Seems that the game is avaliable at thuesday 00:00, so some regions are getting it a few hours before
Just 1 hour and half for me...
Well only online I do is some coop to gain echoes and insight. I just stop before fighting MP and level up to 90 and call it quits for that build. I really just wanted to try bunch of weapons with builds specialized to them and try to get the weapons as early as possible etc. Didn't really feel like going to NG+ with more than one character and I don't really care for Chalices.
Yes, you do.
It is balanced around late game builds so no need to go to NG+ or to start new character.
Let me regale the DLC OT, as the trials and tribulations of pimmsy continue!...slowly.
Not much progress for the missus today, but she unlocked the gate nearest the lift in Cathedral Ward, got killed by a Kidnapper, found Adella and sent her to the chapel and escaped the Gaol.
She gets horrendously murdered by Kidnappers whenever she fights one, even though I told her the trick about going behind it and doing a visceral attack when it charges up, so for now I've told her to ignore them.
She also successfully killed Henryk, so she's happy that she's on the good path for Eileen, and I saved the video clip of the fight, so I'll upload it to YouTube and post it here later.
I'm excited to see what her reaction is to the DLC when she eventually gets there, she should be confused as fuck since she's got no idea it exists.

Any source to back this up? The EU store usually updates somewhere around 5pm.

So I'm level 128(ish) but I haven't exactly been meticulous with how I level up. So I'm not some greatly speced character or anything. I missed the blood rock on my first play through so my LHB is only +9. And I'm not exactly a great player (BB is my first Souls type game).
Anyway, so on NG+ I decided I needed to kill Amelia before tomorrow, and even though I'd been farming levels in Old Yharnam for awhile, Vicar was still handing me my ass. I ended up summoning two people, we killed her without too much trouble. But it still took a long ass time.
Am I going to be just totally fucked in this DLC?

Ah ok, I've been through so many damn chalice dungeons...I fucked up with my current character and made two Lower Pthumeru's instead of a Lower Pthumeru dungeon and a Lower Hintertomb. You have no idea how annoyed I am over that cause I don't want to do two of those fucking things...

Mine will unlock in about 2 hours 
Really excited for this but I might wait until I'm done with Assassin's Creed Syndicate so that I can dive completely in the DLC.

Is the travel to the bosses really far after a death?
Haha oh wow. That must have sucked hard. Aren't the materials even hard to get for those?
DLC unlocked. Time to get destroyed.
Maybe. This dlc is probably going to be balanced around you being in the late game. But you can always summon someone for help if it gets too tough.

Oh it sucked, I don't even know what I have to do to get those materials purchaseable, nor do I even know where to farm the damn things. I think if I make a root Central Pthumeru chalice dungeon I should be able to get more, but man. Have fun getting rekt. I can't even deal with that stuff till late Tuesday if I'm lucky.
(Quantities of bosses/weapons only in the spoiler)
5 bosses and 10 weapons

So just pre-ordered and the download won't take (says error downloading)... has that happened to anyone else?

Honestly, I hope this expansion sees strong sales so one more will be released. That's not happening though
Try checking if Bloodborne has the latest update.

I think they already confirmed no more content.

Played an hour of this DLC last night before going to bed - got up to & had a few cracks at the first boss, and picked up 3 main-hand weapons in the first area. It's really nice so far, loving the aesthetic and level design of the first area and the new enemies are pretty hard as well. Also
. In Australia btw, so it released 9 hours ago for me
fought an npc who was in beast form using the beast claws - shit looks fucking awesome and his moveset was crazy. Seems he had a unique beast roar and a slightly different roll, too

Yeah latest update is downloaded...
And I just saw the problem... guess no pre-loading for the DLC other than the patch...
PSN says I have 6 hours until I can play
I asked a couple hours ago in this thread if it was safe to pre-order/download the DLC but didn't get a response.
Not really.

I'm in Australia, with an AU Bloodborne disc, but I play on a US PSN account. Knew I had to buy the DLC from my AU account, so did...but when I logged back in to my US account the PS4 listed no add-ons for Bloodborne. I was sad, thought I'd have to start a new character on my empty AU account.. but nope, load up the game and the DLC is there! I was tricked by the PS4 library with its only-showing-DLC-for-the-current-region ways. Phew! (just posting this in case anyone else does this silly cross-region stuff and isn't sure how it works with DLC.. seems there are no worries..)
