Downloadable content, answer to the AO conundrum?

With Xbox having Live and PS3 supposedly having a better online structure than the PS2, coupled with both consoles supporting hard drives, would it get around legal problems if AO content was provided as a download? Perhaps requiring age verification in someway, I'm not sure. Perhaps requiring a CC purchase. I guess if Hot Coffee would be worth $5 to you. :lol
The Mature rated game could be sold in stores and then the adult gamer can then obtain the AO material online if they so wanted to. This sounds like it might work since AO have such a hard time being sold in retail stores. This would also work for Teen rated games too, making them rated M after a content download.
Or would the ESRB still get their panties in a bunch? Crazy idea, I just thought about it.
 
Nope, politicians will attack it and parents will boycott a console just because it's hosting a rated AO game. It will never happen
 
Possibly if you release the whole game for download. But with downloads being made easier for children, I think its wouldn't make sense to do at the time.
