Can you let us know what the size of the update is? Also, can you check your system settings and post what the build level of your OS is?

To do that : Press Menu and select Settings, Select System, Select Console Info, and your Operating System version should be the third row down.

"The site was not an alternative way to take the Day One update and customers still need to connect to Xbox Live for the update," a spokesperson said. "Because of the complexity of this customer support process we've actually removed the page and we will work with customers directly to make sure they have a smooth experience."

Yeah was reading that on Reddit earlier. If A7MAD can post the size of the update and what the base OS version is, we'll know for sure.

I'm pretty sure the full update patch is 800mb for a fresh out of the package console. I thought I read it on an actual Sony website, are you telling me that is wrong?

I don't know firsthand, maybe I misread.

The 1.51 patch is 300 mb. The 880 mb file is if you want to reinstall the OS to a new hard drive. You got it wrong, but it's easy to confuse the two.
 
Here are the instructions in case they're removed:

Emergency Offline Update (EOU)
The Emergency Offline Update (EOU) can be used to perform a system update to a console that’s having trouble downloading the system update from Xbox Live. To perform the EOU, you’ll need:

  • A USB flash drive formatted as NTFS with a minimum 2 gigabytes (GB) of space
  • A PC with an Internet connection and a USB port.
IMPORTANT: READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING THE UPDATE


Step 1: On your Xbox One console
You’ll first need to know which OS version you’re currently running in order to download the correct system update.

To find your Xbox One console’s OS version:

  1. Press the Xbox button to return to Home.
  2. Press the Menu button and select Settings (or select Settings on the Home screen).
  3. Select System.
  4. Select Console info.
  5. Your OS version is the third row down.
Note: If you’re in the middle of a system update and need to find your OS version, pull both triggers and both bumpers on your controller. The OS version is listed as Build and is the second line down.


Step 2: On your computer
  1. Plug your USB flash drive into a USB port on your computer.
  2. Format the USB as NTFS (USB must have at least 2 GB of space).
  3. You’ll need to select the correct OS version to be able to install properly.
  4. Click Save to save the console update .zip file to your computer.
  5. Unzip the file. If you’re using Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, double-click the .zip file to unzip it.
  6. Copy the contents of the .zip file to the root directory of your flash drive.
  7. Unplug the USB flash drive from your computer.

Step 3: On your Xbox One console
  1. Unplug the network cable if you’re using a wired network connection.
  2. Power off your console, and then unplug the power cord to ensure that the console is completely powered off.
  3. Wait 30 seconds.
  4. Plug the power cord back in.
  5. Plug the flash drive into a USB port on your Xbox One console.
  6. Press and hold the BIND and EJECT buttons, and then press Power On.
  7. Continue holding the BIND and EJECT buttons for 10-15 seconds.
  8. Listen for two “power-up” tones a couple of seconds apart.
    Note If you don't hear two power-up tones after 10 seconds, it means this failed. Likewise, if you hear any “power-down” chirps, that also means this failed.

  9. You can release the BIND and EJECTbuttons after the second power-up tone.
  10. When the console restarts, remove the USB drive.
  11. Once the console restarts, the update is complete and you should be returned to your experience.
    Note The console restart may take several minutes.

About the buttons and beeps
The BIND and EJECT button combination forces the console to look for the USB drive update, as the console will not look for a USB drive unless it needs it. This helps to decrease console start times for all startups when this step is not needed.

The first power-up tone will occur approximately 10 seconds after powering up. This indicates that a USB update has been detected. The second power-up tone indicates that the update file has been copied and mounted. This is important, as it confirms you have a compatible Xbox One system update based on your current build. This informs the system which build is currently installed on the console, and whether the update is compatible with that build.

Penello: That file was never designed to replace the day one update. Its a recovery file in case something goes wrong. Instead of risking customers get themselves into a bad state by installing the file, we are going to troubleshoot on a case-by-case basis. It is not a replacement for the online update.

So, it was a complete OS install, not an UPDATE? So, back well below your claim of "Gigs?"
 
I thought it'd be 1gb, but I guess we'll have to see when the "real" day one patch goes up.
 
Well then, looks like we are still only left with the one option of downloading via Live? That is going to be messy.

Well, in theory you can still use the downfile but as it's a full OS replacement, it's a little heavy handed. I'll have 5 or 6 hours before the midnight launch in the US, so hopefully I'll get my patches downloaded before the the s*** hits the fan.

I'm in Pacific Time, so the servers will be fully taxed by the time I log on. Glad I have the zip files, just in case!

So is that for definite now? Seriously blows man...

They're saying there's nothing they can do about it and there's no explanation. They offered me $40 in credit. I took it but said it doesn't fix that this is a major screw up on their part. I talked to a supervisor and he's going to try to do everything to get it to me tomorrow. I don't have high hopes that it will happen but I'm appreciative he's trying. He knows this is a major bummer. It looks like I'll have to camp out tonight to get one if I don't want to wait until Monday.

I don't see why people think this.

Xbox Live handles millions of people at a time downloading files sometimes.

1 million or so Xbox One's shouldn't stress it, especially if MS is scaling up the availability of servers for launch.

All good points. But past experience has me cautious.

Doesn't hurt to have a backup plan (assuming those instructions/files are good for Day One update). I've heard many times before that "we stress tested" or "we have enough capacity" when in fact, there were issues. I'm going to attempt the update online first of course and since I'm 1) On the West Coast USA and 2) Will not be doing the update until Friday night, I don't anticipate any issues.

I'll personally find it completely unacceptable if it doesn't perform well from day one. These aren't cheap devices or new services.. it's 2013.. if you can't handle 1 million down-loaders you are doing it wrong.

Of course and yet PSN had issues so there's that.
