So, in a country where 80% of households DO NOT HAVE BROADBAND INTERNET, and most households pay for their dial-up on a minute basis, more people are going to download a multi-gigabyte game over weeks than are just going to walk out to the store and buy it?

You know how fast the PS STORE is in japan?

On dial up? I don't know ... 56k?

Basically 60 hours for every Gigabyte of data, at even $1 per hour you would end up spending hundreds of dollars to download that game.

In terms of the popularity broadband internet service, several countries in Asia are way ahead of North America.  South Korea and Japan are among the list.  Where did you get that idea of 80% of households (I assume you meant Japan) do not have broadband internet?

This is an example of how fast the PS store in Japan. 586 MB in under two minuttes. I didn't mean to do advertisement for CAG, just like to show you the video proof.
