Yepp they stole money from you. They dont plan to give you the game at all. Those bastards.

I'm really not in the business of giving loans to multi-billion dollar corporations. Sorry.

Relax guys we will have our game and if Sony was smart a nice 20 dollar I'm sorry credit on top of if lol

I hope you're right. The whole issue just seems odd to me though. Updating the PSN store seems like an awfully simple fix for an issue they're currently trying to resolve.

I'd venture to guess that the issue is related to the 1.70 update that allows pre-dowloading. The Show is one of the few games that released after the update but before the pre-download feature was in effect (it will start with the Watchdog release). Seems like is could be a legacy issue. It's all speculation though

Did any other games release for digital download yesterday, and if so, any problems downloading?

No other game was day 1 digital today. Theres atleast one other game that can be downloaded when the store updates.

i know this isn't much of a contribution, but i gotta say, i respect you man. you've had every chance to go on a tirade, even with people poknig you trying to push you over the edge, but you've expressed your opinion awesomely throughout. for both our sakes i hope the DL is available when we get hoem from work

Thanks man. Nothing here has really gotten under my skin. I guess I haven't really considered the worst jabs as really referring to me because I'm not totally up in arms about this or anything. Just figured the people poking fun at those who are weren't talking about me.

Can someone please clarify for me why you would preorder a digital game? I literally can't think of one reason besides some sort of preorder bonus (which I don't think existed here) or funding development (not applicable here), but I'm sure there must be one.

Great post. I like many others here pre-ordered the digital version hoping that it would be available for pre-load. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and like a lot of you stayed up until midnight in hopes of downloading the game over night, but alas the game was not available on the store for those who pre-ordered it.

It sucks that the game isn't available right now (especially to those of you who took the day off hoping to be able to play the game), but things could be a lot worse. At some point we will all be able to play this game so take solace in that. It's a first world problem we're experiencing right now and I sincerely hope that Sony's network team has learned an important lesson from this situation. We will all be able to play the game at some point so we all need to exercise some patience at this time.

Hopefully for the ones here who are trying to get refunds that they aren't dealing with too many hassles with Sony's customer service.

I'm not wanting to over exaggerate here, but it is quickly turning into the worst customer service experience of my life. I was fine with the delay, but considering I took today off of work, I wanted to play the game. That's fine, I'll just request a refund for my digital pre order and run up the street to pick it up. Except they are now telling me they can't issue the refund and will debt my account another $59.99 if my bank issues the refund.

30 minute hold to speak with an agent and another 45+ minutes to speak with a supervisor now. I wasn't pissed off in the beginning, now I am.

I said it earlier...because I was supposed to be able to get it at midnight!


Trust me, I've learned my lesson.

"Wont let them get away with this" did they do something to your family or something? Sony is just so evil man.

Dude, seriously what is up with you?

Do you work for Sony?

Do you have aspirations of becoming a mod at OS.

Your point is taken ok? We all know that you think complaining over a video game is ridiculous. We all know you have better things to do, although you are clearly not doing them, anymore than anyone else.

This isn't just about a video game anymore, I am not sure it ever was. This is about a major corporation, failing in a major way to deliver media In a way that they are trying to encourage people to use. Meanwhile, somebody today was probably on their way home for lunch, decided "hey, I will stop at this best buy and pick up the show." That dude is playing and people who gave them guaranteed purchase are not. Its a big deal.

Do you have low self esteem? I mean, do you just let people take things from you and be ok with it? I mean really. You had case at 1230a est, at this point, this is indefensible no matter how condescending you want to be. I think you are using that to deflect your own anger about this situation. LOL

Because they wanted to. Thats the true answer. Please dont start telling people how they should have spent their money.

You could have purchased it at midnight without preordering. It wasn't supposed to just be up for preorders at midnight...it was meant to be up for all.

My thought process was that if I pre-ordered it then at 12:01 it would start downloading and I'd be able to play for a little before I got up and went to work. Worst case It'd be done by the time I got home from work and I could just start up and go. If I started it RIGHT NOW it won't be ready to go until probably 7 tonight. Every minute the start time moves it inches closer to me having to go to sleep for work the next day. Now we're talking about not playing until Weds night.

well you dont have to go to the store and waste gas, you dont have to get up to change the game, no tax charge, could download it over night and play in the morning instead of having to wait till 11am. OF COURSE this being the only ****ing exception.

I appreciate your honesty, but...you make a highly irrational decision, and then whine about it when that decision doesn't work out?

One ounce of thought would have prevented the anger.
