On topic: There's no way in hell I'm waiting for a 50+ gig game to download off my slow ass internet. The installs are bad enough, but waiting for that kind of a size to download is BS in any case. Unless wireless providers all of a sudden found a way to allow for ridiculous download speeds, no tank you, please come again.

Lol... these kinda comments. Two questions.

 

1. 5 years ago how long did it take you to download 1GB of data?
2. 5 years ago what was the average HDD size?

Point is, these things change. Tech gets better and cheaper. If tehre is a growing need for digital content, trust me network providers will step their game up. Just like they have been doing so far. Some countries are slower than others, but most are right on point.

Besides, the way these games are made these days (at least with eth PS4), you don't even have to download the entire game before its avialable to start playing.

 

5 years ago it took me about....let's see carry the two and...5 YEARS! :D

Actually I never downloaded anything off a wireless connection 5 years ago that was even close to 1gig.  Now it takes roughly about an hour I think for me per gig, although I may be underestimating it.

It took me about 3 days of several long stretches of download time to download the digital version of COD: Body Odor.  18 gigs I believe.
