Damn... that's insane.

While I think ONLive is going to flop in the long term, I do think cloud stuff is going to be incorporated to fix a lot of these problems. If more companies learn to manage their game data like Blizzard it will be even less of a problem. You can download the WoW trial and it can load in the background. It will start by installing things you MUST have and continue loading as you play giving priority to things that are important to the location you are in.
You know, I actually did this when a friend of mine went back to WoW, he told me about the "up-to-level-20" demo, and I was actually pretty impressed with this (the game as well, I never got into WoW). I think maybe something like this along with an a la carte model could solve it. For example, you could choose which parts of the game (single player, co-op, multiplayer) to keep on the drive. I could see that helping the situation.

I'm with you in every way except that I don't think Assassin's Creed and iOS games are mutually exclusive. But currently the streaming and digtal pickings aren't enough for me either.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But with the way quality in gaming has gone this generation, I'm not so sure.
