  1. Marketplace games taking hours to download


    It took me 12 hours to download the Master Chief Collection, now taking just as long to download GTA 5. Have 60mbs internet speed, yet my current bandwidth readout on X1 is 60-100 kb/s?

    What gives?

    :)

  2. Bought Game

    I bought Gears of War 2 on the xbox game marketplace yesterday at 3pm and it seems to be taking forever to download. It is on 60% after 18 hours downloading... Does this seem reasonable for not?

  3. Downloaded Oblivion, says can't read the disc...?

    yep...first of all, the game is taking 3 hours to download? Really?? Secondly, it gets to the Bethesda Screen and then says to remove the disc (which doesn't exist, because it is a download from y'all's marketplace)...what? It makes no sense to me =)

    Marketplace games taking hours to download

    The marketplace is not known for its download speeds unless you have super fast internet. That is why you pre load pre release games if that is the route you are taking. I went digital with dragon age but it is already installed due to EA Access and bought
    a physical copy of GTA V.

    12 hours? You're Lucky. I think it took me 32 hours.
