UPDATE - Xbox One Software Update Introduces Critical Error

UPDATE -

Microsoft have resolved the issue - but only if you did not update before 5pm GMT 19th August.

If you have turned the unit on and it has updated, then given you error code 0x80820002, you will need to return it to where you purchased it and get a replacement. It appears Microsoft are unable to patch this problem once it exists.

GAME have told us that they understand the issue and will replace the units easily and efficiently.

Speaking to GAME customer services, Microsoft warned the retailer of the error, linked it to the recent software update and promised that it "should be fixed today." Topics about the error have already begun to show up on Reddit and the Xbox forums:
