Regardless, it still sounds like you need a pretty hefty internet connection to make it work.
Then again, I'm not privy to the specifics on the way the feature works exactly or how it runs a balancing act so you can play and download at the same time and in a timely matter. I still have my reservations about the “Play as you Download” feature – I understand it only gets the essential files so you can start playing, but if it's instantaneous then I imagine that everything will be low-res so it can just get the bare essentials and put players in the game, otherwise the download to do the “Play as you Download” would eat up all the bandwidth for the standard download. Some of the problems that have occurred have occurred on older machines, which of course when you go into the next-generation you at least get to reset and start again and everything’s the same age and new. The file version of the game versus the disc version of the game maybe needs to go through additional QA and additional testing. We’ve done a lot of work on pre-delivering files. However, Gara and the rest of the chaps and chapettes at SCE realize that most people aren't paying money out of every financial orifice they have for the fastest internet around, so for people not keen on spending a week looking at a progress bar slowly crawl across the screen like a snail trying to run the Two Oceans Marathon in Cape Town, South Africa, they have the new “Play as you Download” feature.
