Sorry but I have to disagree, I expected less than 500gb but not that much lower. That is poor data management on Microsofts part. If the games are going to be around the size of Forza 5 (32gb) that means in about 10 games your out of space. And in the desktop world if you have a 500gb drive you basically get the whole thing minus the default allocation that is determined by your partitions, boot record type, and format. With a standard installation of 8.1 with a recovery and driver partition you get about 465gb of a 500gb for file storage.
