Looks that way. You pay pretty much if not full retail price for a game to be delivered digitally and it takes so long to download, even over 'superfast' broadband, that it would've been faster for me to walk from deep in the 'burbs, literally right on the edge of Leeds to the city centre and buy it then walk back than to purchase it directly from Sony and give them a whole bunch of profit.

I purchased a game that quoted a ~6GB download before being playable at 8pm and 4 hours later it was still not even half done. Abysmal. If they can't handle delivering their own content there are a whole bunch of companies, Akamai, Limelight, etc, who can.
