And every game i tried required an installation with a following update...
I haven't got into the console setup so far yet, maybe there are some settings for that you can use it offline.

Oh OK but after that it should not require internet connection anymore for offline single playing.
Least I think so.

Yeah, there is a big difference between being online at ALL TIME that the system is on, and being online anytime you need an update.
I'll be curious to see how the S does with heat since it's a lot smaller AND the A/C adapter is inside.
Megatron:
You also have to be online in order to receive achievements. WHile they technically unlock offline, you don't get notifications for them, nor does your gamerscore increase, until you are online and they connect to Xbox servers.
That's because unlike the 360 (where achievements were completely programmed on to the disc) the XB1 requires a ping on the server in order to count it as "met." So you can unlock hundreds of points, but you won't know it until the next time you connect.

This little guy arrived today. This makes flash cart number 10 in my collection (and number 11 has already been pre-ordered).
Sheep, if you see this, I might need your Lynx template to make a cover for this ;). All of my Lynx games are using your template.

I got you covered mate! ;D
