Bit miffed

I don't know if Msoft has skipped ahead in the world about 10 years, when broadband is as cheap as an icecream, but, from my standpoint, this is plainly ridiculous. Compression technology has been around as long as the PC almost. I'm almost at the point
of getting rid of my XB1, so far, it's been 3 hours downloading an expensive update|! locking it down! Grrh

My guess is the games aren't finished yet, they're just rushing them , then the last 45 days or so ( they send it out to publish it) they finish it and that's your king size patch.

A 40gb download is just ridiculous.

Have they added external drives yet?

It could be that software developers are being put under so much pressure to release games quick, they just throw ' em out, and patch em up. Then we get the massive downloads. Following this principle, you would never except ordering an omelette and the
waiter bringing you a runny mess but says, hey its ok, just cook it for 5 minutes.

Forza 5 is also a whopping 40 gigs. I got it as a DLC card and have redeemed it but don't dare press on download and wont download as it would take a large portion of download. 16 gig updates are also insane. I hope not all games have updates that huge.
