This is already very normal (tens of millions of people doing this). World of Warcraft, RIFT, and Star Wars: The Old Republic, etc. are all around 20G of downloads. Sure they have boxed versions, but after you install them they need another 10G of patches to download (looking at you, Blizzard). The majority of players buy the digital download (instant gratification).
Well, I can tell you from my experience using AT&T at home that there is no such thing as instant gratification with digital downloads of large games. ;) If I start something in the morning it will probably be done by the time I get back from the office. Even if I buy a box set these days it's more likely just a serial number carrier than not, which is a waste of time for side trip to a store through rush hour traffic on the way home. ~Seth
