The additional content of day-one is already available in pre-load

The full update of Halo: The Master Chief Collection per day one mainly containing the huge multiplayer game industry, is already available in pre-load. Great news for all those who purchase the game will meet next Tuesday to download on the 20 GB console as well as the additional title. The decision to bring forward the download has been taken to avoid problems with server overload.

:-)

Well, I'm glad they figured out the obvious.

So it's 20gb more plus the 10gb update you'll get day one....

I think the 20GB IS the day one patch.

Also, have you tried hooking up multiple externals? I envision having them labeled like 2013-2014,2015, 2016.

I have, I have one for each console, Living Room, Bedroom, Basement, and did all downloads on a single unit, then copied between. Makes it quicker than downloading multiple times, or installing from disc multiple times. They come up as Internal, Living_Room and whichever other I have connected. But, I am still under 15% on one, and that is with quite a few on there, so, you will likely get more than one year per drive (and 2 drives is the max connected at a time)

Is the port on the side USB 3.0?
Do I need to print out today's price for Amazon or will they just pull it up there?

Thanks in advance!

Side port I use for controller charging and portal of power, seriously don't remember if I have ever connected a USB drive to it.

I always just pull the ad up at the store on my phone. Honestly, I have even just done a screen shot, and showed them that, but, most of the time now, as I tell them "Amazon has it for XXX" they just type in the price I tell them. I would have the Amazon page loaded and waiting, just in case. My Best Buy knows me, so, my results may be different.

Futiles, I bought that drive and I love it. TONS of space, even after installing over 50 games I'm only at 12.2% full. Best $150 spent (at Best Buy btw).
