I don't get how this works, though. Like... Dan and I were talking about it a couple of weeks ago. I put in my "Orange Box" with Portal 1 on it and it said the game was not playable. But you go to the store and they have Portal 1 (although they called it something different) that you could download for free.

I still find the interface baffling.

So, I guess my question is, will the Portal 2 disk actually play or will it direct me somewhere for another download? I still have more than 50% of the hard drive free but, if this keeps up, it will max out.

well it will recognize the disc as like your "ticket" but then you will have to download it. Like every xbone game.

Alex and Evan warned me that I was going to need a bigger hard drive before long.

Pretty much. Luckily storage is cheap these days and you can get one without an external power source.

I got the XboxOne with the 500 GB drive and, like I said, it is something like 50% free still so I guess I got some time. I have a TON of games I want to play but don't make the time to do it so it will probably stay that way until it gets cold out again. We'll see... Maybe I'll buck up for some extra storage then.

I wonder if I could wire it up to a NetApp?

Sure if you want to pay millions in netapp license fees
