I found someone who tested it while reading the comments on other sites:

Note: While it says "Processing Large File" You can disconnect from your internet again to test it, I did (Downloading part finishes pretty fast for apparent 10 GB).
After the install and patches, my playable game size was only 2.71 GB:

Maybe it's smaller because it's only Limited Edition? I don't know, all I know is that according to my experience it installs the full game from the disc."

Ok...

 

I have DSL at 3MBs and I downloaded the game in just under an hour.

DSL 10mbit, downloaded in 37mins...

 

Where the logic behind this went, I have no idea... Since 10gb of data on such a connection should take about 133mins...
