new to Xbox

ok, so ill start by saying I am BRAND NEW to Xbox. I started with a PS2, then moved to PS3.....then I finally made the jump and got an XBOX One today. obviously I have some questions..... my main question is when I put a disc in the console, why do I
have to install/update each time? compared to PS3 where I just inserted the disc and started the game....am I doing something wrong?

:)

Original xbox's will no longer connect to LIVE so you will need a 360..

[quote user="ReverentMender4"]1) Can I attach any external USB hard-disk and increase the memory for game saves , media library and downloads ?[/quote]You can configure up to 16GB of a USB-attached device for use with the 360 as trusted, writable storage
for game saves and Marketplace content. The rest would be usable to store your own videos for playback on the 360.



If you're interested in storing a lot of content from the Marketplace, it's best to pick up a 250GB or 320GB 360 S accessory drive. It fits inside the console behind a trap door on the bottom/right of the console. It's also best to install games to that
HDD before playing.

An iPod Classic or an iPod Touch?



The iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad do not work with the 360.

Depending on how good the signal is, it's entirely possible for buffering to be taking place, especially if the router is being used with other devices.

 

You're not doing anything wrong. Every disc will automatically install when you first insert the disc. It's to help run the games faster/smoother when you're actually playing them.

 

Once its installed it shouldn't be asking to install the next time you insert the disk.

Re the updates, if a new games then you might find a few updates will be released.
