30GB takes much much longer than 3.5hrs on a 6mb/s connection probably well over 6hrs and closer to 7hrs on a consistently maxed out bandwidth of 6mb/s DL speed so @ 3mb/s you would be looking @ the very leased depending on the steam sever 12hrs minimum DL time.
How do you figure that a slow connection of 3mb/s can attain a full 30GB of data in such a short time as you claim under 4hrs is preposterous. Oh and Megabits per second Mb/s stand for "BITS" not "BYTES"
Do note that I used 3MB/S.
Well "Mbps" or Mb/s "Bits" per second is the common way how people describe Internet connection speeds and the vast majority of people have in the range of 6 to 10 Mega "Bits" Per second internet DL speed whivh means a Max Payne 3 DL of at leased 10hr or more for most people http://www.speedtest.net/results.php?source=compare

Not doubting anyone's claimed Speeds just stating not everybody and most people DO NOT have a hot rod super connection speed which means DLing a 30GB game/file is a big deal.
At any rate MP3 will take an astronomical amount of bandwidth and time to DL for most people with an average Internet connection is all my point was and just because for you it might take 5hrs for most others it will take much much longer.+
We're getting vastly off-topic here, but to me, people normally discuss their overall connection rate in either bps or Bps. ISPs advertise in bps, and then attempt to confuse people less by stating how fast a song or video will download. When people normally talk about how fast they download something, that's usually in Bps. I've never had someone tell me, "I downloaded that file at 20Mbps!" No one thinks of files in bits but rather bytes. That's also mostly because almost all software talks about Bps. Although, I recall seeing "Cps" in the past, which based on a little Googling should stand for characters per second. Based on the ANSII standard, that would be the same as Bps (1 character = 1 byte).
I believe I capitalized the other abbreviations (S and H) to make them a bit more visible. Although, hours tends to be an odd one. As a software person, APIs tend to use 'h' and 'H' to refer to 12-hour and 24-hour (respectively) in time APIs.
You can see an example of that here:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
Although, in there 'S' is millisecond... that'd be one helluva Internet connection if I kept with that abbreviation.
Here's one that's current up to this minute actually Speedtest.net claims just over 10mbps BITS per second as a global average today.
Or you can just admit defeat like a man. At any rate MP3 is a huge DL by any terms you try and justify it for example many cut scenes ect so it will take the "Average" user with average non exorbitant Internet connection a long time to DL which sucks and why I am suggesting that MP3 is defiantly worth a Box copy purchase unless that is you are part of the very small percentile whom are in a privileged ownership of a Multi Mega "BYTE" per second connection speeds.
Sorry mate that message about "admiting defeat like a man" was not intended for you rather I made a mistake and posted you instead of "Aikouka" whom is where this debate was started from so my bad.
I hear you bro $60 for 10 to 12hrs of gameplay/Campaign is ridiculous to me as well for I can spend that same money on the likes of Guild Wars 2 and receive potentially 100s of hrs of solid Gameplay.
