I created a toon and it worked fine, wasen't finished the download though so I couldn't log into any other characters.
Ok. I didn't feel that I had to explain in detail to someone as awesome as Mepps but apparently I overestimated some people. Once those are downloaded, you can play the game in PlayGo mode Gameplay essentially limited to character creation, the tutorial, and safehouse The rest of the game will continue to download in the background There are two downloads before you can start, right? Still with me? At this point you can Create a Character, do the tutorial and enter the safehouse. Now keep up as this is where i seem to have lost you.....The rest of the game will continue to download in the background? There is no download size listed for 'the rest of the game' and since I'm at work and don't have access to that information, I thought I would ask so I would know what to expect if I got done with what I can do and it's still downloading and nothing else was available. M'kay?
If you had the game on PS3 you already know roughly the size of the game on your HDD. Your just over thinking or not thinking I can't tell. The game is roughly 20 gigs no matter how you slice it. Estimate accordingly.
I called them and they said that they took the Playstation Network down and "expect it to be back up shortly".
all I can say is HA, some folks just never learn, you first have a new console launch, which more than likely wont be smooth, then you have this game which you should know wont be a smooth launch. Just saying
