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"
Oh wow thats concerning. Preload on launch day? XD thats not even a preload then lmao, the whole point is to install the game ahead of time regardless of the size of the file so people in locations that dont have the top tier internet can spend days installing if they need to without affecting play time. If this game actually installs on launch day everyone with slow net gonna lose so much playtime XD
@SofaJockeyUK So the problem here from my view is that ive never seen a game that lets you play a game while it is installing on xbox. I see it all the time on pc where they have a % install that is required before you can launch and play the first portion of the game but on xbox the best ive ever seen myself was being allowed in to play the tutorial and then being told to wait for the rest.
Granted ive never seen 3 games remastered in a bundle and installed seperately before so I guess we can hope that ME1 is playable in its entirety while 2 and 3 install?
It sounds like yes, ME1 is 20gigs and is downloaded before launch day, and on launch day the rest being ME2 and 3 will download. Personally, this is a crappy idea, because not everyone will want to start with ME1 and instead play 2 or 3. I can understand a bit of this, but come on, if they let PC download 100gigs, they should at most give you the option on Xbox to download partial or all, but make it an OPTION.
I ve never seen that before and thanks for the update who must arrived yesterday and who have never existed
