It offers sound that isn't compressed all to hell IIRC. The game is so big that it won't fit with the intended sound files on a cart, so they used compressed ones and let you make the choice whether to download.
Kyle that explains it, thx :)
This is a better solution than bringing a game out with compressed audio and forcing to listen to that (watching at you Xcom and RE: Revelation 2)
