If my memory is right I am pretty sure last years PS4 was about 24 Gig and it was split in 2 parts the PS3 was about 16 gig

Just a thought what really is the point of pre ordering now? as apposed to waiting to just say March 28 when we can pre load it, always wondered why people fell temped to pre order a digital download and the point of spending the money 6 weeks ealier

I still don't get the perks of digital games. It is nice you get it right away and you can pre-download. Maybe it is just not for me.

1. You can't trade it in later if you beat it or the next version comes out with sports games (no resale value).
2. I am pretty sure they take up more space on the hard drive.
3. I personally like the old school aspect of a physical copy of a game, and picking a game up at a game store.

What do you guys like about the digital copies besides the accessibility?

well living in Australia the digital copy is the only choice I have of getting it day 1 release as it doesn't get released here as a hard copy, if I want to order form America would take a good 10 days (and more money to post)

MLB is the ONLY game I order digital sports games are good to order digital because like you mentioned become out of date the next year you can erase them from the HDD and just put the new version up

I NEVER trade games, I just find EB Gamestop Etc are really ripping people off doing it and people fall for it, it can be a few years later and I will feel like playing a PS ONE game which I still own some of them that are about 20 years old and still work, so I am also saving money there keeping things instead of SOny released Final Fantasy VII for every dam generation and people paying for it every time

I do prefer a hard copy it's great for the OCD mind, however it does take up more storage in your house and have to find more room for it.

When I get done with a game I can usually just get 10 dollars for trading it in so it's not really that big of a deal for me. Going digital or physical they will both take up the same amount of space on your HDD. I have started just buying digital since I can pre-load the entire game and play right at midnight.

With sports games you don't get much back. But it is nice to be able to throw that 10 bucks towards the new version. For Far Cry 4 I beat it and got my first platinum trophy with it and traded it back for 44 bucks and put it towards the Show. Haha.

Hard drive space is incorrect on this generation of consoles. Physical, digital - it's all the same now.

I don't trade in games, so its resale value means absolutely, 100% nothing to me. Combine that with the convenience of digital and my choice is easy.

Good point about people getting the game from other countries around the world. I didn't really think of that.

You see this is where you get suckered in.. they sold it to you for $60 right? games are $60 there? so you lost $16 out of it.. then they would re sell your game for about $50 2nd hand to another customer so they pretty much make a $66 profit, which is more then selling another game.

meanwhile a few years later you will kick yourself that you traded the game because you feel like playing it again, and then might pick up another 2nd hand copy for about $20.

This is why I never trade games, I can understand getting rid of sports games though, they are games that become out of date in about 8 months and lose the appeal factor.

Unless you are like me and never play a game more than once. Same with movies. I already know what happens so unless its one of the best games ever there is no point in playing it again.

Re: MLB 15 The Show Available Now on PlayStation Store - Pre-Load & Play At Midnight

I'm really indecisive on whether I should pick up a physical copy or digitally download it. I'm a die hard Giants fan and don't really want anything Dodgers (especially Puig) in my room, so I'm leaning more towards digital download. Just afraid of having problems where you can't play the game if PSN is all down and can't read my credentials. Anyone knows if that has been fixed? Nothing worse then getting off work and looking forward to playing a game only to learn you can't because the service is messed up

As long as your PS4 is set as your primary console, you'll have no problems playing games with or without connecting to PSN.

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

Nope was up a few days before release and a few days after I had pre ordered the us version.think it was available a few days after the US release when the store updated on thursday(game released tues). Worked out about the same price what with the aus $ back then.

With no physical/retail release of the game in Aus hope they can keep it at a good price again.Also hope we can get the 10th anny version and that pre order ds4 skin.

edit:yep EB are a rip off but most games are easy to find around $60-70 at other retailers. I think if sony didn't need to play nice with retailers we would see digital games around $70 instead of The $100 most are now.

Most story based games I can understand but movies? Do you also not eat food you've already tried before?

Come on, man! Haha

Soooooo, for those; like me, who pre ordered today.... any confirmation on when we're supposed to get codes or whatever for the skins and themes?

The description said release day code for skin it and themes when I pre-ordered
