Every time I see a post like this I think of my dad. If you are giving a technical gift to a child or a nervous senior, by all means, you should put things together. Make it an easy buy-in. I got my dad a digital picture frame so we can send him photos while traveling. When I was talking about them in general, he was like oh I could never do that. I will be setting it up before he gets it to get him past the hump.
For everyone else like your teen kids, ask them if they want you to update it with them and come up with something fun to do while the updates are running.

Reply to LPT: If you are gifting a gaming system for Xmas, turn it on and connect it to the internet before you give it out. This way all the updates are downloaded and installed on the day the gift is opened. by koopabomb
