Oh, yeah, that's the new normal, I'm a bit surprised they gave you a whole 100MB to call your own.
The modern Dad pro-move for giving the kids a game console for Christmas is to sneak the box open, set it up, do all the ridiculous downloads and patches then sneak it all back into the box nice and tidy so that the kids can just open it and go on Christmas morning.
...and then you realize that they will eventually shut the online service down for that console and you won't be able to play the game you bought anymore at all, despite buying a physical copy.
