Report: PS4 teases impatient players with game preloading in April
"No preload until April," said Sucker Punch, responding to Twitter users anxious to play the new Infamous. "[And] for North America, the PS Store will update at midnight PST, so 3AM EST."
Even when pre-ordering a digital copy of PlayStation 4, PS3 or PS Vita games through PSN, users still need to wait for games to actually hit their release dates to download them. Steam and Origin PC users can often download game files ahead of release so they can play the very second a game is officially available. Unfortunately would-be PS4 superheroes will still have to wait a few minutes to scratch their Infamous itch.

VIT getting the game early is unfair in my opinion, it takes away the joy of starting from scratch with everyone else when it release.
You obviously didn't read the article, or have any common sense on the topic. Preloading is only downloading most of the game. It's still in an unplayable state, yet it takes the download of the game when it actually comes out at midnight whenever to only take a few megabytes to finish as opposed to the archaic form of digital distribution on consoles currently that requires you to wait until midnight (release) to download multiple gigs.
