I wonder what internet speed you'll need for this feature. Pretty sure my 12Mbps down/ 1Mbps up won't nearly be enough for this feature on either console :/

Well, the key is that developers have to manage their data in such a way that the first parts of the game get downloaded first.  I assume that once you've downloaded the beginning stages, even those with slow speeds (including me) will be able to play them.  The problem will likely come when you play faster than the game downloads.  I hope that it results in just some kind of warning/road-block and not a crash.

Some types of games, such as open-world and perhaps fighting games, might need to DL a greater percentage than linear games before you can even start.  I still plan to download over-night whenever possible.

Ah, must have missed that part while skimming through the article. Thank you^^
