Do you trust cloud storage for your save games?

i am hesitant to set it up, what if the servers go down? what if they mysteriously lose all our save games due to a hack attempt? or system failure where the servers are kept?

do you use cloud saves? is it worth it? do you trust it?

I never did really use it, but i'm sure its more reliable than the hard drive. Think of all the people trying to sue if they lost all of there cloud storeage. I'm sure they have backups of backups

Even if I did use it i'd still back up everything on USB anyways. And no way I'd exclusively use cloud.

I don't trust it.. i trust my hdd more than I trust storing my files on someone elses server they could take down or clear at any moment.

Nope. In fact, the only time I even connect my 360 to the internet is when I want a new demo or am forced into an update. I don't pay for Live and don't care about anything else internet functionality brings.

I tried using cloud once to be able to game from my apartments xbox and the one I left at my parent's house. There seems to be time needed to sync the files so it's happened where I wanted to resume a save but it says pending sync or something to that effect. So now I reverted back to using a configured USB and the HDD.

ya i trust it...i'm pretty sure it's safe since most corporations practice backups in case of system failures...and yes it's worth it especially when u play on another xbox, u can just sign in and access ur saves online

I have no reason not to. I like the idea of it, but I have yet to use it.

I trust cloud saves but I don't use it. For the record, the chance of your HDD breaking is way higher than the chance of every MS server and backup system being destroyed, causing you to lose a cloud save.
