You can’t view or manage storage, a spectacularly poor decision given that the 500GB hard drive will be approaching capacity by March. 

Really I hate when you see criticisms of features that are coming, but just not needed yet. In software development you make compromises based on when functionality is required. For instance worked on a website that was annual subscription based. We didnt implement a way for someone to renew thier subscription when we launched the site.  Oh my god we will lose business because people wont be able to renew. No since it was annual we knew we had no reason to have a requirment completed for launch if it wasnt going to be used for most of the 1st year.

 

Was this your 2nd or 3rd website that your customers are transferring from?  The same customers that had this "annual renewal" subscriptions for the previous interations?  Was this... screw it, I can't even continue with your horrible analogy. The fact of the matter is, it's a feature that was included in X360 so people can manage their data and it's not there now. With a 500 gb HDD and the size of installation on both consoles it's a shitty design flaw not to include this at launch. With so many people mentioning it out of gate it is obviously "needed" now not later.

No it's not. Even if you bought every single game plus it's DLC, you would not use up all of your hard drive space. Not to mention you can very easily delete your games (your saves are saved in the cloud and can't be managed yet).

So no, it is not needed at all right now. They should definitely add total file management by the springtime though. People are mentioning it right out of the gate because it's a nice feature to have, and they want it added, not because they need it.
