Before You Run Out and Buy That Xbox One X

[chknwing]

If you are thinking of buying it for yourself or for your kids, there is one thing to consider with this console.  The file sizes are huge.  Most games are around 100GB and I seen one as high as 178GB.  If you have a slow or capped internet provider, this is going to give you issues.

Consoles are great for children, anyone under the age of 20.

But they're even greater for your insecurities.

If you have a slow or capped internet provider and bought an Xbox One X, I'm gonna laugh everytime you bitch about those file sizes.

Some people don’t have good options where they live. My options are either unlimited complete poo internet or fiber with a 300gb cap. It’s not even a debate

Fiber with a data cap is like, the most oxymoron thing ever.

It’s with suddenlink I’ve only ever gotten close to it once, but it’s either them with a 85mbps/d and a 25mbps/u with a 300gb cap or century link which is 3mbps/d and .5/u with no cap

of those two options which would you choose??

I've got a 4TB hooked up to my OG XB1, and I run games off of it.  Everyone's getting that 4k sticker shock on the file sizes =)

Good heads up for folks though =)

That's understandable. Buying the One X with those limitations is not.
