My take on this is, people who would have downloaded, would download anyway. Those who wanted the CDs will most likely wait for boxes. Those who are impatient will download and buy Box Sets. I'd like to see in-store and on-net same day, but this time wont hurt them too much. At the rate people were attempting to download yesterday, some will just be finishing by the time the boxes are on the shelf.
