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

     

    "Incorrect size before uninstall: http://s24.postimage.org/4hyo4oyo5/Capture1.jpg

    Mounting:

    Contents of Image & Sizes:

    Step 1: Install Origin & let it update

    Step 2: Login while online to verify

    Step 3: CLOSE ORIGIN, THEN RUN AUTORUN FROM IMAGE AGAIN, IT WILL SAY INSTALL.

    Step 4: After Install Starts, go ahead and disconnect Internet (I just turned off my wifi)

    Step 5: Let it finish, if it goes back to 25% LET IT FINISH

    Step 6. After complete close Origin and reconnect Internet. Go to start it and let it get it's patches.

    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...

    If you expect a fast reply from me, please quote me.

    - "Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead … Only try to realize the truth.

       Neo: What truth?
       Boy: »There is no spoon.
       Neo: »There is no spoon?

       Boy: »Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself."
