gamers are such a fickle bunch. 

Save files on the cloud? Rly? YOu mean that thing I can do on MY PHONE! Wow... XBOTS really get excited over the simplest things. LOL at people that think they'll store your actual GAME or DLC on the cloud.... and double LOL at people who think that even if that was what they think it is, that it'd be a good thing.

guys...you realize this is only going to be for Videos/Game Saves/Profile data right?XBNJim

For saves only I'm sure. You still have to have hard-drive for mandatory installs, obviously. 

This is the best Xbox one news. Anyone know if they're able to do the same with Xbox 360?narutosup

i assume you have to download the game before playing it though

i think we were reading the same book but were on completely different pages, because I was talking about digitally downloading all my games and then saving them to where the fvck ever - built in hard drive till that fills up then to the cloud then to...the trees outside wherever.

[QUOTE="soulitane"] So the whole internet dies? How will you lose everything if your internet dies? Unless you just don't understand what this is.soulitane

Using it as back-up is a good move, but it's Microsoft we're talking about - I don't have the confidence whether they will rely too much on it which would be a bad thing.

But I don't care since I will never purchase their console again.

so pretty much every1 with common sense knew, all cloud can do is save your shit, next gen and only available on Xbone.silversix_

[QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"][QUOTE="rjdofu"] Well I think you can do with anything now, from smart phone to consoles, as long as there're service providers, there are teh cloudzrjdofu

Even thopugh both Microsoft and Sony's cloud are different neither are for just storage. Here is a good article about it. Watch the video

http://videogamesandnews.com/xbox-one-cloud-a-pr-gimmick-or-the-real-deal/

Now you see the amount of servers that Sony offers is far less then Microsoft. Also what the servers for the two are designed for are made to do different things. Sony's Giakia is more designed to stream games, media, ect and Microsoft's Azura is more designed for managing applications. While the Azure is built for example to relate to consoles to handle textures and enemy AI that is not what Giakia is designed to do.

So why not offer a second model with less storage and for less money? Like 250GB (or even less) for $399, and advertise right on the box "unlimited hard drive space." No...bad idea.

The hdd in your console will mostly be used for game installs, while the online thing is for save games and game recording videos and things like that.

Yeah. but it's impractical to upload your game installs to the cloud at current upload speeds and then download them at a speed fast enough to be useful to your console. Unless you just play off the cloud like Onlive.

[QUOTE="rjdofu"][QUOTE="CanYouDiglt"]Not all cloud are the same. Cloud is just servers that send different types of information to the persons system or store information. Not ever cloud is designed to handle the same tasks and not every cloud has the same server power. CanYouDiglt

Wow...
If I can backup my 400 gigglebits of hardcore selfporn and commuNazi doomsday bluprints on the cloud then I... still wouldn't, cause I don't want them to see it. :oops:

Thats not the point, you lot make it sound like its something new when it already exist. All this represent is an upgrade to what already exist, also if Microsoft creates a magical kingdom in a floating bubble city called cloud, Sony would match em with Gaikai so i would not be gloating like its something special or advantageous. The GDDR5 vs DDR3 though is different story

Wow...

The NSA?

Kind of makes you wonder if we "own" anything digital anymore.foxhound_fox

Actually its one of the reasons i am no fan of Microsofts pioneering of this digital future, to them it seem as if a digital future means rental only. Just look at Windows 8

now does sony follow suit??   it looks like Microsoft has been making very good news lately.     Keep up the good will.    dat infinite harddrive and 500gb hDD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dat removable ps4 HDD.      cloud never loses.
