I thought the game officially released today. Why is it only still showing as a preorder? I preordered it yesterday and shouldn't the game be up for download now? Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Journey Still Preorder Only? (Non-PSN+ subscriber)
PSN usually updates around 5pm for me. The store updates in late afternoon every week, yet every week a new person posts about how something isn't showing up yet.
@StrainedEyes: Personally, I don't check PSN that often except for checking out the new stuff each week. This is the first time I have ever been fanatically waiting for a game to finally be put up.
@ESREVER: Thanks, sad thing is I got stuff to do tonight and had all morning and afternoon to play this... I am sad now...

Playstation store doesn't update until the late afternoon.It'll be out today, you just need to wait for them to update the store.
Yup. The store usually updates late at light.
You mean I waited all day to get home and download this thing and now I gotta wait possibly hours more? So for normal people who have to go to bed and work the next day, the real release date is tomorrow? It's already 5:30 PM here and it still says preorder. This is sadness! =[

It's really really annoying that it's the release date and I can't get it. Steam usually unlocks pre-ordered games at midnight. That's one reason why I rarely play console games anymore. Steam has this shit on lock down.
You would think that a company as big as Sony would be so kind as to provide us the same conveniences that a smaller company like Valve does. I won't complain, I'll have the game today, but it's really killed my productivity. Combine my anticipation for Journey with my reflections on Mass Effect, and I'll never get my homework done. Good thing it's Spring Break.
This is unfortunate. Games of 360 don't have this problem. I really want to play Journey too. I preordered it, why not I figured.
Dude it's not a problem, it's not a glitch or something. The store just hasn't updated yet, because it's not the normal update time yet.This is unfortunate. Games of 360 don't have this problem. I really want to play Journey too. I preordered it, why not I figured.

Problem was a poor word choice. I know it's intentional.
PSN use to update on Thursdays.It is extremely weird that PSN updates so late in the day. Xbox Live does it at like 4am.
I'm going to have a heart attack if the store doesn't update soon. I survived a long, stressful day only in anticipation of playing this game today.

I'm pretty sure that when they had ME3 for pre-order on PSN, they unlocked it the day of release before the rest of the store updated. Since Journey isn't as big a game as ME3, they'll just release it wen they regularly update the store.
