iBuzz7S Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just like the PS4! Or vice versa. Whatever, it's good news. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-08-30-both-ps4-and-xbox-one-will-wake-to-remote-download-new-content I thought this was already known, but from what I can gather that was the background download function.

k2345 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Excellent news, there has been many a time where I have been at work and bought some DLC or a GoD title from xbox.com, only for me to get home and have to wait a while for it to download (especially with GoD).

Barad Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Brilliant. I'm always downloading shit, so now no time is ever lost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorpion XBA Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) This is awesome news. I'm forever learning about great deals at work and having to purchase them from xbox.com. With this new feature, I won't have to bug my wife to turn my Xbox on when I'm at work lol. Edited August 30, 2013 by Skorpion XBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xhunterrrr Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Everyone does know this means if you want to use this feature, your Xbox One has to ALWAYS be connected and is in a low-power state where it can be awoken by the XBL servers? And yet, people bitched about other things that required this... The world is a strange place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet, people bitched about other things that required this... The world is a strange place. Don't worry, I'm attentive enough to know. I won't be using this feature. If only for the power saving implications. Unless someone wants to drag the hard math in here because they know the exact energy consumption specs, I presume leaving the One in that hibernation state consumes about as much energy as my atom processor mining. The difference between the two is that the One won't be carrying it's weight on an electricity bill. Maybe worth it if you have a shitty DSL connection and don't care about the energy. As fiber becomes more of a thing for the most of you (you know, that whole "are you coming with me to the future" spiel), you'll flip on your Xbox, have everything downloaded before you've poured your first cup of coffee in the morning. OT: This will be great for day one digital releases for people who can't be home to start the download of a newly launched game...they can do it from anywhere You could kind of do that now with a 360 plugged into a smart UPS (360 has the ability to power itself back on after a "power failure", right?).

Mr Random Hero Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Guess this gives a reason to use the store on Xbox.com now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimzontearz Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Awesome news. I am often at work while the marketplace updates. Now I can make purchases at work and have them waiting for me already downloaded at home once I am back. Now if MS only explained digital purchases...

That said, a cool feature for convenience. Probably will hardly use it but good nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably will hardly use it but good nonetheless. I never said anything about optional versus mandatory. People appear to be blindly accepting this without wondering how it works. And it works exactly like everything people fought against. It just seems strange that people will accept this as awesome just because MS didn't publicly address how it works (needing to be always connected, always in a low-power state, AND the XBL servers have the ability to control your Xbox). I think it is a cool idea, but that doesn't mean I'll just gloss over how, exactly, it works. Personally, I'd rather have a system that has a mandatory check-in every 24 hours, but I don't know how comfortable I feel about the ability of the XBL servers to turn your system on and off. That is more than just passive collection of data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1SK3TS N GR4VY Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah this awesome news its like background downloads 2.0 xD I will most likely have this feature turned on, so that way I could download something from my phone and have it when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Elite Elite Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 So if I buy a DLC or game from Xbox.com, the One will turn on and start downloading right away? Sounds good. I wonder if this will work for digital pre-orders? Can I pre-order a game, go to sleep, and when the game releases at midnight on launch day, the One turns on to download my new game so it's ready to play when I wake up?

And that constant power needed sounds like a problem. This really isn't an issue for me because I download this way anyway. The only difference is now I don't have to manually turn on the console. And for the console to update automatically is a HUGE plus for me. I hate when I turn on my Xbox to play a game and I have to wait for a console update to finish before I can play.

I hate when I turn on my Xbox to play a game and I have to wait for a console update to finish before I can play. Same here, during the Beta for the dashboard there would be an update almost every time I turned my console on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direkin Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 heh...don't try to reason with the masses my friend, tis a waste of time Isn't that the truth? Think I'll add it to my sig. People appear to be blindly accepting this without wondering how it works. I see it's irony time again. And it works exactly like everything people fought against. You sound surprised. This isn't the first time a "feature" of XB1 has been readily accepted by people, even though the mechanics of that feature went dead against what some of those very people fought against.

InkedUp Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 This will be nice for when dlc drops while I'm at work, it can be ready to go when I get home instead of having to wait around for it to download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
