Well, I can tell you from my experience using AT&T at home that there is no such thing as instant gratification with digital downloads of large games. ;) If I start something in the morning it will probably be done by the time I get back from the office. Even if I buy a box set these days it's more likely just a serial number carrier than not, which is a waste of time for side trip to a store through rush hour traffic on the way home. ~Seth
