they announced that predownloads will be available "a few days before release" but does anyone have a specific time of when it'll be available (yes I have less than stellar internet so it takes me a while to download large files)

Mine started today, though it was interrupted twice now.

Microsoft's 350,000 servers and not a single one can download a freaking game without stalling or use more than 9600 baud.

I've seen a couple people downloading fallout 4 on their xbox ones the other day.

great so it's mine being slow again thinking of renaming mine "supply depot" cause it's in the rear with the gear.

You might be able to download it right now. Mine downloaded a few days ago. 28.1 gigs.

I was downloading Forza 6 and had the same issue.

when I preordered I had around a 100mb download but I figured that was just the confirmation (unless they got outstanding at file compression)

Just turned my xbox one on for the first time in a week (been playing fallout 3 on the 360) And i just started to re-install my preorder and its going slow! which is good, i think lol its looking like a normal install now. Up to 40%. Where before, it did the 100% in less then 30 seconds. So hopefully this is the actual game and I'll be ready to play at 12:01 am on the 10th. Also noticed my % usage of harddrive went up 7% since the last time I looked at the xbox one. So it must be doing something right.

42

If your on PS4 you'll have to wait until the 9th.

I purchased Saturday before I went to bed. It started downloading immediately and took about 8 hours.

XBox One.

Soon, you'll be able to play fallout 3 on xbox one.

I've had my downloaded for over a week now, so your able to pre-download it now.

Mine downloaded a week or two ago.

mine downloaded Monday

There's a sticky thread at the top of this forum about preordered digital downloads on X1.....

but mine took about 30 minutes? Not sure if that's good or not

Yes us Sony gaming peasant have to wait.

Just restarted my download in fear that it never downloaded properly (always gotta be cautious) my download is 25.5gb's and it's saying that it's not using up any space :/

I bought the game on Monday and it started downloading the game at that time. It was taking quite some time but it was done on Tuesday. I did not have the console on the whole time.

Bought mine on Nov. 2nd and immediately started downloading. Was finished sometime the very next day.

8th, not 9th......two full days is more than enough. I finally got around to downloading the 17GB patch for the Witcher 3 and it took me about three and a half hours so Fallout 4 with its 28-35GB download should be a painless 5 to 7 hours for me. Even with a slow connection you shouldn't need more than 24 hours and we're given 48 hours head start so there should be no issues getting it ready pre-launch.

Are you sure? In my pre order said estimated 11/9/2015

Yes....my preorder said estimated 8th and the screenshots from others I've seen said 8th.....I'm in the US though so my preorder is already paid in full as my PSN wallet was charged at the time I placed the preorder.....my understanding is that Europe(or at least some parts of it) do not charge the PSN wallet until very near release or at release so if that's the case for you they wouldn't let you download until your payment was collected and they may not do that until very close to release. Are you in Europe, has your PSN wallet been charged for the Fallout 4 preorder yet?

I DL'd it this past Monday morning.
