Well not me specifically lol this where my issue lies. It's available tonight for me, predownload has not started and Australia internet is slow, I wont be able to play it until tomorrow.

I might try and get a refund and buy from the shops tonight instead

My PS4 download is 32.63GB total and I live in the US.

same and take about 4 hours

In the UK, got a download button in the PSN store. Click it, get an error trying to download the game and theme. This svcks.

Wow you have great internet connection in Usa, y spend 3 hour in 5 gb lol.

I think the servers are stomped right now, at least in my area.....I should be downloading at about 6GB/hour but right now only getting 3.5 to 4GB per hour but it should still be perfectly set to finish downloading well before the unlock time.

Mine still has the countdown clock.

The countdown clock will be there until the game unlocks at full release time.....it will not go away when you start preloading....click on the countdown time and see if it takes you to a screen with the countdown clock and a button that says download.

Already tried it gives me the option to auto download (which I select yes for both game and theme) then it goes back to countdown. I assume my ps4 will start downloading as soon as it is ready....

At some point if it doesn't start automatically that checkmark box to autodownload will go away and a button that says "Download" will appear....but it sounds like your regional PSN hasn't released it for preload yet.

That's what I assume. I expect at midnight tonight my ps will automatically start downloading. Might stay up to make sure it does lol

Heads up if anyone wants to try: I still had countdown clock, but used Android app and hit "pre-release download" or some [censored] like that, and 5 minutes later I was downloading it (This was about 2 hours ago).

What country? US PSN released the game for preload three hours ago.

Not to everyone. Everyones console still has to get the store update. Some people still haven't gotten it. Also, I'm EU.

It's on my android (UK) but just keeps saying in a queue

I know that's why I asked. Good to know someone in the EU is downloading.

That's the issue I had yesterday.....wouldn't actually let me download. Hope you guys get going soon.

Well nothing has officially been announced that UK is ready so I know it will sort itself out, just acting like a kid on Christmas Eve in the meantime lol

Same.

still waiting (Southern UK) android app just says "Queued for Download".

The PRe-Order page has changed though as this afternoon I had an ETA on when the pre-load would start which wass the 9/11/2015, but thats now gone so just impatiently waiting for sony to update the store. My hunch is it's going to be midnight

Same in Spain.

Agreed. Doesn't stop me checking every 15 mins lol

for some reason my download went from about 31gb to a 4 gb download...what the hell? did somthing go wrong?

Nah your fine, just press the options button on the fallout logo and go to info and you'll see its downloading in the background.

Leave it alone.....and do not disconnect from the internet or power down your console after it "finishes" because the game does have to download 31 or 32GB.....go to your dashboard highlight the Fallout 4 game, hit the options button and select "Information".....the fourth line down will read "Download Status"....that tells you the true state of your download.
