From the Target thread, for those who might have missed it.

Some folks got the console early from Target and it turns out the update to make the console work is already up.

The update is already up for download?!

He told me update is 500MB.

 

[Dead Prince]

didn't they say it would take 15 minutes on a good connection?

EDIT: found it http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=688337

It would take less than 2 minutes on my connection?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

I could see 500 mbs taking a while on a congested service with millions trying to connect at once.

 

[Sydle]

Fine with that, will take less than 5 minutes on my connection.

I could see 500 mbs taking a while on a congested service with millions trying to connect at once.

But 300,000 servers!

 

[Y2Kev]

Yeah, they were conservative. No biggie.

 

[jond76]

Ever closer!!

When would there be millions connecting at once.

 

[CouldBeWorse]

Good. I was expecting worse.

It's crazy how much smaller these updates are compared to the Wii U, especially since they are pushing (apparently) much more contact out with them.

 

[fatgamecat]

Wait.. wasn't it supposed to be larger?

Well it's good the file isn't huge.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Not that big of a download at all. Good work MS

 

[GashPrex]

I wouldn't be surprised if there was another update that they'll publish before launch, I am sure they are still working

 

[BronsonLee]

Nice.

Surprised that it's already up too. I wonder if that means servers work?

IMPRESSIONS GO

 

[SEGAvangelist]

What happened to 1.5GB?

Glad it's not a doom patch.

I thought the same thing.

maybe means install aswell?

 

[Dead Prince]

that's quite a long time to install 500MB. ps3 wasn't that long no?

 

[RoboPlato]

Surprised at the size. Glad both Sony and MS know to keep the day 1 updates small. I bet game patches will be far larger than the firmware updates.

 

[The Flash]

This news also pleases me! It's been a good day for Xbox news I must say.

 

[Omni]

I thought it was supposed to be 2gb.

 

[TimeEffect]

Wow, people already going to be able to play on Xbox One? Are the servers up too then?

 

[EightBitNate]

*superclever720pjoke*

 

[Sojgat]

Cool. Hopefully that shouldn't take very long at all (hopefully).

 

[MaulerX]

Nice. Would literally take a couple minutes tops with my connection.

 

[The Flash]

*superclever720pjoke*

should have been 720MB lol

How's that?

 

[R3TRO]

What happened to 1.5GB?

I know lol man I swear...

 

[Wishmaster92]

Not bad.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

So did Nintendo win the day one file size patch contest with the Wii U? Wasn't it like a gig or so?

 

[Elija2]

So did Nintendo win the day one file size patch contest with the Wii U? Wasn't it like a gig or so?

Yeah, which is weird because the XBONE and PS4 patches seem like more substantial updates.

 

[dallow_bg]

Not bad.

 

[Ephemeris]

Pleasant surprise.

 

[EightBitNate]

Twenty fourth post nails it.

 

[jaypah]

That's not bad. So many people put so much stock into that 1.5GB size. Where did that even come from?

 

[SwiftDeath]

That's a much better size than I expected

Still going to be congestion problems at launch

Hopefully they allow downloading to a USB

 

[BraXzy]

Are we all late to the party and the butts of a cruel joke?

First, some people start to get Xbox One's delivered to them, now the day ONE patch is out...

Spoiler

I'm kidding.

 

[Heretic]

Hopefully they release the patch soon.

 

[Wickerbasket]

Next gen is almost here.

So close.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

What happened to 1.5GB?

Glad it's not a doom patch.

It was quite big in dev.

 

[The Flash]

Not bad.

Twenty fourth post nails it.

Yay! I made a successful Xbox One 720p joke!

Spoiler

lol

 

[mozfan12]

Not bad, but I can imagine it will be brutal on launch day. Hopefully their servers will handle the traffic.

 

[ClearData]

That Xbox that that one guy got early from Target has now went up in value many, many times now that this update is out. $$$ that someone is going to drop to have a two week head start with the UI and media stuff. Probably no games though...

 

[Whipped Spartan]

Sure it will be fine Ms did good with system update sizes and DL on x360.

 

[OryoN]

I remember it being like 5 GB. Hope I'm not tripping. I have no idea why Wii U's patch was so bloated(no wonder the OS is still kinda slow), or why XB1's relatively small(well, this is MS's forte, afterall). Surely, vastly different approaches in play here.

 

[BoboBrazil]

This is not the actual day 1 update.

 

[shem935]

Could this just be another developer update? Like the actual update will come later? Cause 500 mb is not bad at all. What was ps4's? I think around the same size.

Nevermind disregard I am dumb. Thats not a debug lol.

 

[Biker19]

Wow, people already going to be able to play on Xbox One? Are the servers up too then?

There's no new news about either of them.

 

[fatgamecat]

Well it is possible this is a pre-release dev update that doesn't have all the stuff the "real" day one patch will. Who knows?

Lucky guy either way.

 

[reddmyst]

Good thing they didn't get banned (maybe).

 

[a916]

There's not going to be millions of XB1 installing the update at the same time. They will be staggered depending on what time zone you are in.

And if I HAD to trust anyone's servers to not crash, it would have be MS. 500mb normally takes a few minutes for me.

 

[Papercuts]

He just said it took him about 2 minutes to do. Not bad at all, though launch day likely won't be as smooth sailing.
