You never know when Turn 10 will revive the Rewards programme, maybe you'll need to buy seven hundred cars when FM7 hits lol.

Funny you mention this, as it did cross my mind. lol
 
According to some people over at FM.Net, there games have been updating and the downloading is starting.

EDIT: Just uninstalled and reinstalled FM6, looks like its downloading now! Probably won't get in finished by the time the demo comes out!
 
Yep, I can confirm it's pre-loading. Sloooooooooowly. :lol:
 
Is the demo downloadable yet?

Nope. Probably won't come out for another 10ish hours, if not more. Unless Microsoft feel nice and release it a little earlier!
 
21% after two and a half hours. Plus the demo to download. Also MGS:V. RIP to my internet.

That's about my rate too: slightly over the hour mark, I'm at 11%. Gotta make sure the One doesn't shut off overnight, I guess. This is my first digital full game purchase, so I'm slightly paranoid, especially as it's going to eat up over 1/4 of my monthly bandwidth.
 
If it shuts down it will be fine when it kicks back on. I've been doing nothing but digital for PC for a long while and never had a problem. Same with the x box one.

It downloads while its turned off. Unless you hold the XB button or unplug the console.

Read elsewhere the Store doesn't usually update til' 5am EST.

Not sure why some people on the net thinks the demo automatically uploads as soon as their timezone hits 12am, though.

just goto SETTINGS >> POWER & StartUp >> Set power mode to INSTANT ON and check below the tick box that says AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOAD UPDATES & PURCHASES
then you can shut down the console and never bother again until its the 10th
(dont be afraid, all my games in this console are digital d/l)

ps
about the demo, it would be nice if it would unlock midnight like our retail preorders.
but its a demo and not a full game, so it can go up whenever
 
Yep, downloading now. So does it continue to download from where it left off once you turn the console back on again?
 
Looks like mine has downloaded overnight :D

I've got a blue star on the FM6 icon and there's a great big chunk of hdd space gone

No sign of any ongoing activity so I'm assuming it's all done and waiting to go :cool:

Yes, it will pick back up where it left off.
 
How do I tell if it has already downloaded?

I've not done bought digital before and nothing seems to have changed since I pre-ordered, but I don't really know.

Take note of how much space is open on your drive, if a bunch disappears it's done. Mine just started in the last hour, so when I went to mange game it was at 30% with a progress bar.
 
Yep, my progress bar is showing as 93%!

Thanks, it just started now.
 
Oh nice so the full game is also downloading today? I just set my X1 to "Auto on" before leaving work. Sounds like everything should be all done by tonight by the time I get home.
 
It's more than 44.3,I had 256gb left and now I'm at 210.5,but anyhow it's downloading now.:)
 
Uninstalled it and re-installed it just now and the pre-load has started for me, too.
 
So why has it gone back to showing 0GB even though it has eaten space on my hard drive since it took all day to download yesterday? What in the name of? #!;@ is going on??
