Heavensward Preorder on PSN (EU) - MIA!

Why on earth do people expect the PSN to suddenly collapse when people start downloading HW. It's managed to work perfectly fine with every other game including when more popular games like Destiny start to get downloaded all at once and we haven't come across any issues downloading any of the patches simultaneously so what is so special about HW that is going to be too much for the PSN to handle.

Just because you didn't suffer problems, doesn't mean others didn't, every time psn lags on me and crash whenever a big game drops. even YESTERDAY when I downloaded the free MGSV GZ it crashed (you can check the reports from others if you want to make sure). when destiny dropped, i didn't even buy the game and I couldn't access PSN for 2 days, because I keep getting "Server is busy" error. not to mention ddos attacks that happen every now and then.

the whole point of "Pre-Order" is to avoid the hassle of downloading on release. and its only 5 days early if you assume that it will allow you to get it on the 19th on 00:00 which we all know not gonna happen, so pretty much you get 4-3 assuming no delays happens from psn or crashes. if such thing happen then we will have 3-2 days EA assuming psn get fixed right away.
ALL THAT could've been avoided if they had planned EU early access accordingly, not just assume it will go smoothly like NA . NA have 2 or 3 countries while EU has 30+ countries.

Just going to correct you there, Destiny had PSN issues on launch.

But every PS Player knows 1 rule. PSN is unpredictable. No matter what way you shape it though, I'm sure by now SE have a fairly good understanding on how Sony operate regarding PSN updates etc. This shouldn't of been an issue, at this stage of the game.

Of course, I won't throw abusive terms out there, but they are a business.. and as such, this is unacceptable.
