Not yet. I can't download 20GB games, so 24h demos, MS bundles with digital vouchers and 15GB day 1 patches all do nothing to win me back.

I'm waiting for a store bundle with a physical copy included, 399,- with 1TB drive means sold.
A fix for the gamma shift would be nice too, but I can adjust my set for that as I did for the 360.

MS is on the right track, however still ignores people with crappy internet.

Considering that most of the consumer base that would be interested in buying a new console has decent internet, you can't expect MS to lower profit margins for almost no gain by bundling in physical software. Look, I sympathise with you, but blaming MS is not right, especially when Sony and Nintendo have both done it this gen. There is a big chance digital is the future, so at this point console manufacturers will do everything they can to promote digital media.


I'm not sure that's the case actually. I know at least in the UK, there are lots of places where the best internet connection you can get is a few meg. Until 2 weeks ago I was stuck on 5mb. It's now 36mb, but I don't think I'd have liked the prospect of such big day 1 updates before I could play my game. Heck a lot of people have 20gb monthly caps from ISPs here too.
