If you can download your game anytime, anywhere, and you can play it while downloading, would that not mean smaller drive?

Only if you wanted to play games offline, and several games, would it cause issue.

But I am a simple soul, if it plays, I am happy

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Right you play while it downloads, but the data has to be stored somewhere. You don't stream the entire game.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I don't have an issue with the size. If I run out of room, I can either use an external USB3 HDD or I can just delete stuff I don't play anymore... Anything you have downloaded can always be re-downloaded for free later on, anything you have installed can always be re-installed later on.

The deleting was what i meant.

It would be an issue if you were using the storage and never deleting

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Oh wow 53mhz! that's really going to make a difference.

I have not bothered overclocking the gpu's in my pc apart from when I run a benchmark since, overvolting and overclocking gpu's will reduce the lifespan quite allot.

My 680's when I first got them would do +200 on the core and +400 on the ram, now after they have been overclocked and benchmarked around 5 times they will no longer do more than +100/+300, and that is 5 times at around 1 hour's worth of 100% load.

I can see this leading to another RROD issue.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Headset now included, please continue to have an uproar over anything MS does so we may get a console worthy of it's price.
