    I got home from work tonight and decided to bite the bullet and pick this up for PS4, (Was going to get it for PC but NOPE!) I set the download going about 4 hours ago and expecting it to be done by the time I was ready to play it. However I just checked it and it still has not finished the initial 16GB download. I know PSN isn't as fast as steam but it's normally pretty decent for me. But this has to be the worst it's ever been. Is anyone else getting this?

    At time of posting it has just under 1GB of the initial download to go and it's quoting me 41mins.

    I'm in the UK so I would be interested to know what experience other UK duders are having. Either way It looks like I won't be playing it tonight.

    If I had planned on getting the PS4 version to begin with I would have set the download going before I left for work. Unfortunately I didn't find out about the state of the PC port until it was already too late.

    I knew this would be the case. This is the first time I actually decided to purchase in advance and take advantage of the PS4 pre-load and downloaded everything (somewhat) quickly on Sunday.

    Got a physical copy, but that day 1 one patch alone took 2 1/2 hours to download. PSN showing it's great download speeds once again.

    Did the pre-load and it took roughly the three and half hours from the time I bought it to the time it unlocked to become playable. Not bad IMO, 16GBs in three hours seems pretty fair but I still remember 28.8kb/s.

    I did have one rough error where I tried to launch the game after it said it was unlocked and it hung on the splash art of Batman when you first boot the game, then my PS4 wouldn't restart unless I pulled the AC cord, but after I let it grow to 20GBs the game ran no issue.

    For comparison I also bought MLB The Show 15 digitally which is another 50GB game and it took about five hours to download.

    Download time just keeps creeping up. Starts at 45 minutes, goes up to 5 hours... then 7.

    I had the same problem. That nearly 4 gig Patch took hours to download. A few of the DLC's took sometime as well. But man, was that patch a long time.

    Same issue here, set to download and it said four hours. Came back from work to find that it was less than 50% through with an estimated download time of 16 hours remaining.

    In addition to the download speeds, leaderboards weren't working last night for me either, so I think PSN might just be kinda fucked.

    I bought the game which took just under 2 days to download, well, became partially playable, then took another 16 hours to "install". It's just not acceptable by todays standards. I could of walked to the local supermarket and back literally a hundred times if not more and got it cheaper...

    Welcome to PSN. The slowest download speeds since PS3. With games getting larger and larger it is insane that Sony hasn't done much to increase their download speeds.

    You could buy the game at a store for shorter time it's taking you to dl it. I have a wireless connection that's unstalbe, rarely dl anything except mandatory updates. I keep thinking of putting a hardline connection in but don't want to go through the hassle.

    It took about 4 hours to download the 3.5gb patch for me.

    PSN speeds were slow on PS3 and they continue to be slow. They still haven't figured out this whole internet part of their console yet.

    If you keep hitting pause/resume even if it takes 30 tries the speed will kick in.

    PS4 download speeds are way under what my bandwidth is able to handle. It sucks.
