Disc-less 1TB white Xbox One coming?

SA will probably only see this console in 2015/2016

Ya well hell if the X box is only going to be released in October over here we will wait a long time, not that it matters because we don't have the infrastructure to support a disc less console...

Forgive my ignorance, but is the only way to get an update on a console through the console's internet itself? You can't download it to a PC and then transfer it over the network or on a USB?

I know you can update via usb on ps4.

Well then, if you can do the same thing with Xbox, perhaps internet cafés or gaming/technology shops could keep game update files, and people with discless consoles could just pop in there with a flash drive and get the update

In an ideal world yes... But i know for a fact that with the standard X-Box One you HAVE to connect to the internet on day 1 and do a mandatory update... at the end of the day something we have to realize is that the gaming industry is not HEAVILY reliant on the internet, and the big guys dont give a rats ass about us 3rd world countries with our shitty internet connections...

But surely the main issue is downloading the huge game updates? I can't think people with Xbox's wouldn't have ANY internet, so I'm sure firmware updates are doable. And perhaps if the demand for more downloads and faster internet speeds increase, someone will finally fix the terrible internet we have in South Africa.

Mmm. That would be ideal. At home I have a measly 3G connection that's capped. At work, at work I get to play

xbox 1 and 360 only allows system updates via usb

Damn, that's a bit useless Is that the only function of the USB in the Xbox?

Apparently Microsoft have rejected these rumours of a diskless model:
