well you dont have to go to the store and waste gas, you dont have to get up to change the game, no tax charge, could download it over night and play in the morning instead of having to wait till 11am. OF COURSE this being the only ****ing exception.

But you could have purchased at 12:01 without preordering, and if it wasn't up, withheld your money until it was.

I just don't understanding giving them your money in exchange for a promise of a digital good rather than waiting to give your money in exchange for the actual digital good.

Can someone please clarify for me why you would preorder a digital game? I literally can't think of one reason besides some sort of preorder bonus (which I don't think existed here) or funding development (not applicable here), but I'm sure there must be one.

It's a small thing, but I really like having the game on my system without the need for a disc. It's not worth waiting an extra day to play the game though

With pre-ordering it, it was supposed to start downloading automatically at midnight. I got up at 7:00am this morning to play for an hour or so, but no dice.

I also mistakingly thought this game was eligible for pre-download so that I could actually start playing last night at 12:01am, but that was yesterday's disappointment

I'll answer you the same I did with my wife and mother since they told me I should go with the hard copy.

1. I save taxes, which for me was 12$. Not a big deal, I know.
2. It's ecologicaly more responsible to buy digitaly instead of hard copy. It's not a big deal, I know
3. I thought I could start the download, get to bed, hit the gym, came back home and install without having to make a cut towards a store to buy it. Again, not a big deal.

It's the 3 reason. I can also add that I bought a few games on the PS3 and PS4 and downloaded them without problems. Therefore, I wasn't expecting a problem with MLB 14 The Show.

What I should have done is read more about Day 1 Digital delays before pre-ordering. That's my fault on that part. Next time, I'll know better.

You could have purchased it at midnight without preordering. It wasn't supposed to just be up for preorders at midnight...it was meant to be up for all.

Well, I guess once I found out it would be available early through PSN I figured I'm going to buy it there anyway...why not just go ahead and pre-order. Didn't put a ton of thought into it. Didn't even consider that Sony might **** the bad this badly on it.

I guess I'm just not as smart as you.

I appreciate your honesty, but...you make a highly irrational decision, and then whine about it when that decision doesn't work out?

One ounce of thought would have prevented the anger.

How is it irrational ? Nobody could have predicted the game would not be available for download on time. What would have prevented anger is Sony coming through on their end of the bargain. Please stop trying to pin this on the gamers. Your just gonna further piss people off.

Why couldn't you have just waited until 12:01, see if it was up, and then hit purchase?

I'm not sure why some of these games are offered digitally by Sony -- I don't know about you guys but I'm sure I would be downloading this game for days before I was able to play it given the file size.

Sony is at fault for failing on their promise.

Ragers are at fault for preordering a digital good without reading the terms of sale.

got my refund from PSN via telephone.

They gave the whole working hard, available early evening.

Tried to refund it to my PSN wallet, told them no REFUND TO THE CREDIT CARD.

Promptly went to gamestop and bought on my way to work.

Any idea on how long download takes via hardcopy?

Auto download is likely the main reason, as in, leave it on standby, and it starts downloading while you sleep/do whatever. And if you were planning on going digital anyway, why not?

I pre-ordered digitally, and while it isn't ideal, it is whatever. I have a lot of work I am supposed to do today anyway. And if this is the worst thing that happens to me this week, I'm not doing too bad.

Has anyone gotten a successful refund request? Just got off the phone and was spoonfed the same spin and BS.

Wait a minute... I just woke up... So are you telling me that this **** still isn't in the PS Store? Now I want compensation... This is ridiculous, and uncalled for man!!

When will the amateur hour antics end regarding PSN? There's no reason that this game, especially as large as it is, shouldn't have been sitting on their content servers a week ago.

Thankfully, I purchased a physical copy. I'm not going to pre-order anything digitally on PSN until they prove to me that they've dramatically changed their infrastructure. As much as they've improved stuff, so much of the network still feels like things have been patched together.

12 hours later and nothing. This is embarrassing. This is 2014, not 2001.

same thing really. i mean no one expect this sort of crap to happen. there was a bonus to preordering on PSN Store. thing it was like $20 on their Bonus Reward program.

This is unacceptable. I took a day off from work - which I never do - just to have a full day to enjoy this year's game. The MLB The Show series is basically the only reason I decided to go with the PS4 over the XBOX One. The bottom line is, SONY is not delivering on the product I purchased, which is the ability to download the digital version starting at 12:01 a.m. on May 6th. Anyone who purchased the Day 1 Digital Download should demand a refund - or at the very least a significant discount - which is what I intend to do.

They get away with this stuff because there is nowhere else to go for baseball.
