If it is 15gb or more I think I am going to pass and just get the disc version. It will take far too long for me to download it. I am downloading the new God of War demo now and it is telling me it will take close to 3 hours to finish. So if we are talking 15mb or more I am not waiting that long.

I am going to just wait until after 12 and see what the file size is and decide then. I could care less about the pre order stuff so I will see what happens when you guys start to download.

Purchased from PS Store, I got the theme immediately. To tell the truth, the theme is not a big thing, it's more like a backgroung, because nothing is animated.

Ya it's just background but I was expecting that since it only said theme.. It didn't say dynamic theme.

I'll be downloading the game. Love this option. By the time I'm done with a sports game it's resell value is next to nothing as I play it until the next version comes out. I'm still playing MLB 12 on my Vita right now. Downloading MLB 13 saves me the time spent going to a brick and mortar. Also don't have to swap out physical discs on my Vita or the PS3. Downloading for me at least is for sports games only though. As I said I play a sports game until the next year's game comes out so resell value is minimum (was lucky enough to get 18 bucks for my PS3 copy of MLB 12 though). However, on non- sports games such GTA, MGS, Uncharted, etc I'll always buy the disc. Reason being I usually finish these games in less than a month and rarely do another play thru. Resell the game on eBay and get at the very least half my money back to put toward the next upcoming blockbuster. But from now on downloading sports games is the way to go for me.

Everything will work the way it should with the digital copy. That is unless you don't have the HDD space for it, plan to have at least 40gb open for the download and install. As long as you got that you'll have no problems.

Thank as if you bought the game in the store and you installed it to your hard drive its the same exact game just you wont half to start from tray. It really loads faster and saves wear and tear on your CD ROM. I bought plenty of XBOX 360 games full games off the demand thing and just like it had the DISC of that game patches work the same when you start the game it will still prompt you to download patch. I don't see PS3 games being any different.

I would want to think that the size is reduced because its digital but your still get the same stuff if you went and bought the DISC. I hope this helps.

I don't think the size will be reduced at all, it should be the same exact data that is on the disc version.

Uncharted GOTY is 43.5gb, almost a full dual layer blurray. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/...re-update-280/

You also have to think about your HDD, you might be saving wear and tear on your blurray drive, but putting more work on your HDD. I think the benefits of digital are still great, but its not as cut and dry as just "digital is better".

Uh...this thread, especially the title itself, establishes that it's a pre-order. I fail to see the point of your post.

Yeah I did this. I'm gonna be really peeved if I don't have the space for it though on my fatboy 80. I've been meaning to upgrade that disk for years and haven't. Since the show is the only PS3 game I play anymore I'm not too worried about it. Thanks for the heads up in this thread I had no idea they were even offering it up as a digital download. With my 100mb service, I might even get a quick exhibition in before bedtime!

[aukevin]

I would like to go digital, but I'm not committing until I hear disk size. 20gb is fine, 40gb is not.
