Xbox – Account and downloading help

The Playstation 4 does not need an internet connection, however the day 1 patch does enable a wide variety of features. If all you want it for is to play games though, it should work entirely internet free I'm fairly sure

Games should come with the system update version they require to play, if any, a la the PS3 I believe, but I haven't encountered this yet since the PS4 updates it self...on the internet, anyway. You should also note a few games require day one patches either for stability or performance tweaks which could be a deal breaker. A couple games require patches for higher resolution, and BF4 at the least requires quite a few patches (but it's not much of an offline game anyway).

The Xbox One needs a patch to be used offline and will be basically dead with no connection or patch of any sort. Again, not sure if you can update the system's OS using game disks like you could with PS3, if someone knows whether you can that'd be great to know. Day one patches are at least as much of an issue on Xbox One though, for example I think Forza adds a notable amount of content with a patch including, I believe, the ability to finish career mode.

While rather confusing and somewhat embarrassing of a fix - its mainly because I have not enough friends. Well, not enough friends with a One who are also actively uploading things.

I went through so much debugging with Xbox Twitter support, checking my profile, etc. Well, then to try something I followed Major Nelson, and it started working! But only for him. I then found a friend who had last updated a video, but that had been a few weeks ago.

This feature is very time dependent. So, instead of being my friends uploads, its more so their 'recent' uploads, and by recent does not mean their last, but recent in time, like a week or so.

Now that Titanfall is out a friend has been uploading some videos and it works as it should.
