Audiophile Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 My PS store is now telling me is undergoing maintenance! Strange it won't let me in They announced a maintenance days ago, those that signed in before the maintenance like myself get to stay signed in. I guess you didn't get the memo lol "PSN Maintenance Scheduled for Thursday, August 22nd" http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/08/19/...ay-august-22nd/ Ah, ok. Didn't know about the scheduled maintenance.

Kirsty Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Another pic from Reddit. So what exactly is this? Pre-load means the entire game is downloaded but you can't install or play before the release date? Never done digital before so forgive my ignorance.

Demain Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I believe so Kirsty. Sea do it all the time. Here's my download with a bit of proof it's not fake. http://db.tt/TK7ji4w1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trund Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Considering it says 17.09.13 next to it probably means that the game can't be played until that date. Anything else would seem rather fishy to be honest. And yes, probably can preload the game and then it'll just unlock on midnight, just like Steam etc. does it.

Audiophile Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 What people are doing right now is pre-loading the game files (much like you do on Steam) and on the game's release the server will unlock these files and you can play the game. Steam does pre-loads all the time for popular games. You download the files then it just sits there. On release day you download a further file and then the server unlocks the game for you. So it won't be playable. Not at all. I hope the NA store can pre-load, too.
