When you pre-order Heavy Rain at GameStop, you're supposed to get a code to download the first Heavy Rain Chronicles episode as well. However, the US retailer has stated that the DLC is going to be delayed for reasons yet to be explained.
"Due to a delay by the publisher, this content will not be available for download until Thursday, March 4, 2010," confirmed GameStop.
When contacted for a comment, Sony confirmed the delay telling us "Due to additional testing and development, the DLC had to pushed back by a week."
The European release is completely unaffected by this delay, and those in the PAL territories will be able to download the Heavy Rain Chronicles episode on launch day. First US gamers miss out on the Heavy Rain special edition, and now they have to wait a week for their code. Somebody at Sony must really hate Americans.

It is now out of order and artistic.
Win!
This is why I prefer Microsoft products.
U S A! U S A!
Kindly go fuck off, sir.
Why don't you get your own website so you can write about how great Sony is and how they can do no wrong? Why don't you STFU and find something better to do with your time?
I never said ps was flawless i was just stating that every single time ps is failing in some regard he writes a subjective blog. If you brows threw his other writings you can see more rage at ps almost making the 360 seem flawless. Just wish he was a bit more objective like Kotakus authors.
How can it be subjective if it does happen to fail in some regard? Shit happens, that's a fact.
''somebody at Sony must really hate Americans.'' In this blog that was a subjective example i didnt just say in this very one exactly. What about the whole ''heavy rain is a disservice to gaming bla bla'' totally a subjective blog entry.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Man, if you actually believe that you are seriously ignorant.
Also, if you take your head out of your tightened fanboy sphincter for 1 second and check some of Jims other blogs, you would see he actually really likes his PS3 and the games he has for it, as do I and many other people. You seem to be the only one who wants to find bias where there is none.
Stop being so butt hurt over a piece of hardware.
"wy doesnt he make a blog on how 360 is actually holding back this gaming generation with its out dated junk?"
God.. do you stupid fanboys even see what you type? It's like you get possessed by some kind of fanboy demon who makes you mash your face in to your keyboard and hit submit, slobbering and drooling everywhere due to your extremely slack jaw.
"it never was reported on this MS loving site."
Just go away. You are a fucking retard.
Something is really wrong with this site once jim makes an anti sony article all his followers esp that obnoxious randydixon jumps in with his smartass comments so annoying.
I guess you get hits by bashing sony, i cant believe destructoid has fallen so low. heavy rain doing gaming disservice? gimme a break.
I'll give it a rent at first to make sure that style of game play doesn't get boring after awhile.
It's about time publishers stopped treating PAL territories like the ginger step-child. Since you yanks pay 2/3 the price of what we pay, if not less, it's about time!
Microsoft loves us so much, we get a RROD ... oh wait, that's everybody! At least MS hates everyone EQUALLY!!
