Benefit of digital purchasing

the downside being it takes hours to download, it takes up all of my downloads for the month and the prices even after a cut are still more expensive than a physical copy in the stores... well at least thats how it is in Australia =(

I started a download while I was at work and by the time I got home it was done.  Really the time it takes is so inconsequential it is a silly argument.  Most people I know prior to download purchase from Amazon.  So that was 1 to 2 days anyway.  

Is that a setting?  That is what I used to do with my x360, but with my X1 I get home and it shows everythign I bought as 'ready to donwload' or something like that.  I want it to be done when I get home.

I dont recall changing a setting with regard to allow background downloads. I simply sign in to Xbox.Com from work, purchase the game and it downloads in the background.
