This wasn't anything intentionally done by SCEA. They had every intention of getting it out by 12:01. I know we've been anticipating this for some time, but patience is key. In my opinion digital is a means of convenience for those that don't have easy access to a store or don't want to make the trip. Never is it guaranteed.

The issue is by other accounts this seems to be a trend. Infamous, also a first part game, didn't get out at 12:01 either.

If they can't deliver at 12:01, than don't use it as marketing statement. It doesn't accomplish anything positive otherwise, and will only annoy people.
