Yeah for a 'developed' nation we are hovering at the bottom of the list in terms of good ISP plans but it stems from such a huge geographical location and such a small population proportionately...and to top it off our newly elected PM made promises of high-speed Internet implementation i'm guessing fibre optic lines but then bailed out after winning the election...can't we sue them from backing out of promises??

Anyway Australia's problems aside and we are a developed nation where else is the Xbox marketed that would not have good Internet plans? There must be others prohibiting your suggested plan of digital distribution.

Sue a politician for breaking promises? You might as well sue the winter for dropping rain.

Actually, the US is ranked well below Europe and Japan when it comes to internet connectivity. But this is being fixed rapidly with high bandwidth networks being deployed on a wide scale.

The next gen will start in 3-4 years and should last till about 2020. I think you should have your bandwidth problems fixed somewhere in between.
