Oh how gaming isn't what is used to be.

You say everytime you turn the console on it updates? Are you in the preview programme? Sounds like it because unless I'm the odd one out, I don't have to update my console every time I use it.

I'm not in the preview program either (you couldn't pay me to be in it) and I can't remember the last time I had to update the console. Don't know for sure if OP is in the PP or
not, but I feel no sympathy for those who sign up for it and then complain about the problems is causes.

I was playing video games when the only choice was to go to an arcade and pay a quarter for each game. I remember a lot of different things from 'back in the day'... and I'd much
rather be here than there (or then).

The only thing I miss is when buying a new game and being able to just insert the disc and play it straight away without any installing, updating and downloading any bonus DLC.

Updating a new game is annoying I'll admit, but at least it doesn't take long. I do not have my system set to instant on because i unplug it after each use. I do have a fair bit of updates, but I don't mind because I chose not to plug it in.

No your right gaming is much better nowadays, consoles in instant on mode, cant remember the last time I saw an update, I walk in say "Xbox on" then say "Xbox go to Metal Gear Solid" and im playing instantly with no load screens from exactly where I left
off before I said "Xbox go to Netflix" Its the future its superseded garlic bread....

Small tip,if. you don't want any updates,just unplug you console from internet.....Like "the. good old days"....No internet,no updates.
