Hey guys, thanks for keeping this thread light-hearted and gripe free. I just wish that someone at Sony would clearly announce release dates and times for thier products. That would avoid so much BS. Updates, DLCs, whatever, should be annonced in the following format.

This product will be available at X time on X date.

How hard is that! I find it impossible to believe that release times and dates are surprises to the people that run that organization, so why is it a surprise to us, the consumer? The prevalence of vague communication avenues, such as Twitter, only amplifies the ambiguity. I think this should be especially true when your consumers get a kind-of-surprise-delay on their product. Rant complete, don't let me ruin the cool waiting vibe. I just can't wait to drive all my favorite cars on Spa.

It also depends on the the people doing the programming and coding for the PS Store, you don't think that stuff just magically appears do you? Human issues and computer issues can also cause problems with stuff like this and things happen when you least expect or can afford for them to happen.
Also if you have ever waited for stuff before from the PS Store then you would know that they update the store in the afternoon/evening, not at midnight or in the morning.

Also a lot of what happens with DLC is determined by the developer not the publisher (eg: PD vs SONY) and with COD they release the DLC to the publisher the day before the release.

You went the wrong way. EST time later then PST. I had the same thought process when I read 14:00 PST. Was like 2pm. However as mentioned. It's more like 5-6pm EST

For the servers sake. I hope they roll it out in the next hour. Many east coast and Midwestern people are working or in school. This would allow some spread on DL'ing traffic.

Yeah I was just thinking that, sorry I'm used to being on a different coast every week. lol
 
Guys, do not bank on that time. The Playstation store normally updates anywhere between 2pm - 6pm EST.

Note you don't have to download anything - all the new content was included in the Spec 2.0 update. Purchasing the DLC packs from the store simply 'activates' and enables it for your PSN account.
 
IIRC, all of the Pacific Time Zone observes daylight saving time and is therefore PDT (Pacific Daylight Time) and therefore no PST (Pacific Standard Time) exists...

In any case, I'm sure Kaz meant 2:00pm PDT (2:00pm MST, 3:00pm MDT, 4:00pm CDT, 5:00pm EDT).

FYI - The Mountain Time Zone currently has both MST and MDT, parts of Arizona don't observe daylight saving time. Hawaii also doesn't observe daylight saving time and is in HST.
 
I'm currently B-Spec grinding and would like to avoid checking the store after each round. So if you would be so kind, once someone discovers it's there, to
please post here. That way those interested can subscribe to the tread
and get an e-mail.
Thanks
 
Same topic, not the same question. But thanks, I read that when it was posted.
No reason to comment unless you're in NA and have found it in the store.
 
I hope you guys get it soon, it's not like you've haven't waited long enough. And I hope they tell us why it was delayed, and if it's gonna be like this every time.

Not to nitpick, but Arizona doesn't have a Daylight saving time change.

We here in Arizona do it our way.:sly:
 
It's almost here! I can't wait to try the Touring Cars, and hear them. Too bad we can only use the paints once though. Cause of that, I won't be using any of them. :(

I thought there was also going to be some in-game events according to the EU PS blog. I guess they meant something else?

And oh yeah, I wonder what the GT Academy dynamic theme will be like. The stealth NSX will be a huge plus.
