Wow, Xbox One. I have to say this might be the worst product I have purchased in a long time.

You do have to option to "go offline" and install the game , in fact they install much faster that way ...but you cant then go back online and play the multiplayer part of the game without the update ...

Bimnog, thank you for your positive outlook, however, you must not understand product development at all. Xbox automatically makes you sign up for online services . Once you are online and you install the game you are not able to go then off-line to Play
the game. I have uninstalled it multiple times and tried that workaround but it does not work. Also to make matters worse halo five finally gets done installing. My kids are all excited this morning. However, now we have to install an update. Once again taking
hours to install. When will it ever end. Perhaps when Microsoft realizes that they have a product problem Or enough people complain and they start losing money. As for me the Xbox goes back today.

 

Didn't work. Wants to delete and reload...all night downloading and now typical MS solution of delete and start over. Boxing this POS up and sending back to store. Not wasteing any more time on this, other than to find every site I can and warn folks
about this very expensive waste of time.

 

your free to "warn" people about YOUR experience but to be fair you should also tell them that you were the exception and certainly not the rule ...the VAST MAJORITY of new xbox owners (including my son and his second one for co-op) had little or no trouble
...ef everyone was a "POS" like you describe , then this forum would be locked up with thousands of users instead of just a small percentage of the few that did have problems ...you could also check out the support forums of another brand of console and see
almost identical thread after thread of issues..."finding every site I can " seems like even a greater waste of time imo...

 

also the NAT problems where is no solution...except maybe shotgun

 

Xbox dosent control nat , only tells you what yours is , only your isp or you modem/router determines nat...

 

I've had similar issues. Right now, it won't let me sign in. I've been trying for an hour. never had thes issues with the 360. I bought an Xbox one and 6 games 3 weeks ago. Might have been a mistake. I can probably return the console, but I've opened the
games, so....that money is gone.

 

i went my friend place and try it there but same think so it has to be xbox issue if 3 different net connection gives same problem no matter if its wireless or wired and also Update Failed 0x8b050066 what ever that means.....this is so fck up thing

 

The xbox one console is a gift for my son for Christmas. still has not played anything. worst experience ever!!!!!!!! wii was so easy to set up. i tried setting up an account over and over and over again. wouldn't work. XBOX One is very expensive and a HUGE
disappointment. Thanks for the tears of sadness and frustration Microsoft. I can't wait to give my business to anyone else.
