Aaah, so you have faster, but more limited internet? That's a tricky trade-off to make, I don't envy you!
Not sure why you're bringing up Peggle/Farmville though. You mentioned 30Gig downloads, I mentioned downloading 24Gig last week. I can't really see how tiny games come into this?
Yes, sorry: it appears that at some point I got turned about and thought we were talking about big as in popular. I blame Jim Beam.
For the next five years or so, BluRay is going to be the most effective way of games to the console mass market. I understand that you downloaded Dragon Age origins and it was 20 odd gig, but that isn't a feasible download for most people, both in terms of time and usage allowance. For most people it will be more convenient to go to the shops.
In 2009 360 sales stood at about 30 million units with 20 million Xbox Live members. A full third of users have never even bothered hooking their console up to the outside world.
And no I don't have fast broadband I have average broadband. I have what most people not living in major cities have. I have a decent download limit tho.
