You’re probably either A). !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! me !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , or B). wondering, “Who the hell is this guy?”, but I must ask a couple more things from you.

My Forza 6 1TB bundle (along with a copy of Halo 5) will be delivered today so I’ll be setting it up this evening. Any advice on making the setup and download of games/patches go as smoothly and quickly as possible?

Also, feel free to leave your gamertag as I am new to the Xbox and have no (digital) friends.

once it arrives set it to update to get the new xbox experience or w/e the heck they’re calling it so you can then play some 360 games if you wish

You might figure out what you want to play first. Forza, Halo, or neither. First will be config, then system updates, then (I’d assume both are digital copies) your two games will need queueing up to download. Whichever is smaller first so you can play it first? Sometimes (at least with a game that requires HD install) you can start playing before its done. Less usual with the download games, I think.

If it all possible, wire your xbox to your internet at least until the updates are done.

Find a good book to read. You’re going to have to wait a while before you can actually play anything.

My advice, set everything up, use ethernet if possible. then use the keys to get your games in your library. choose both of them to install, and then go do something for the day.

I have 60mps cable internet and it took pretty much all day to download Forza 6 and Gears of War Ultimate Edition.

I play mostly Halo 5 and Destiny.

Forza 6 download takes for-ev-err.

That’s what I hear. It’d be nice if they’d have it preloaded on the console so all you’d have to do is download any updates. Oh well. I guess I’ll just let it run overnight.

I bought this guy a couple weeks ago. Hate to burst your bubble but Forza took six hours to download and install :( just plan on getting it setup tonight and playing tomorrow night...

Yeah, I’ve been doing a fair bit of research while I’ve been waiting for it to arrive, so I had a good idea of what to expect. Thankfully I have fairly vast cable internet so it shouldn’t take quite as long as it has for some other folks. Now would be a good time to upgrade the gigabit service our utility offers...

We currently have 50/25 cable, but I could have 1GB/500MB for another $90/month. Doubt my wife would go for that, though.

So do I get a Forza 6 XBone or a Fallout 4 XBone?

Same price and same hard drive size so I guess it comes down to whether you want a blue or black console. I’m planning on getting Fallout a bit later. Sounds like it has some bugs still.

It’s a Bethesda game. Of course it has bugs!
