although i see now the time im posting on this website says 11:08..
Yeah… they must be going by that west coast time zone. I’m just really upset that I’m left watching other people play it via Twitch
It’s kinda messed up that Playstation blog has this post at the bottom of the webpage. They know people are upset, I just wish they would acknowledge those who paid money for something that wasn’t delivered on time. An apology would be nice.
Almost 12:30 AM here in Pacific time. Still no download link from the store.
Any word on when I can download? Still up waiting… Im too hyped to go to bed but it looks like I might have to…
@104 don’t expect one, i know think i can confirm for the most part the game will not be ready until the store updates tomorrow night. I’m just rumoring this but it is likely that no one is at sony right now actually addressing the issue at all.
It better be soon, if it doesn’t come to us till the store sets up for the new stuff on Tues. i’m gonna be mad..
Looks like I have to wake up early and pay gamestop a visit. My least favorite place to buy games
@108 there are plenty other establishments that sell games.
yeah, 12:23 now on website clock, actually 4:23 AM …..Sony shouldnt be telling us 12:01 AM download time if it is not going to happen…cant believe i stayed up for this..
really sh@t the bed on the MLB the Show 14 PS4 release…#sonyfail
Follow @MLBTheShow for updates, not that there are any last one was an hour an a half ago and it was that they were working on it and appreciated our patience #sonyfail
@109 the two places near me are Walmart and Gamestop. Both places I hate to support.
I’ve experienced several day one delays on vita and ps3 when I bought from psn in the past. But I dont remember seeing a message saying it would be available any time after 12:01 Am EST on any other game except MLB 14. Unfortunately I still cannot download the game at 2:32 AM CST
@114 I think the problem is that they are updating the entire store currently. Its just unfortunate timing.
They never update the entire store at this time.
Nothing for me. :'(
I hate how there hasn’t been anything quality for PS3 and Vita lately. It seems sony is sadly more focused on those devils satan minions called “Indies”.
Preorder mlb14 still unable to download terrible services
7.5 hours and still nothing, what an epic fail. Day 1 digital??? Not.
WTF sony WTF
I’m french, it’s 02:00 pm in here and I’m waiting since 06:00 am (midnight in USA). What the heck Sony is waiting for ?? I pre-ordered MLB 14 The Show two days ago ! I’m YouTuber and I’d like to start playing and recording… My subscribers are waiting for my review of this game. Come on, Sony ! Even french dudes want your games ! So pleaaaaase -_-
I don’t think its fair to state a release date and not have games be ready to play on the day. Its not impossible (difficult, perhaps). Day 1 digital is a great idea but atm it just feels like a neglected or poorly controlled service. It has long since ceased being annoying, and is instead disappointing. I thought these guys had their s**t together…….
Check out the MLB The Show Twitter (https://twitter.com/MLBTheShow). Nothing new since the last message : “thanks for your patience, we won’t rest until you guys are playing” ‘ -_-‘
So glad you took my 60 dollars telling me that the game would be available at 12:01 Am. Its now 8 and a half hours later, what’s the deal. I thought this would be faster, I could have just given my money to Best Buy quicker.
I think we should get a free ps card for this mlb the show problem I came home from a 13 hr night shift at work and it’s not even here at 8:am on the day of release. I can go to walmart 5 min away and be playing soon but I got your preorder. So I’m screwed. I have to work tonight that’s why I preordered so I could play now. No I have to wait till tomorrow .
Picking up Bound By Flame because I really need something to play on my PS4 and, honestly, I’ve been dying for an RPG and Dragon Age is still a ways off. BBF looks flawed, but they look like flaws that are easily overlooked if the game’s decent and Spiders has a lot of potential for a smaller team (if Mars: War Logs is any indication). Plus, that game does look pretty cool.
Midnight release for mlb the show ps4 digital? Way to drop the ball, Sony, you have succeeded in making digital less convenient than driving to the store for a physical copy. You must truly reanalyze your customer service and making those of us willing to preorder digital a priority.
11 hours later, still can’t download. This game is made by sony, you’d think theyd at least get it right with one of their own games
Am extremely disappointing. Had hoped to enjoy the game at midnight and after staying up an hour after the quoted time for download I gave up and went to bed. Waking up this morning and still no download this is very disappointing Sony. Whats most troubling is that they are very quiet on the matter and have given no ETA on when it will be available.
A good line up of games I must say so myself this titian attacks game I’m not sure about must do more research of course.
“We are continuing to work with the PS Store team to resolve the download issue on the PS Store. We appreciate your patience and will provide an update as soon as possible.” -_-‘
Here it is ! Good luck everyone, the size is 37.5 Go. See you in game !
THE DOWNLOAD IS NOW AVAILABLE.. I had a problem getting the download to start for 10 minutes.. The DOWNLOAD option was there but when I clicked it it wouldnt start.. I signed out of PSN, and rebooted my system and it worked.. WOOT WOOT
Ok, still zero news on PS2, Dying Light, and War Thunder? Only reason I pre-ordered ps4, would have waited for Destiny and the Division, but these games were announced as “launch titles” and influenced me to buy a ps4 early. Now there’s still nothing, do we seriously have to wait 7 months for E3 before we’re given any word at all? If they’re even mentioned at E3! Starting to think Sony made em up, lol. I mean, there are games that I’ve pre-ordered months ago that I haven heard anything from. As happy as I’ve been with surprises like Warframe, Don’t Starve, and Mercenary Kings, the fact of the matter is, I didn’t buy my ps4 for them, and the games I DID buy for have disappeared. And now, it’s starting to get to the point where it’s going to be too late, I’ve waited for 7 months for word on these games, now there’s only half that until Destiny. The deafening silence from Sony an Devs is getting tiresome.
If anyone out there has info on any of these, please share!
Please please please add Tom Raider Chronicles as a ps one classic! Why does the EU have it and NA doesn’t? Please look into it at least, I would love to know the right person to bug to make this happen!
Any idea what the free games of may are for ps+?
