Bittorrent might be good for an initial distribution, but the problem 
we're focused on right now is auto-updating games that have already been 
distributed on DVD.  Typical updates change-sets are quite small 
compared with the size of the originally distributed package (ie: 10s of 
MB), so the bandwidth side of things isn't a huge concern.

Thanks,
