MLB 14 The Show Available As Day 1 Digital Download Available to Download Now (PS4)

Unfortunately this is how most companies are today, they totally lack any customer service whatsoever.

The most annoying part of this whole fiasco is that Sony will have either a half baked excuse or ignore the complaints. i can understand a few hours. but come on even sony has to think this has gone beyond a joke. And im also not expecting any composition or even a sorry Email from sony. Like many this is the first and last time i go Digital. for the past 4 years i had this and NCAA shipped to Australia rather than digital. Hell if i ordered from Amazon i would of not had high hopes to play the game so early.

And its almost 1AM where i live and my monthly internet cap reset today this is going to eat up almost 25% of my Quota was planning of splitting it between last month and this month by getting a nice chunk done yesterday.

A more rational reaction would seem to be "Darn, it's not up, maybe I'll go do those productive things I have to do and hopefully it's up when I come back. If not, I'll just cancel my preorder and grab from a store."

I've said a few times in this thread that I took a personal day form work in order to get into this game today. No that's not Sony's fault, but it still effects me. I would have been much more productive at work today. And like I said, if I'd know this would be the case I would have just skipped the pre-order and bought from a store today.

The promise of a post midnight (or thereabouts) download was literally the only factor that caused me to purchase from Sony rather than say Gamespot. And that promise turned out to be false.

I could have just as easily skipped the pre-order and gone to a store this morning, but their statement led me to believe that pre-ordering was to my advantage. Now I'm stuck waiting for them and in the end will have wasted at least half a day that I could have used more productively if not for their incorrect information. I think as a consumer it is my right to be annoyed by this sequence of events.

I feel what you guys are saying. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trolling y'all, cause I'm in the same boat, I'm waiting too.

I'm just intimating that this is a part of the informed/educated consumer issue we have in this world. Is Sony wrong for not delivering at 12:01am? Hell yea.

But is this something new? Nope. Are their issues with PSN reliability well documented? Yep.

Could folks have taken that info and decided that maybe going digital wasn't the best option? Of course. But a lot of the time the consumer takes some "puffery" as a warranty, and then it's on.

I see it everyday. Hell, I even have to do it. I try to make sure that when I tell a customer something, if it's written, then it'll happen. But sometimes you need to pump up your own standpoint a little bit to compete with the competition.

So Sony is trying to steal sales from retailers w/ the 12:01am line. They succeeded, but here comes the PSN issues that's been talked about, and the info is out there for anyone to read up on. Hell....there were issues with people downloading The Show 14 for the PS3, where it straight up would not install.

I get it tho, y'all are venting. I'm frustrated too...I guess we just go about handling it in diff ways.

one silver lining seems to be the game seems to be downloading at a decent rate of speed already at 20% ten minutes in..dk if thats fast or not but seems pretty decent to me so hopefully i can play in less then 5 hours or so!! have to work at midnight so just want to get a quick game in before that!!

New here at os. Understanding the human error that goes into these things but the wait is making me feel like Roger Dorn in Major League 2. Riding the pine while everyone with the hard copy getting to play sucks!

IMO they should not actually charge us full price for the pre-order till we actually have the game. That would make things alot easier. I thought that sucked before the botched digital launch, now even more so.

Bottom line Sony messed up they got our money just wait for the game and make sure to not buy digital from Sony again
