hi, i preordered fallout 4 through jb hi-fi in Australia. i received the retail copy 1 day after the release date (not bethesda's fault, due to logistics).
what i expected was to not use my internet data on a digital download, however i found that due to 'piracy' bethesda released only 5gb/25gb on the disk, with the other 20gb to be digitally downloaded.
now, instead of playing on release date, i have to wait overnight on my crappy internet speed with bandwidth being used by other members of the household before i can download the other 80%.
i really hope the wait is worth it, as this is quite upsetting for me as i feel like ive wasted my time and money so far.
I even spent $70 on a new SATA cd drive to replace my broken one so i wouldnt have to DOWNLOAD anything.
in conclusion, Bethesda, please take a long walk of a short cliff. I cannot believe we have been mislead, and i have lost a lot of faith in your company.
Regards, an upset customer.
nb. if the retail copy had been 20gb and the download 5gb, it would have been acceptable. but it is not.
