And I've seen download speeds of 10 MB/s on my computer depending on the server I download from (not torrents). My point is, we have the capability to stream Blu-Ray and to distribute game files. Hard drive space is in abundance these days and is dirt cheap. So we just need the broadband companies to get their shit together (they won't).
That would kill the resale market. I'm pretty sure Gamestop would commit utter and complete war on the industry before they would let that happen.
