| kowenicki said: It will be patched.... obviously. But why do people store all their media content on their consoles anyway. My console will be for games and games only. 500GB its enough for games for a while to come and when external drives are enable then I MAY get a larger external drive. These things can stream content you know... it doesn't need to be stored on the thing. I have a 2TB media server for all other stuff, including photos, music and movies. |
But you got a very fast connection with decent ping. Last time I checked, my connection had ~14Mbps DL, 36ms ping BEST CASE, but ~8Mbps DL, 495ms ping in the worst case for ping and ~1.2Mbps DL, 45ms ping in the worst case for bandwidth (UL goes from ~0.5Mbps to ~1Mbps), so streaming HD content wouldn't be a comfortable option, storing and playing is the only option that will deliver quality. Except the worst cases, mine is a quite average connection in most zones, in France they get a little more for quite less money, but more than 20Mbps is still quite rare in Europe and in most other places, except where optical fibre is available (even in that case, base contracts won't us it at its full potential).
Anyhow, they said they'll add external storage support later and they'll do it, but it just looks funny it isn't there since the start in a box touted as console with a lot of other entertainment functions. It looks like somebody at MS is having fun causing embarrassment to PR guys.
