My in laws bought my children an Xb1 for Xmas and thus far I am completely unimpressed!

It requires an internet connection to play any game

You have to install every single game on the HD before you can play it (even games you have the disk for).... Then half of the time it just says that there was an error while installing the game and will not finish installing it no matter what you do.

I've been banging my head against the wall for 2 days now trying to get this pile of crap to work for my poor kids!

I'm extremely tempted to give it back to my in laws and tell them that they should get their money back!!!!!

Does everyone have this installation problem or did we just get a lemon?

Not only that, but when connected to the internet, there is a download before the actual installation to the HD, which makes it an even longer process. So really, I don't see your point here at all.

No, not you! You are very respectful. I'm sorry if my post came across that way. My initial post was more to say I think you have a bad Xbox. You should look into seeing if you can exchange it.

That doesn't sound right. Something may be wrong with it. I'd maybe try contacting support if you haven't smashed it to pieces already.

My issue was a bad WiFi connection... I went out and bought a WiFi extender and I haven't had any issues so far other then its taking F O R E V E R for all these games to install and update

Lol believe I came close... But I think I have the problem fixed now

But I still say it's idiotic to have to install the games before playing them

Makes sense. Glad you got that figured out then. :) Yeah unfortunately the process is pretty long, but for me, the exclusives make it worth it. Hope the kids enjoy it! Especially for all the trouble it's caused. Haha.

Sort of, at least to install the games. You can play them completely offline with Steam, though.

At least on the installing issues.

As for the installing to HD, it's because Blurays while delivering a huge amount of data storage, are STILL too slow to run and deliver all that data. So some games will install itself or at least sections of data the game needs to access quickly on to the much faster storage drives, and will oull the less frequently used data such as cinematics and general data off the disk. It allows the processor to sort of split the load on some games (such as GTA5 and MGS5 on 360) or simply run from the drive, in the case of current gen. The value of the disk is that you don't have to download 60+ gigs a game.
Does the PS4 also require the game to be installed on the HD? If so does it have the same installation issues?

The PS4 does also require you to install games, even the PS3 did after a certain point.

There's not usually any issues but there's been the odd situation once in a while. My cousin's copy of Second Son can't install completely while my copy of Bloodborne doesn't work on anyone's PS4 except mine.

So watch out with used games.

There's absolutely no reason to own an Xbox One as a PC gamer. Among other things, Microsoft games often work better on PC via the free Xbox App than they do on console.

Forza Horizon 3 has slow load times, low FPS, lag spikes and frame drops on console. On PC it runs at 95 FPS @ Ultra Settings with none of the frame drop issues and almost instant load times. Plus it installs faster and uses a smaller percentage of my available HDD space.

That would not really work. A game system is now adays $300-$500. And a good computer is like $1,000 or more.

I wouldn't say that all consoles are a waste of money. Consoles have their advantages over PC's such as:

1. Local multiplayer

My kids have their friends and cousins over pretty often and they like playing games with them. It's hard to do so on a PC. Yes PC's are starting to embrace local multiplayer. But it's rare to find 3D AAA titles that support this feature.

2. Controller support with every game

Again this is something that is becoming a bit more common place in the PC gaming world. But it's still nowhere near the norm with PC games. Also my 2 youngest children are both under 6 years old and like to play video games and a keyboard and mouse are hard things for young children to use and understand.

3. Consoles require very little space

I have a 3 bedroom house, and have 4 kids. The two oldest share a room and two youngest share a room. If I were to build each of them their own computers then each of them would need their own computer desks for their monitors and keyboard. Packing a kids room with 2 beds, 2 dressers, 2 toy boxes, and 2 computer desks would make things extremely cramped to say the least. One console in the living room for all to share is a much more simple solution.

4. Price

If I were to build each of my kids a low/mid level computer then I'd be looking at $400-600 each. That would make a grand total $1600-2400 for all kids to have a computer. When we are talking about that kind of money then a $300 console starts to sound like a damn good deal
