Have Microsoft fixed the install times on the XB1 or does it still take 5+ minutes to install a game before you can play?

Use to waiting less than a minute on the PS4.

Considering an XB1 for Sunset..

Does this actually bother anyone? a whole 5 minutes?

 

[cu3ed]

SO far ive put the disc in a walked off to do other things, I wouldn't sit watching the progress %.

 

[baldmonk]

i too have never been bothered by the install times

 

[ic1male]

5+ minutes is generous.

Destiny was ready to START within a minute and then it made you wait on another screen for it to install the full thing which takes like 30 minutes.

Lol. Well I always let the discs fully install before playing. Reminds me of the days of tape loading on my C64.

 

[Phate]

I normally shove the disc in and go and have a shower or similar.

the last update was excellent incorperating the media player which is very good

just a word of warning though when your signed in watching something it broadcasts it on your profile fully

so if your watching a special film eh cough cough with your lady friend then might be best to sign out first lol

Can be changed in privacy settings

Apparently they are working on reducing install times amongst other things

If i remember correctly they did something like this for the 360.

They are indeed, saw the podcast on IGN with the head if the xbox division and he mentioned this is something they are working on. Although don't expect it this side of christmas (or immediately after it) since it's the period where they sell the most so lots of xboxes are being hooked up for the first time and last thing they want is to push out a major update and messes everything up.

 

[Mull3t]

So I'm on the preview and have jut received another update for 270mb but nowhere on dashboard doe's it tell you what it does? Is they a way to find out?

 

[Sprungheels]

Just looking at the FIFA 15, Forza Horizon 2 and Evil Within bundle for £359.. very tempted even though I have a PS4.... hmmmmm

 

[Proc]

Just seen my code for the Evolve alpha has come through as well, taking an age to install. Been looking forward to this, hopefully it's as good as it looks.

 

[sparkymark75]

Read an article the other day where MS were basically saying the slow install time was due to the last minute changes that were made after the outcries from their initial plans. It's on "the list" to get resolved but they don't have an ETA.

 

[antijoke]

For anyone on the fence.....

deal

 

[Plainsong]

A TV? Sorry if I'm missing the point!

Ah I see - the offer is further down the page.

 

[Raymond Lin]
