I wonder when console makers are going to allow us to download day one patches before day one. I mean, we can select what games we're getting so we can start downloading ahead of time.

Anyhow, I live in a rural area, and I actually have pretty fast internet. So I guess I'm lucky. there are fast internet options for some rural areas which don't have land service. Not sure how that applies outside the US, or how much it would cost. But I know that not everyone wants to pay more for high speed internet, so some have very basic service, which could take a while to download large files.

Think it depends on the game. For something like Horizon, I wouldn't. I'll just restart the game once the download is finished.

Yeah, been wondering that myself. You can now download DLC for instance when you don't have the game installed and the download queue just says it's been downloaded and waiting to be installed. Why not add the possibility to select game patches to download even when it's not installed yet...
