Also some games only run on an updated version of the system so it is updated from the game disc (I think some games - maybe all? - download partly to the harddrive so they run more quickly too). This may happen to me more often as I buy fewer games/don't turn on the console as frequently. Unlike the Wii, it doesn't seem to flash blue/give a notification unless the console is actually on and not just on standby.
