For films people use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon and maybe µTorrent. The Blu-Ray is not the future!
For music people use iTunes, Spotify. The CD is not the future!
For messaging people use Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. Letters are not the future!
For casual gaming people use Smartphones, iPads with downloadable content. DVDs are not the future!
For "real" gaming the high-tech core gamers use .....
.....Steam, GOG. Blu-ray is not the future!
For console gaming......
.....Blu-ray IS the future?

I dunno about whatever formats you talking about but... is broadband the future? I can't even get a decent 2 mbs connection at this point. Donwloading an indie games SUCKS at this point, lets not mention a real game with 6-36 GB of assets. Gaming, real gaming, is still absolutely dependant on physical gaming.

I am no longer in your position, slow connection, but I have been there. If you interest is big enough time - wating for the dowload to complete - is of no big deal. I have dowloaded things during night or other period away from home. That you will have a hard time playing online is another problem that is hard to solve. For places whitout broadband or weak broadband MS, Sony & Nintendo should provide with some retail solutions with for example USB-memory transferable purchases. Something like WiiConnect24 or SpotPass maybe also could be used for slow connections.
