The dilemma is that the blu-ray offers much space to be used for games, and downloading games designed for that is probably a massive pain in the ass, both for users and Sony's servers.

I can't see Sony offering a game like MGS4 or Uncharted for download, unless they rebuilt the games for it, which I don't see happening.

Clearly a model like this would be directed at people in developed countries with great Internet connections. I don't think it would be a big problem. With my connection I could download a 50 GB game in around 10 hours, and AFAIK no PS3 game is that big yet.

But as I said I don't see it happening either, as it probably would end up costing around the same to produce.

 

I also live in a developed country, but it would probably take me 10 days to download 50GB, not to mention my connection would probably be terminated for exceeding bandwidth limitations before I finished. Infrastructure has a long way to go before downloads take over completely...

 

Completely agree. It's like 0.001% of the developed world with that capability, much less the percentage that own a PS3.

Buying a PS3 shouldn't automatically mean you have to install a lease line. My office has (6x2M) 12M lease line and I am sure I couldn't do 50GB in 10hrs.
