The problem with an "only digital" future? Download limits in Canada, shitty Internet in the US.

I agree as someone in Canada who has a download limit of 120GB I almost reach it every month. Those will have to be expanded. Is the internet really shitty in the states....

I don't necessarily agree with that. This new system will be disc based. That means another 6-8 years before all digital future comes. At that point there will be differences in who has internet where and what speed is available to them, as well as the consistent use of it. This is...
