    Updates. There are FAR too many of them.


    How, and I repeat, HOW am I the only one complaining about this? There has been almost 20 gigs worth of updates these past few weeks. Every time I turn it on there seems to be a insanely
    [Mod Removed] large 2000mb+ update waiting on me. And I can never tell what the hell they are for. What do they add? And more importantly, why the hell are there so
    [Mod Removed]many of them? If I sound frustrated, it's because I am. I am seriously considering trading my XBone in. I do not have time to play games like I used to and every time I start up my XBone I am treated to that smug "It's time to
    update!" message. Well, I have a message for MS, "It's time for me to update to strictly Sony!" Seriously MS, please, PLEASE stop with the weekly updates. It's out of of hand and a waste of time and, more importantly, a waste of data. How in the holy hell
    anyone with a data cap could afford this system is beyond me. I would really love to know I'm not the only one extremely annoyed at this. But I can't find anyone else talking about it. At all. And it baffles me. It truly does.

  2. Microsoft please explain.

    "Exclusions apply" is in the fine print. There are quit a lot of exclusions, far too many to list on the back of a card.

    Link to them please. Why are there so many exclusions on what I can't spend my money on?

    Why Did They Add That? 10 Terrible Game Features

    The collectibles in Far Cry 3 wound me up. Sure they were rewarding but there were FAR too many of them.

    I would like to apologize on behalf of Microsoft(No I do not work for Microsoft/Xbox or any affiliated company) for trying to make the Xbox One's UI better and add things that arebeing requested. You are fully within your rights to be upset and switch to
    Sony. Dont come crying back here when you realize Sony takes their service offline for maintence, no added features and still missing things promised at their initial reveal.

    Xbox evolves, plain and simple. As the above poster said ^above^. The Xbox Team listens and implements wanted features. And improves upon the OS and UI. Personally I love it. And hope more keep coming. At no point in this generation do I want my system
    to grow stagnant.

    Sorry to hear about your data cap, i would be more frustrated with that than my Xbox becoming better.

    The more updates the better. If you don't like updates or don't want the system to get better, then you shouldn't own an X1. You should definitely get a PS4, because Sony rarely does updates, which is one of the reasons why my PS4 is back in the box. = )

    i think he's exaggerating. there haven't been any public updates in the frequency he's suggesting. game updates? maybe. but system updates ? no. at any rate, why not do Instant On mode so that it updates while you're away etc and you don't have to worry
    about 'em if there even are any.

    I ALWAYS appreciate updates. I hate companies that that do not offer updates ($@^^$ung) for their products...but some of the update file sizes are ridiculous. Especially the TUs. My X1 is pretty much full, and I only have 14 games, and some like Fighter
    Within, and Kinect Rivals that I have never even installed/played. It IS frustrating.

    I wish it was like the old days where the game would read from directly from the disc.

    The best for you is to unplung your console from internet.No more updates.....

    But after that,you might complain that you console doesn't get better over time....

    Hard choice,i know....

    If that's your reason to switch to ps4 you're going to be extremely disappointed they update more than MS does
