Just to be clear, it was three times, but I completely agree. After working in customer service for a year, I always hated the guys who would say "so what are you going to give me for my trouble" so I wasn't about to ask for anything, but at the same time in this case, it shouldn't have been an issue of me asking. It should have been them offering.
Yeah... at this point I'm just going to get the physical copy eventually without deleting my save. I think it's just a matter of the free trial converting to the full game. Probably had I deleted the trial first, and then downloaded the full game, I would have been fine. But Sony shouldn't offer the trial if they're not prepared to support it properly.
