    I only have 9 Xbox 1 games (NFS Rivals/Forza/Kinect Sports Rivals/Zoo Tycoon/COD/BF4/Watch Dogs/Titanfall/Powerstar Golf), IE, Skype, and Youtube, and only have 43% left free.

    It's true games can be much bigger on Xbox 1 to support the higher resolution and more content and since game devs are no longer restricted to putting games onto limited DVD discs (like they do on 360) but Blu-ray which can easily support games which are
    40GB+ big. It's also only a 5400rpm HDD and non-removable. Sometimes peps have issues with the system and something about having to do a hard boot to clear the "cache". It's a good idea to get an external HDD one which is probably better than the console's
    HDD.

    It also gives choice to users what hard drive size they want, as you just get an external drive of your choice. The system will run faster also if you keep apps on the internal and games external.

    One runs on the sata bus and the other on the usb, so snap and app loading like party chat and game at the same time will be faster.

    Why Does The One Only Have A 350GB Hard Drive?

    Battlefield 4: 35

    COD: 41.1

    Child of Light: 2.3

    Crimson Dragon: 6.8

    Dead Rising: 24.7

    Fifa: 9.5

    Forza 36.5

    Killer Instinct: 4.7

    Lego Marvel: 6.3

    Metal Gear: 4.5

    Need Speed: 16.5

    Plants vs Zombies: 12.6

    Peggle : 2

    Ryse: Son of Rome: 34.5

    Strike Suit Zero: 1.8

    Spider-Man 2: 9.8

    Titanfall: 16.9

    Trials: 4.9

    Wolfenstein: 44.5

    Zoo Tycoon: 2.6

    That's a total of 317.5GB taken up with games.

    But... It says that only 25GB are left.

    That means that my
    total disc space for games is not 500GB... Not 400GB... but
    342.5GB.

    I'm not sure what's more dissapointing.

    That MS decided to jump into the next gen releasing a product with limited storage or that so many people on these boards are falling over themselves in a rush to pretend it's "OK".

    "Pretend it's OK" ..

    Like I just said in another thread, I haven't got anywhere near running out of space. I never play too many games at once, if needed I just delete a game I'm not playing, if I want to go back to it at a later date I'll just download/re-install again, perfectly
    ok for me even though I do appreciate that for those who haven't got the fastest broadband speeds, downloading digital titles could be a pain.

    But for those that don't like deleting to make room, lets be honest, a few of them even if the XB1 was released with 1 TB of space would in 6 months - 1 year from now when their game library is even bigger would be more or less saying the same then.

    You really are a 'technoweenie' - You NEVER get full storage space on a device as advertised...

    They designed it knowing external storage would be a future option so why worry about it? If you can afford a £500 console, followed by all the games you have paid to download shows you can afford to buy an external drive.

    Come on this should be nothing new. the xbox 360 comes with 4 gigs and you can hardly install 1 game if any on that. But microsoft was generous this year and gave us a 500GB. you should be grateful that you can install or download 10+ games.

    [quote user="Azrael008uk"]That means that my total disc space for games is not 500GB... Not 400GB... but 342.5GB.[/quote]It's 364.85GB in the units that MS uses to display HDD space.

    iFixit has the base 10 listing of disk space allocated to each partition on the Xbox One HDD
    (Step 15). Multiply the numbers provided by 0.931 to get the disk space reported by Xbox One. That covers the 10^9 to 2^30 conversion.
    It's only limited if you want to have all your games installed at all times.
    Versus what, having a 1TB HDD and a $50 increase in console price?

    I much prefer to bring my own SSD storage than be saddled with a HDD I won't use. I fully intend to move all my games to external storage, leaving the internal drive as nothing but an OS disk. Is there a reason I should subsidize
    your desire for more internal space?

  9. Could they not make it so you can play the game from the disc, without installing it .?.

    So if you got an invite to play .... Bf4 , but you had deleted it, to make room , you could just bang in the disc and play.

    I don't suppose everyone wants to pay £xx for an external drive , I know I don't .

    [quote user="PAINT MACHINE"]Could they not make it so you can play the game from the disc, without installing it .?.[/quote]No. Optical drives aren't designed to be abused in that fashion.

    After RRoD, optical drive failure was the next biggest problem with the 360. No other consumer electronics device was ever designed to handle operating an optical drive at 12x DVD read speed for hours on end. There's a reason for that - it destroys the drive.

    I have to agree you can't call it a 350g hdd. It s 500g. All devices list the hdd space before the os is taken off.
