I didn't read all the answers so maybe these have been answered, but my understanding of game updates is that they are patches that fix/add to the respective game, some of them being mandatory, especially for network play. So my questions are: are there no patches/game updates on the Xbox or Wii/WiiU? And if there are, are the updates smaller on the Xbox than on the PS3 for the same multiplat game that is bought 3 years after it's release? Does a freshly bought fortza 4 not require a hefty software update for it to work/or to work online?

The only thing that takes up some time is installing the cars on the second disc (still takes less time then downloading and installing all the updates on GT5) but that is not manditory since you can play the game without doing it.  You can even buy the game without the second disk (esential edition) but if you are a car guy that version is BS since it comes with almost 200 less cars and if you buy them online down the road it going to cost you a lot more then buying the two disc version from the begining.
