Since going to Xbox one I have been trying to buy most of my games digitally, since you have to install either way. However last year downloading Advanced Warfare the night it was released was a nightmare. It took over 36 hours (I imagine because of all the people trying to download it), and was very frustrating. So my question is: Is it fair to assume that this will not be an issue a year later, or should I get a disk to avoid this problem?

Download the digital version if you have a good internet source/provider. Avoid breaking the game xD.

You can just pre download it off the store now so when 12am comes on the 6th of november you can play straight away.

If you want to play at midnight get the disc in my opinion.

Im pretty sure the download portion is on your internet side. Nothing to do with the server.

I just remember my friend had a nightmare of trying to install the game. Took him 5 different discs' and digitally buying the game for him to be able to play it.

wasn't there a problem last year for Advanced Warfare digital? like people weren't getting the download right away, or something like that?

I heard last year that people who pre-downloaded the game before it released changed their region to New Zealand so they could be able to play it early since it already came out over there. So I'm pretty sure if that works this year you can play the game 17 hours early if you pre-download it.

I'm pretty sure this only worked if you pre-ordered the game with the New Zealand local on your console.

I bought the game with a US local, and could not download the game before 10 pm my time.

I still had to install it and it took forever.
