Or, should I download a massive file that may add cost to me to do so and wait for a few hours and on top of that pay double.

Not like I am pulling this out of my ass, in the article they clearly state they want to some day in the near future go 100% digital that means all games. Because 100% digital means they still sell hard copies.
