You had a butthurt day! :lol:

well its been two days, because the news or drama broke yesterday night.   :lol:   epic stuff, cows needed to be knocked down a few pegs, now they will like all these things they hated on.    :lol:     4.5 gigs, who the hell is gonna want that 1 gig of ram that you can only use in certain instances " backround environments etc".    

So... Do Lems really believe that Microsoft is going to dedicate 35+ million TB to cloud storage?

Xbox Live offers Xbox One unlimited storage space in the cloud for all Xbox Live members to store numerous types of Xbox Live content, including your profile, games, Achievements and entertainment. This content is stored and saved in the cloud so you can automatically access it anywhere, anytime, no matter where you are

The direct quote says games, so until Msoft come out and say "hey, no. No you can't save full games to the cloud" you can.

I plan on downloading all my games with my PS4 and Xbox One, so if I don't have to spend $100 on an external HDD for the two that would be pretty damn cool.

i guess you didnt get the memo and that Microsoft is building datacenters and putting um another 10-20 billion into the cloud?    nope guess not, this wont be a problem brah.   think big.

XBL is free, XBL GOLD isn't know the diff!

Well someone else should check behind me, but in regards to Azure capacity per account:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud/gg663909.aspx
7. Storage Capacities

• A singe Storage Account can be up to 100TB in size. This is a hard limit. A single subscription can have 5 storage accounts. This limit is not fixed and more accounts can be requested via customer support.
• Blobs come in two flavours, Bock and Tables. A Block Blob can be up to 200GB in size. A Table Blob can be up to 1TB.
• A Table is a grouping of Entiries. A Entity is made up of Properties. A single  entity can hold up to 255 properties for which the combined size of all of the properties in an entity cannot exceed 1MB.
• A Queue contains Messages. There is no limit to the number of Messages a Queue can support beyond the limits of the Storage account. A message within a queue cannot exceed 8KB.
• Drives are handed as Page Blobs and so can be up to 1TB in size

the only problem with doing that is if you get hit with hurricane sandy and lose your internet, you cant play that game.    anyway you slice it, this is good news.

I think you're missing the point. There's no reason to save a full game on 'the cloud', since it's already there by virture of being available digitally. You'd gain nothing by storing your game on the cloud. The only point where there's a benifit here is when we're looking at personalized data (your personal save games, your personal screenshots, video clips of your gameplay.

I don't want to own any discs whether it be music, movies or video games they should all be digital. Both consoles support day one downloads where you can play with a partial download, hell if I can get through this gen without buying any discs I'll do it.

i cant wait for the family plan, julie larson green is such a lovely woman, she will bring in those soccer moms.    so far so good under her, she seems to want to do the right thing.   the recent news has been extremely good.    mods?  self publishing and to have full access to the system.   xbox one is dev kit out of the box?    now this cloud loving?    im loving it, sorry I know i preordered the right console.    Xbox Day One Edition.

Sounds like all your data, games included. Cool.

GravityX

Remember the idea of logging into your friends Xbox One and accessing your games library. This stuff was built into the Xbox One from the beginning. So I think it applies to full games. Of course I could be wrong.

finalstar2007

Sounds to me its more about saving Game save data and not actually having a 15GB game saved up on the cloud, currently Sony does that and been doing it for few years via PS+ as you can upload game saves into the cloud without having to worry about losing them on the HDD.

PS4 $399 with 500 removable HDD ( that can be upgraded easily to a cheap 1TB HDD) >>> XboxOne $499 with un-removable HDD's

XboxOne still terrible

can you save audio files?   can you save pictures, movies, media to that cloud on PSN unlimited?   Just wondering.

it probably was the kinect making them laugh in the picture.   the distance of the 3 guys in the middle of table to what they are looking out is about 10 feet.    and the Kinect can recognize a fingertip from that distance.    but seriously NSA?    i dont even give time to that, nobody is watching me through kinect 2.0.   or  you, cause you will get the xbox one cause you know its great.

[QUOTE="R3FURBISHED"]

[QUOTE="lx_theo"] Are you a moron? What upside would saving a game to the cloud have? Its identical to what they already have on their servers for digital downloads. Its would be quite literally the same thing as deleting your gaplicate a feature that is already there?

says the person with an X1 avatar

So this is going to function exactly the same way as it does on 360 but without a limit?  Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the only tangible benefit cloud saves?  Theoretically you could install a game to the cloud, but then you're stuck with the limitations that carries and streaming games is wholly unsatisfactory.  Am I missing something?  Because this doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

If you can store movies and music to the cloud for streaming, that'd be worth something....

[QUOTE="xboxiphoneps3"] Makes no sense at all, if your at your friends house and he doesnt have the game installed on his xb1, you still have to download the game from the cloud, its not going to magically appear on your console instantly...
