Re: MLB 15 The Show now available digitally at the PS Store!!

The entire game should download. Preload would be pretty much useless if it didnt.

Best part about this year is when i go to install the disk i can actually play with a team i like. WE WERE RELEVANT FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE!!!!!!

What I wouldn't give to see the Cubs in Show '16's initial quick game matchup...

You're probably right - I just haven't done a preload yet so I don't really know what to expect with that. What I do expect is an hour or so wait with the disc version while everything installs to the PS4, before the entire game becomes available to you.

Re: MLB 15 The Show now available digitally at the PS Store!!

This made me think of an interesting question only Ramone might have the answer to. When the preload starts, will that initiate the entire game download or just the base needed to start up the game and play a quick game (probably with the World Series teams)? Basically what I'm asking is will the entire game be downloaded and ready to go before release day (assuming the connection is fast enough), or will we actually have to start the game on release day to enable downloading the rest of the game?

Sorry if that's too confusing. Anyone who preloaded NBA2K might be able to answer this as well - I think they did it the same way.

The games I've downloaded in the past still require the hard drive install once you start up the game. You "download" the game initially, then once midnight hits and you enter the game, you still have to wait for the install. I recently had to do it with Far Cry

I still think that's pretty dumb. If the game is going to be able to be pre downloaded, why won't it just download the ENTIRE thing??? GRRRR

The past pre-loads I have done you are able to download the entire game. Only thing is when you start downloading it won't show all of it. You'll have to go down to where the game is and hit options and then go to information. Once you get there you will see how much more you have left to download.

No download for me, mostly because the guy I got mine from last year already told me to call a week ahead...

When is the PS3 version going to be in the PS Store? Or did I miss something?

Can this be done for the Vita Show 15?

will have to do the old fake US account trick to download the game again this year here in Australia. thanks Amazon for the gift cards to get this!

Lets hope this thread doesn't end up like last year at 600 pages because it was delayed by about 15 hours LOL

Does anyone know how much HDD space the digital version will take up as opposed to a physical copy? Really the only thing holding me back from going all digital this year

We don't know what it is yet, but they will take the same amount of space.

It was available on the Aus store last year and at a pretty good price,$69 if i remember correctly. I hope it is available around that price again this year as a US $59 game works out about Aus $75 atm.

Will it also available in Europe this year?

Yeah but wasn't in the Aus store about 2 months later?? after it was already late in May to begin with! yes the Aus dollar sucks right now but still normally our games are a rip off $100 at EB Games which US pay $60 for we would still get games from the U.S with postage cheaper haha

They are identical. Disc games are installed to the HDD as are digital games. Digital downloads however might be compressed and may be a smaller download vs data on blurays, but after installation they should be identical.
