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

I'm glad I read this thread, because I had no idea the game would be so freakin' huge. I'm playing on an old backward-compatible PS3 (60 GB), so this is a no go for me.

I' m going to Gamestop for it, 80GB HDD is too small for this and if I have problems the PS store does not issue refunds! Its a great deal if you have the space for it. I could only free up 33GB and I'll be playing the show til at least November.

Regardless of what the total size ends up being it's not worth the time imo. My reasoning is when I downloaded CoD: Black Ops it was 18 GB's and took about 3 hours to download.

Also since there will be quite a few people trying to get the game at 12:01 am it will more than likely slow down the download time.

So yes it's a good idea in the long run but if you want the game right away like I do I'd rather just pop into walmart get the game and start playing at 12:30.

Ends at about 7pm pst, 10pm est. If it doesn't extend longer than that.

There was a recent maintenance though that lasted well past its scheduled time.

Well that maintenance pretty much seals the deal for me getting the disc version. So know it is pretty much a given that you are not going to be able to start downloading the game at 12:01. Now they are talking about around 4am and that is if the maintenance doesn't extend beyong their guess time. Glad I waited it out to see what version I will get.

From what Sony has said it is supposed to end at 10pm EST March 4th. The link posted was in GMT. Of course it could go on later, but as of now its planned to end in time for the midnight release.

Oh ok. I think I will still end up going the disc route.
