Not all of us are fortunate enough to have good speeds or large download quotas. Living in Australia and my experiences in both a major city (Perth) and small country town, I can tell you the speeds have never been particularly good. I used to hate downloading regular patches because it was both a slow process and it ate the previous quota. This is part of the reasons why, where I can purchase a physical copy. Although, with the NBN and 100GB quota, I'm more comfortable with downloading games, patches and dlc as I can get them much quicker and do not feel as if I'm wasting hours away, waiting for a download.
Shame that Australia missed out on the deluxe edition in a physical format for pc, but oh well. I'm happy with getting the standard version of the game.
