The bundle is a digital copy. I can play some of it, but it needs to download and install. It's been doing that for a solid 8 hours and I'm at 82%

[Dan]

Oh downloading. What download speed do you get? I download about 8/9mb per second so it downloaded pretty fast, think it took about 45 minutes to download (it's about 26gb I think).

Speeds might be a little shitty right now as CoD is releasing around the world in some staggered rollout thing.

That is a LONG install.

[Maxx]

Yeah I have no idea what the problem is, I've got Fios which is usually super speedy

[zero]

Same problem. The download was quick, the install is at about 30% and I started it about 4 hours ago.

I was able to play Murdered Soul Suspect pretty quick though, so chalk up another win for physical media!

Tell us your thoughts on that one. I'm looking at it when I grab a ps4. I know from reviews it's not stellar but I am keen to know your impressions.

[zero]

First impressions are good. I've only played an hour or so, but the older I get, this is the kind of game I want to play. It's experimental, imaginative, and not the typical "game," if that makes sense.

Probably not worthy of a full price purchase though. I'll elaborate the more I play.

I fully understand your feelings

I felt the same for heavy rain

I wanted emotional immersion, didn't care if quick time events are what got me there.

[Dan]

Holy shit!

I'll explain it quickly:

Microsoft ran an ARG (Augmented Reality Game) for Sunset Overdrive. It started with an ad that had morse code in it which when converted sent me to a website. Then it was a series of websites that linked together which gave me codes which I entered into the final website.

Pretty awesome - now I have to figure out where on earth I'm going to put a sarcophagus >_>

Can I have the console bundle? I'll be your best friend.

[Dan]

Just wire over £350 and it's all yours!

In seriousness, I'm keeping it and giving my current Xbox to my girlfriend

I imagine it's the sexy white one, so welcome to the hotness.

[Dan]

I really hope so, that white controller looks beautiful.

Dan didn't really win a prize, that's just his bonus from MS for all the shilling he's been doing.

[probablyoliver]

Pfft, what's your girlfriend done for you that I havent?

[King Ellis]

I bet Dan's girlfriend isn't dirty enough to do half the things listed in Ollie's 'About Me' section.

Grats on the win, Dan!

It really is.

Disconnect from the net before you install a game. For some reason the Xbox tends to try and install and download updates at the same time and gets bogged down.

Good advice
