| Signalstar said: I miss the days when you could just pop in a game and it would work automatically. The most convenient situation is if I have the game digitally, it is already on my drive, and there are no multi-GB updates needed before I could play. That is honestly so rare though. I share my PS4 with my bro and we have different tastes so we have to compromise which games are installed at any given time. I still have my launch day PS4 basic. We even upgraded the hard disk to 1TB. I know that is a pitiful amount nowadays but developers should go easy on the amount of data they use. Any suggestions? I will probably upgrade the disk again and I heard external drives are useful too. I might just buy a PS Now subscription and play through that library. |
Same boat as you. I don't play my console very often, maybe once every few months... But when I do fire it up, the last thing I want to worry about is yet another silly update.
But.. I do however turn my console on twice a month to grab the free Games with Gold... So when I do that, I check to see whether there are any updates for my 400~ game library on my Xbox One X.
Having 13~ Terabytes worth of drive space for my Xbox has allowed me to keep my entire library installed and updated thankfully, which removes allot of the inconvenience factor, it's still there... But significantly less.
Basically the only real answer to your question is... More disk space for more games to be installed and check for updates more frequently.

What about electricity?

One thing I like about the Xbox controllers is the ability to hot-swap batteries, always have a dozen or so charged AA's ready to swap over... And when those batteries eventually (Not a matter of if, but when) die, I can easily replace them without dissembling or replacing the entire controller, lithium cells are usually only good for about 1,000 cycles give or take.
