Beacons and Cloud Storage to Make It Easer to Connect on Xbox LIVE

Really liking the Beacon idea, and Cloud Storage? Yesss!

i really dont like the idea because i like the way the set up is now

this is cool and all but when will xbox let us connet to pc gamer to verus them or get actually internet? i was really hoping for this D:

You can't do both console AND cloud saves? It's either or? That's not a good idea. It really should be both.

I agree with TenaciousSnake7. The cloud storage should basically be a bi-directional sync with your hard drive. That way, you don't need to be connected to the internet to access the information but you can still access it remotely. Hopefully, this is how Microsoft is implementing it already.

I really like the cloud storage feature since a lot of games are getting more social, especially Kinect party games. If you visit a friend to play Rock Band, Dance Central, Kinect Sports, etc... then you want easy access to your profile so that you can play with your avatar and also get credit for your achievements.

Bravo on this one, Microsoft.

THANK YOU Microsoft! I'm sick of copying my saves to my flash drive just so i can play the game at a friend's! Long Live Xbox LIVE!

Will the cloud storage be stored on Skydrive or will it be something like Kinectshare.com.

Im not sure what you mean by "or get actually internet" ProjectZombie28, but if you mean that you were expecting an internet browser on the xbox 360 system it wouldnt be good idea. If xbox put an internet browser on the xbox your xbox would be more prone to hacks and viruses. I mean thats how the Playstation network got hacked, or at least thats what I've heard... so in conclusion an internet browser would give us more cons than pros...

I am Loving th cloud storage thing!!

coud storage integrated with SkyDrive? OR at least has SkyDrive branding... sure hope so

I mean if you are going to call something generic like "search" "bing" than you should feature whatever this cloud storage is as SkyDrive

cool no flash drives needed

i like the idea so whan that come out i wont it but whan i Achievements and gamerscores and i awards are going to be posted up on i facebook and i just wont it to just post up on there not going to kinectshare.com i what to know more about beacons i lil bit understand what its talking about but i dont understand what its really like meaning it will just alart my friends on facebook and xbox live that i am ok to play a game with them or what

I'm filled with excitement that you're adding Cloud Storage and Beacons to Xbox Live, but I have something to say about Xbox Live. The Xbox Live Arcade is such a great system for exclusive downloadable games, but I think that the 2 Gigabyte technical restriction should be removed so that game developers would have loads of freedom much bigger games! 2GB for XBLA games still feels too small to me. You created Games On Demand with a different file structure without that restriction almost two years ago, so why couldn't you do a big overhaul for the XBLA file structure?? I really want the 2GB tech limit to be removed so the game developers won't have to deal with that constraint any longer! You made the new disc format for future Xbox 360 retail games, so, how about doing some heavy upgrading to the XBLA file structure via a system update, please? My request is to have much bigger XBLA games, especially for games who heavily support DLC! Am I right? You've always listened to the fans' voices, now hear my voice! Think about it.
