Updating an Xbox One with a USB stick is a three-step process
Those looking to update their systems offline will need a USB stick with at least two gigabytes of space on it, and will need to format it as NTFS on their computers. After checking their OS version on their Xbox One consoles, they can then download one of two compressed files to their computer from the Xbox support page, unzip them and copy the contents to the root of the USB stick. Given that the system isn't out yet and players can't check for their OS version, those looking to get a head start on the process will need to account for that missing nugget of information.
After setting up their USB stick, the next step is to power off and unplug your Xbox One, plug the power cord back in after 30 seconds then hold the bind and eject buttons while turning the system on. The console will emit two power-up tones after 10-15 seconds, at which point owners can release the two buttons and wait for the system to automatically restart, completing the update process. Microsoft says the button combination forces the console to search for a USB drive update, which isn't the default chain of operations when the Xbox One normally boots up.

LavishUMFfexThat's how they screwed up the PS4. Thousands of PS4's have already overheated...extfexextfexextfex I thought they stated that USB sticks cannot be used on the Xboner
Well they said that no external space was compatible, but I guess it is. Still MS messed this console up a bit, they will bring another one out like the Xbox 360 Slim.
Yeah, with a doubt they will bring out an Xbone S, thats why they made this one so fat
Yeah most likely, MS is the kind of company that will copy a old style just to make money.
Well if you look how slim the PS4 is, its proof that the Xbone can be made slimmer
Yeah, but with the PS4 so thin, they stuffed everything into a small space, bad idea.
Well it didnt help only having the fans on the back lol!
Not only overheated.
Over 20 thousand consoles were bricked upon arrival.
Not saying that 20k is an acceptable number but, out of numbers that shipped, I don't think it's that big of a deal. I would rather have a ps4 than this VCR looking device.

I know, but they really should of made it bulkier, at least it would of had space for the wires, motherboard, etc. that they crammed in side of it.
And possibly a bigger fan and more ventilation
I know, I heard that some of them had over heating issues and one of them burnt up, like the Red Ring of Death.
