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.

 

 

In Portugal and Sweden (and I know other countries too) tons of people have at least a 16 Mbit connection. It's really cheap too (20-40 €)

If we count developed world as EU+USA+Canada+Oceania+Japan that's almost 1 billion people, according to your calculation only 10,000 people have this kind of connection :P

(and yes, I know you were exaggerating on purpose)

 

Well, Sweden is the capital of fast internet

Didn't the head of one the ISPs give his mom a 1 GBit connection, just to prove it could be done, or something like that?
