until Comcast, AT&T, Verizon etc. start opening up the pipes more, then this is still just that....a pipe dream.

There is ALSO talk of distributing the data via BD-ROM, downloadable to their proprietary server that would be in-home.

There is also talk of distribution via Hard Disk.

This is at the moment a high end solution for sure, and as far as the actual downloadable content it is only for the select few that have an un-restricted pipe to handle it. For myself, I figured at my maximum bandwidth it would take around 7 to 8 hours to download a 50GB data file. So that really isn't the issue, not so much as bandwidth restrictions imposed by ISP's.

But, it is an exciting idea, for sure.
