Who said the 19th and when? Why are we not being kept updated? I still can't see a digital download on the store, and it's expensive I hope we are gonna get some kinda of gesture from square for having to pay most and wait longest for a digital copy, are we even going to get early access?
PS4 digital pre orders!! can we have it!

It best be cheaper I'm sick of paying more than other regions once you look at exchange rates and yet recieving the worst service of all the regions, wether psn is different or not why couldn't we have it earlier like JP and NA, always an after thought and you know the stores gonna go down or there will be "teething problems" or both and we gonna be shafted whole the other regions are playing we will be waiting for it to download/actually work properly!

The downtime for downloading and installing that 17 gig patch will be longer than for the 1.7 gig purchase. If the expansion release is anything like they've done with major patch releases, it'll only be near the very end of the maintenance period that we can even begin the patch download. So it'll be 24 hours of maintenance followed by probably another 24 hours or more of downloading.Quote:

not sure if its been mentioned yet but I know when they release patches early, people datamine the crap out of the download and then post that crap everywhere. I don't really fault them for waiting for the last min before allowing people to download the expansion. It also allows them to work to the last min making sure the patch is up to date. Its going to suck but it should not be a surprise. I have to laugh at people who take time off in the first week of a games launch (especially an MMO) there WILL be issues. I usually wait untill at least 2 weeks after launch before taking time off to veg and it hasnt failed me yet.
Maybe I'm just one of thoes wierd people who doesnt care if im the first one to do something. Patience is a virtue i guess.
