I nearly out of space already. Its time to start deleting which is way too early for that. Once deleted I doubt I will ever download same game again even if its free to do so.

Hellfire has a point. The only reason Titanfall is so cheap as a download from that third party store is because they've broken up console bundles. That's why the only games they offer as downloads are Titanfall and FIFA 14 and the latter is out of stock.
If third party stores were selling download codes for all of the games, it would be fine, but the majority of the downloadable games are only available from Xbox Live where the publishers seem to want to charge £55 for some titles.

Infrastructures aren't there because it makes sense. What actually makes sense exists in a different world. Everything is fueled by money, to either save it or make it. When the big corps get hold of the internet (already in the works), you'll have the privilege
of forking out more dough if you want your speeds to increase.

^Wait. You are saying now I can increase my speeds for free?

These games are already 'heavily compressed', for example Titanfall has a full 20GB of audio compressed (the download totals just over 20GB). Fact is this is the size of modern games (10-50GB).

I understand the annoyance this causes (I had to wait 8 hours for BF4 to download on Day one), although there are possible workarounds - if they allow us to pre-download digital games a few days before release to be ready to play.

Digital is too expensive, makes no sense, e.g. TitanFall is always £50 digitally and can be found at £35 for a retail disc.

Also I know this may sound lazy, but it is so awesome flicking between games without moving from your seat.

If you are unable to get a faster speed, that is one thing. But if you are sitting there with nex-gen hardware, expecting magical next generation games and are only paying for tier 1 internet speeds, well that is a different matter. Anti-up and get something
better...

Now that being said... yeah, it is a slow process but as Tzar said... purchase game and start to install/dl it and go do something else... like play another game or go to sleep..

I have read you can dos connect from the net while you install disc as it will go much faster... not sure of works.. as I went digital..

I get about 10 Gb downloaded every 10 minutes to so...and I do it off of a wireless connection..

It doesn't bother me ,games are available at midnight.I start to download,go to bed,go to work and when i got back everything is downloaded....

So far,most of games are around 20GB which isn't "that big",just few hours to dowload.

My only game on disc is Forza 5 ,all the rest are digital and got no issues.
