Has anyone else got an error in the middle of downloading yet? It has now happened TWICE to me. Really regretting not just buying the game in store. Really surprised the download doesn't pick up where it left off from before the error when I get the error, but I am forced to start over again.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get a refund on this and go with the physical version if I am unable to get this downloaded?

First, yes. I got an error the first time. Not sure how deep into the download I was because I turned on Sportscenter and went to bed. Woke up an hour later, checked progress and I had an error. I decided to try downloading/installing each file separately. So far, so good.

Second, per their refund policy, the PSN store doesn't do refunds. However, if you are unable to download the game, call Sony and get your money back, because you are entitled to it, as you don't get the benefit of the product if it doesn't download. They wouldn't want a lawsuit, so if they were smart about it, they would comply and give you your money back.

Yep. Same for me. I had been downloading for two hours with no problem. I went to sleep for 3 hours. I woke up to check how it was going and I see a message that 'connection timed out'. Now I'm back to a 568 minute wait again.

For whatever it's worth, I seemed to have been able to download in background, exit Playstation store and go to NETWORK -> My Downloads and resume the old download again.. So you won't have to start from square one, I think anyway, not 100 per cents sure this is working now.

Yep, you should be able to resume your download. I don't think downloads just cancel outright, they just get cut off, but the data you already download is still there.

Could be wrong, but I thought was how it worked.

I don't know what Jimmy Johns Internet you guys have. I am about 55 minutes in and I'm only 12% on the main game. Good thing I have to go to work.

Well, I've just decided to stay up the rest of the night. I can't sleep I got maybe 2 to 2 and a half hours of sleep. I've been having trouble sleeping lately as it is, and now I also have the excitement of this game stuck in my head.

The content file is downloaded for me, and now I am at 52% on the main game. After that it's just the tiny online pass file, so it shouldn't be too much longer now.

Verh smooth download and the game is running superb!
Menus and in game is super smooth.

Few thing I noticed right away.
High bounces are gone
Hit variety greatly improved.
I like Steve Lyons
You can hear the subway in Chicago
Pitch history colours finally fixed!

Loving it so far!

I wish I started my download at 12am, instead I decided to get the digital copy instead of the disc at 3am. It took me ~2.5hrs to complete the additional content file, and just started downloading the main game and its 6am now. Lol, think I am going to pass out and just install and play it tomorrow.

Mine is goin' well - about a megabyte or so a second.. I'll install it when I wake up tomorrow.. see if the "pitch stutter" is in the downloaded version..

What is the "pitch stutter"? I can you please elaborate on this? This is the first time I ever gotten anything from the PSN store, I thought digital version will run faster/smoother than hard copy since its not loading from the disk.

Well my estimated time said 360 mins but when I came down stairs 4 hours later it was done. It's gonna be a great day off.

Mine was 2000 or so minutes when I started and left for work. I seriously hope my situation is the same when I get home.

Started my download around 4:40 AM Eastern time and I'm at 87% on the second part. It's gonna take another hour or so to install everything.

21.7 GB in 3 hours isn't too shabby though.

I cannot even start--PSN down for maintenance?

Re: Pre-Order MLB 13 The Show From PSN Store & Download at 12:01 AM EST, March 5th

Downloaded and installed in a little over 2 hours

Takes a little over 20GB on the Hard Drive.

Played 1 game and it is freaking awesome as I suspected it would be!

you must have super fast internet connection. i finished downloading the first one and main file is ~85% complete....its been ~4.5-5hrs since i started this whole downloading procedure.

debating if i should do the rebuilt database on ps3 before i install the main file to avoid the "pitcher stutter" bug a lot people seem to be having. but don't want to turn off my ps3 and have to download the whole thing again since i didn't install it.


ps: do i have to download both files again if i ever want to reinstall the game again for whatever reason? or will both of the downloaded files always be saved in my system?
