With my Shaw connection, it takes me about 10 minutes (on a slow day) to download a 1.2GB game demo. So... maybe 30 minutes tops for a full game.
Also of note, they store a history of your purchases. It's set up so you're free to delete any game you buy, since you will be able to re-download it free of charge. I guess that's their response to the small drives. If you run out of space, just delete a game you no longer play. You can download it again another time and all your saves and achievements will still be intact (provided you don't delete them too - and there's never a reason to).
