    Disc owners still have to download entire game?


    I have been hearing rumors that owners of the physical disc for GoW4 are still having to download the entire game plus the 11 gb update. Is this true? And if it is what is the purpose of having the disc.

    :)

    Digital and fisical copy of a game

    The install file is different from the marketplace file. So as caprica said, there would be no reason for you to install the game from the disc. You would still have to download the entire file.

    B4 on EA Access?

    Yes, the entire game is installed to the HDD, the only reason you have to have the disc in to play it is because the console has to verify that you own the game still.

    The game installs off the disc. You only have to download the 11GB day one update.

    Digital only console

    Since you still can buy "non-digital" consoles with disc drive, you can still get such a console if you want to keep your disc based games. The consoles with disc drive can also be used to download games digitally.

    As for getting a digital version for your disc purchase, that probably won't happen, as the publishers would face the problem of their game not selling anymore.

    Imagine a person buying the game on disc. Then telling Microsoft, they went digital, get the download version for free, and then sell the disc.

    The new disc owner tells Microsoft they went digital, gets the free download and sells the disc.

    Then the new disc owner tells Microsoft they went digital, gets the free download and sells the disc.

    Then the new disc owner tells Microsoft they went digital, gets the free download and sells the disc.

    Then the new disc owner tells Microsoft they went digital, gets the free download and sells the disc.

    etc...

    Eventually, the whole world owns the game digitally, but the game was really only sold once, causing a huge loss for the game's publisher.

    So if you still want to keep your discs, simply don't buy the all digital version of the Xbox One console.

    Games on Demand - Simple Question

    I've had this problem myself actually and unfortunately the game will still take a while to download. The file on the game disc isn't the entire game it consists of parts of the game in a zip file where as if you download the game from on demand you are
    downloading the entire game so yes it will take a while.
