Can't update your Xbox One via Xbox LIVE? Microsoft suggests taking it to a friend's house

GameZone writes, "As we reported earlier, Microsoft has pulled the Xbox One's day-one update from its website, removing the option to manually install mandatory patch via USB. This means, to have a functional Xbox One at launch you must connect the console to the internet. It also means that those who can't connect their Xbox One to the internet are screwed -- even if they managed to download the manual update via PC before it was pulled. If you won't have internet connection available, Microsoft suggests taking your console to a friends house or something."

Well since Microsoft begun the "suggestions" conversation.

Some might "suggest" taking it back, and not buying Xbox.

They really gotta watch their language. Saying to customers that you "could do this" - as a consumer makes me wanna say "well, I also could, alternatively, NOT buy your product"

Why must they always make it seem it's 'their way or the highway'

kneon3802d ago

I just don't get it, it's like they are trying to lose as much market share as possible.

Kayant3802d ago

Oh my gosh.... Seriously how hard is it to provide alternatives such as USB or an ordered disc patch? I don't get it. This is utter BS.

Anon19743802d ago

Yeah, this is beyond me. I see no reason why in the months leading up to this they couldn't have just simply popped a disk in with the unit, or at least made them available to order..or shipped them to retailers. Something...

Khajiit863802d ago

That means Micro$oft has to spen some extra $$$

Belking3802d ago

Everyone knows xbox-one needs the internet for the update.

GarrusVakarian3802d ago (Edited 3802d ago )

Yeah, but why can't they make an update readily available to put on USB, or on a disc like Sony have. Why take the effort to actually take the update off the internet? Do they do this BS on purpose? Then their response is "take your X1 to a friends house".....

Belking defending MS without even reading the article. Smh.

Cueil3802d ago

that would mean you have the internet right?

Kryptix3802d ago

@Cueil

No, it would mean you can order the patch from Microsoft through a phone number. That or you can visit a restaurant or cafe with free wifi and get it from there using a cellphone or laptop. Many options, but since it's not possible to patch through USB/disc, you're going to be taking that big box to a friend's house to do it which you never know...might not have the time or room for it.

Khajiit863802d ago

@Kryptix

Think if Kinect was still mandatory for the system to work. Might need a couple trips to ur friends house with that gamecube the power cord has attached to it.

FITgamer3802d ago

Do you even read the articles? It's saying that people without internet connections who were planning on updating with USB can longer do that.

Majin-vegeta3802d ago

Why can't they offer a disk if people dont have internet??Like Sony.

Nujabes_3802d ago

I've seen this excuse a few times already. Who is going to buy the Xbox One if they don't have internet? 90% of the features of that console are usable only if you have internet.

Why spend so much on something you're never going to use to it's full extent? Genuinely curious here.

T23802d ago

@Nujabes - so would you agree then if features like TV don't work in your country then you shouldn't buy an xbox either? because the list of people NOT buying an xbox could get rather large....

brbobcat3802d ago

My favorite is that an Xbox Support representative didn't know how to use "there"

OC_MurphysLaw3802d ago

To be fair, I am not sure most on N4G do either.

BattleTorn3802d ago (Edited 3802d ago )

they're plenty of us that do! :P

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro6h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B4h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21834h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh4h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia3h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins4h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal3h ago

The first game was the best imo.

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho517h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise7h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel19896h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows906h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno5h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA5h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
