Is bandwidth not a concern? 65 GB could take weeks to download.

It could. But then where do you set the limit? At my parents house downloading 5GB of data would take a week. So what is the "reasonable" size? 1GB? 10GB? 50GB? Or maybe we can assume that only people with good enough bandwidth will buy a 65GB game online,and the rest will buy the disc?

It's possible for it to download compressed data and 323 used uncompressed textures/meshes/sounds/etc.

If someone lives behind a 1 Mbps home connetion, then yes, about 1 week.
