Isn't the whole point of digital to be able to play any game on a whim easily without changing discs?
Either way both parties need to fix this if they plan on pushing digital.
Another example of why the system is rushed...
why? presumably they are taking the route of '500GB should be enough until we get the update needed ready' and push it out at a later date.
I'd assume this is sitting on a very boring project timetable as 'not launch sensitive' and got pushed on date due to that.
They've had to make drastic changes to their OS because of their DRM reversal.
It likely wasn't just "flipping a switch".

No it wasn't - MS had/has to implement physical copy protection for the game discs. I have a feeling they'll be paying the price for this in 6-12months when it comes to piracy - having to treat copy protection as an afterthought isn't a good place to be in...
because the team's working on other things

Definitely a worry about security. If the team is so uncertain about their own creation, WTF have they been doing for the last 12 months? Choosing tile border colors?

I don't really get this complaint. 500 GB are really fine for Xbox One and PS4. Even for digital games. Same with steam on my laptop. I have 3-4 games installed, i know i'm going to play. The rest is uninstalled.
Same with PS+ games on my PS3. Why do i need 30 games installed, some which i played a year ago the last time. If i think i'm going to play them again, i download them (50 mbit down, so that goes rather fast). Ok, i get why people with slow internet want everything on the HDD.
More space is better but 500 GB are a good size.
Or you know, maybe that 6 months behind schedule rumour is just true, and priority right now is getting something usable out there so that the few tier 1 countries left don't suddenly become tier 2, too.
But seriously, WTF have MS been doing last 2 years? They completely stopped supporting 360, so you expect them to be ready for a new console 2013 launch when they clearly are not. Maybe they were partying just like Nintendo?
Just delay the console to 2014 and rebrand/relaunch it, while you're at it, MS.
Fine for you doesnt mean fine for everyone. 500GB wasnt even enough for my ps3 with its occasional partial installs
Hardly matters. Just replace the HDD if you need more space. Not like it costs a lot.
Yeah, because I'm sure that we're all going to fill up ~420 GB on launch day.This is getting to be a bit ridiculous now.
Man, was planning to fill 1TB Xbox One will great amazing Day 1 titles.
...How could anyone fill up 500GBs on an Xbox within like 5 or 6 months of Launch.
They showed a ton of games at E3, so that's what their game developers have been working on.
hah so wii u can offer more storage than ps4 or xbone
Wii-U > PS4 > Xbox One
For a console that was designed around a digital future surely a HDD expansion method would have been ready at launch.
They need time to make it so only xbox branded overpriced external hdds work.

Most of them were originally 360 games, so it really doesn't disprove that rumour.
Isn't Forza shipping half finished with the other half of the game needing to be downloaded?They're ready with games for their new console. I don't see why that distinction matters.
The xbox one hdd cannot be replaced or upgraded.
Edit: Beaten multiple times. I really should read the whole thread before replying..

Of course it won't.
Nothing seems ready with this console.

I'll admit it, this got me good.Wii-U > PS4 > Xbox One
