The US is the worst place for internet speed. Mainly because no one is spending the money to competently overhaul major cities. Till cities like NYC can have internet speeds that you can download 50GB is a few hours. DD won't take off. 24 hrs to dl 50GB isn't nice. When I can take a train to Best Buy. And get it in 1 hour. This is probbaly 15-20 years off. Plus, a lot of major companies will fight this heavly. Because this would destroy Christmas, and major game retails. Companies can easily screw Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo. The consoles can't be downloaded. So stores could easily refuse to stock them.
Oh, and 1TB drives are cheap, yes. But if every game is 50GB+ in the future, 1TB will be killed off in only 9 games. That's another issue. Paying $540 for games. Then another $100 every few months sucks. You'd be filling shelves with hardrives. You have to manaully mark. Then have physical discs with artwork.
