You cant download and play at the same time. Downloads dont take 3 hours and to play xbox games there usually a update

1) Yes, from my experience the download will still progress when playing single player games. Once you start to go online you get a message saying "download stopped for ____" but once you stop playing online, it continues from the same spot.
2) No, depending on your connection, a 600 mb should take like 30 minutes average.
3) Once you put the game in it will automatically download an update that lets you play it.

You can play singleplayer games while downloading.

Depends on your connection, mine is about equal to my PC in terms of downloading.

You can play games (only single-player) and download, but once you do go into online multiplayer it will pause untill you get off it.

My downloads take about that long and that is because my internet sucks. Oh yes i can host plenty of games without lag, but once i start downloading it falls to crap and my PC downloads about 200 mb in about an hour (i know because i downloaded a 400 mb MMO that took 2 hours). So for some it doesn take long and for others it takes no time at all.

Once you start the game, if the game is B/C, it will update it and then will be playable (if the game has an update).
