saying all sales are final. I've seen it here and on IGN. So just saying dont get stuck with both versions of the game. You guys do deserve refunds though, and if Sony doesn't follow through do charge backs with your bank or credit card company.

As I've said before, if companies truly want consumers to go digital, they need to provide more incentive than downloading a game on midnight of the release day which they still apparently can't even get right. Need to make it available a week before the street date.

Don't come into this thread and post crap like that. People have a right to be pissed.
