Pre Loading
So on PC i have seen that steam lets you pre install games sometimes and you just have to do the day 1 patch to play the game when it unlocks. I have not heard if this is a thing on Xbox because i've...

"Preload is now available on all platforms! For Xbox players, Smart Delivery allows for a smaller preload, with ME2 & ME3 able to be downloaded from the launcher at release. #MassEffect"
I think Bioware don´t know what Preload means..
Yes.. Smart Delivery is fine. But I want make the decision if i download the whole Game or not. Preload means that i can download the whole Game, Mass Effect 1-3, before it is released.
Now i am forced to wait until Release that i can download the rest. That makes no sense.
It is not so bad for me personally but it is not a full Preload like on PC.. PS..
It is a Joke which i dont understand.
I'm puzzled.
Won't people want to play Mass Effect first?
The rest of the games will easily download by the time you leave the Citadel. 🙂
You underestimate how terrible my internet is. If I really wanted to I could probably finish ME1 faster than I could download 60GB.
15Mb/s is the best I can get in my area and I know there are others who have it worse.
With that said, I plan to do a thorough run of ME1 so I'll be fine.
- @SofaJockeyUK YOu say that, but, the game has a day 1 patch of a decent size, which will need to be downloaded before play, but, that means you will need to downloaded the rest before the patch, to actually play it. SO you can't play 1 while the others downloaded, unless the patch comes in 2 parts.
- @SofaJockeyUK i agree, if ME 1 is pre-loaded until you finish it 100% you can download the other 2, for me i am going to re-search every place in me 1,2,3 finish everything and it would take some time, i would heave been happy if ea would let us start playing only me 1 on pre-load date.On insanity it takes time to finish everything and get enough paragon/renegade points for best outcome and level up.
Oh WOW i didnt even think of that, if the day one patch is tied in ith ME2 and ME3 none of us on xbox will be able to oplay ME1 until the whole thing is installed. Hope they thought of that :/
@SofaJockeyUK Has this been thought of? If we can put the day 1 patch first then ill be fine, can play ME1 all day.
There is definetely something wrong here. (Series X) After loading the 21GB, you'll find the game on your mange game screen saying "game is not installed". After click on that information you'll get a new screen with a 88GB Version to install. Starting that installation will download a 20.74 kb file and nothing more happens!
Edit: This 21GB is exactly the file size of the day one patch...
