Can't you just play games off the disk?
I used up 500 gigs a long time ago and have to delete old games when I install a new one.

Is that a fiber connection? They don't offer that where I live. I have the fastest ISP in the area and it's through Spectrum at 60mps. XB1 games usually take an hour or two to download.
yeah AT&T fiber for $70 a month. Google fiber came to town and everyone put down fiber everywhere.

Even if you have the discs you still have to down load the games on to your hard drive. If you install a game off of a disc all putting it in your machine does is prove you own the game. The technology these days surpassed reading games of of a disc.
Basically the system can transfer information faster when reading off of a hard drive vs reading it off a disc. The days of buying a game and popping it in and playing it right away are over. Physical or digital there is no way to get around install times anymore.

That’s a shame. No wonder why consoles with increased memory are so much more expensive.
How many games can a 500gb hard drive hold roughly?

The PS4 didn't support external drives at first, but I think they patched to where it can handle them now. You need to make sure you have a USB 3 hard drive enclosure though.
I have a 500GB XB1 and two 1 TB externals hooked up to it and I have 181 games installed 47 apps and 230 GB free. I bought a 1 TB hard drive from Best Buy for around $60 and and robbed the 1tb Hard Drive out of my laptop that died and just bought an enclosure.
On the XB1 each USB port can Handle up to a 3TB hard drive. I'm running 2.5 TB right now and it seems to be plenty. I would suggest just buying a 3TB drive and you won't ever have to worry about deleting anything. None of this would be an issue, but the games take forever to download these days, so it's nice to have the space.
Seems like since PS3 days, the games need to be installed on the harddrive and then update patches to be downloaded.Can't you just play games off the disk?
Hello all.
I’m really interested in playing Monster Hunter: World, Forza Horizon 3 and GTA5 but I don’t have the space or the money to buy a new PC, so I’m considering buying a console.
The last console I had was the XBOX360 which I threw away because after three years, the hardware started to malfunction. I then bought a PC in 2009, which was good for games like Left 4 Dead 2, GTA4 and Fallout 3, but today will be outdated.
