I've downloaded two full games on PS3 and in both cases it took quite a bit of time. Same thing when I downloaded Civ5 on the PC through Steam.
In all those cases, the games were probably less than 10GB (maybe not LBP). I don't see how any console company can really make that any different.
I have decent cable internet that gets speeds greater than 10Mbps down and all of the instances above were over my wifi-n network (PC) or g in the case of PS3.
Facts are, the system can only go as fast as the connection. So by Nintendo saying they'll have a sleep based download feature, I say awesome addition. I'll likely go mostly digital if rumors be true and used game sales are forced out of the systems or if they prove to have good sales. I simply don't like having to have racks of games and discs.
So, knowing I can buy the game at launch (midnight) and set it to download while I go to sleep, why would I need anything else?
