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

10:43 AM - February 27, 2013 by Steve_OS

MLB 13 The Show is a "Day 1 Digital" game, which means if you pre-order from the PS Store, you can start downloading a digital copy of the game at 12:01 AM EST on March 5th.

As a bonus, if you pre-order from the PS Store you will receive an exclusive theme for your PS3 XMB menu screen and an extra 120 million for your Franchise budget.

At the moment, we only see the MLB 13 The Show Day 1 Digital pre-order available for the PS3, nothing on the PS Vita.

Steam has that preloading feature on PC.

I have the 80gb HDD with 20gb left, Is this enough? Anyone know an approximate size

Do you have to have a PSN card or can you just enter credit card info?

# 64 mmdmaznn @ 02/27/13 06:16 PM

Well this whole download deal certainly changes things....

...Decisions, decisions...

You can use a credit card. You can also use Paypal if you order it from the PSN's web store.

Got it all set up!

# 68 blueduke @ 02/27/13 08:03 PM

Wonder why you can't pre order the Vita d/l yet?

# 69 sls25 @ 02/27/13 08:11 PM

I have never digitally downloaded a full game before. Anyone who ever has done this, has there been any drawbacks that you experienced without having an actual disk, because the more I am reading, the more I'm thinking this Day 1 digital download is a no brainer.

so could i just buy the game off the ps3 store?

Yes, and you can download it at 12:01 March 5th

# 72 Chaos81 @ 02/27/13 09:01 PM

Just purchased. I much prefer having a download copy, and as I can't play it until Tuesday night anyway, I'll start downloading the game before I go to bed. Should be plenty of time to download.

this would be the full game or just some trial?

# 74 homerelmer @ 02/27/13 09:15 PM

Really wish this was available to pre-order on the Vita too! I got the combo deal pre-ordered from Amazon. I am tempted to cancel that and buy digital from PSN

Bigger files (full games) take longer than smaller files (patches, updates, etc...)

# 76 JKorbini @ 02/27/13 09:26 PM

can anyone guesstimate a size yet?

More than 10 GB is safe money. How much more exactly, we aren't gonna know for sure unless the devs tell us ahead of time or until we start downloading it at midnight.

Its been said before, but past games have been a around 20gb or more. This year could be different, but I'd assume it will be large. PS3 games on PSN have been huge lately (Uncharted, Ni No Kuni, etc).

Know though that you will need double that amount on your PS3.

20gb space to download installer.
20gb of space to put installed data in.

You'll end up with 20gb after install, but to install you'll need double the download size space.

WOW! I was pretty sold on digitally DL it and cancelling my Gamestop pre-order but after hearing it may possibly be 20GB? That would take FOREVER on my PS3. Xbox full games are around 5? My internet connection is good but 1GB takes about an hour. NO way im waiting that long.

I think that it should be available in other territories. Currently the MLB: The Show series is only sold in the US and Canada but there are a lot of people from other areas who purchase the game (as seen by the forums). If they made it available in all of the region's PSN stores then they could monitor the sales and see whether it would be financially viable to send boxed copies to these regions. Personally, I just hate having to wait while everyone in the States and Canada gets to enjoy it.
