no its the full game..went into the vault..clicked start franchise just to make sure i wasn't tricked..no notifications to start another download..i was shocked also how fast this went but am not complaining

No you dont understand. You bought a disk. You installed the content form the disk. There was no downloading taking place.

It is unreal to me how people continue to miss the point. I mean without actually coming out and saying it, posts like this are unbelievably attempting to assign some amount of blame the customer for ordering a product that they have yet to receive. That is completely insane!

Like my father always said, "The "why" doesn't matter". Who cares why someone preordered a digital copy, because you can, that's why.

I mean wow.

he's just trolling you. Ignore him.

4. Employment - Many people work so staying up to midnight is not an option and they may not have time during the day to pick it up. Pre-order, have it automatically download, come home and enjoy without any hassles.

You're right I forgot about that one and it's valid. Well, for some people, I should say.

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

I was asleep. I thought I'd just let the system work how it was designed to work.

I guess I could have assumed PSN would screw this up and just plan on buying a hard copy today.

But then again, I could have gotten into a deadly car crash on the way to Best Buy! Pheww, glad I didn't make that mistake!

Couldn't they have just rolled over and done the same thing from their phone at 12:01 though?

You're already assuming everyones in the same niche. There's at least one million people trying to download the game atm and there are a variety of scenarios that you are dismissing. Your point seems to be "This is why I didn't pre-order, obviously everyone is the same as me" which is outlandish.

I just wanted to say, I just got off the phone with tech support.

They are outsourced from india, so you do have to deal with a bit of an accent (just a heads up). But the guy I talked with was helpful.

Said they couldn't give a time frame because they are maintaining the PSN. Then I requested a refund and he asked if I wanted it in my PSN wallet or my credit card.

So all in all, pretty helpful support. Didn't have to jump through hoops. And now im off to Wal-Mart

I am totally p*ssed at Sony on this.

False advertisement. They have my $$, and I cannot download the game.

No, my question is "what does preordering do that ordering at 12:01 from your phone/tablet/computer not do?"

I'm really not trying to troll here. I don't understand it here, just as I don't understanding preordering on itunes, or preordering kindle books.

I had the same nice service from the people at Sony CS so I'll wait and see. I'm still thinking that if you show your displeasure without being arrogant, you get at least good service.

Some people are asleep at midnight. Did you hit your head or something or can you just not understand that?

Haha, I was just thinking, if I ordered at 9pm PST for overnight deliver last night, it would be here in a couple of hours.

Disclaimer: Now, overnighting the hard copy of a video game is a completely insane thing to do and I wouldn't actually do it.
