I have faster download speeds on my Xbox One X than I do on my PS4. It generally uses my full bandwidth to download around 3 MB/s. Shame all these games are hovering around 50-60 gigs a pop now but thats the breaks to get the high-res assets.

This was true for me for a brief period, I have a gigabit line and was getting 3-400 mbps (50 megabytes a second) while the PS4 seemed to be around 70-odd for the most part (8ish megabytes a second), but I think Sony upgraded whatever backend I connect to and downloads are a lot faster now.

Playstation install times always take forever for me since download speeds tend to cap out as 30mbp/s, whereas xbox downloads rarely drop below 140mbp/s and even gets up to 300 on a good day. I have never been able to find out why this is the case as sony says it's my isp throttling my bandwidth, and my isp says it's sony doing the throttling. Kinda annoying since review copies are all sent via download codes these days, the last physical review disc I ever got was Just cause 3 and that still took a good 40 minutes of installing to get off tutorial island.

It's likely Rackspace throttles PSN downloads.

People have been able to significantly boost them by running their PC as a proxy for the connection.

Since this is the shame thread I did the same, the cashiers comment was “oh no not again”, earlier in the day someone had come through with 3 carts of super cheap Halloween candy, which all had to be individually scanned.

Because giving Microsoft half a grand for unacceptability is what people like you do.

Seriously though, I don't know what you expected differently, these download sizes and install times have been a persistent thing that's only gotten worse and was specifically not being improved in any meaningful way with the Xbox One X.

If it helps almost all (there are a few exceptions of various capacities, and this doesn't apply to playing online) PS4 disc games are playable within less than a minute of inserting the disc for the first time, PS4 Pro included.

I know that. PS4/PS4 Pro has been my primary system this whole gen so that's part of the reason I'm so taken aback. I knew Xbox One was bad but I assumed things would be better with "the worlds most powerful console ever"

Disc is always way slower than me than installing full digital version, enough so that it's a big motivator to just go all digital.

That would be feasible if GCU and Amazon eidnt exist. gently caress paying full price for most games today.

For the record Xbox is way faster than PS4 in downloads. My problem is Xbox won't download some game updates in the background and every title update won't auto download. I go days without playing and come back to a title update that takes forever. On ps4 its already downloaded while in rest mode and is quick to install.

There's actually a well-known trick to disc installs on the Bone: Disconnect from the internet, install from the disc, get online, let it update. Somehow this way it's always faster than installing normally.

I guess it's trying to read the disc and download from the internet at the same time which somehow makes everything slow as poo poo.
