i dont think well have a problem with the live servers going down unexpectedly since they have only gone down once due to to many people.

i think the reason they are doing the check in is the same reason they have kinect in every box. if they developers know that every x1 is online they will be more willing to use the cloud stuff ms keeps talking about, but if they knew a good amount of x1s were offline where the cloud is useless then they probably wouldn't use the stuff.

i also believe that the time will be extended to at least 72 hrs to maybe a week


I honestly don't think they'll extend it beyond 24 hours and that's for your home console only. If you're playing from another console on your account, it's once an hour. Why do I not think they'll extend it? Because if they do, that means I can unplug my console from the internet, take my game to sell (or give to a friend), the game becomes "unassociated" with my account, but I can go back and keep playing the game until the next check in. The number of games that can be beaten to completition in 3 days of dedicated gaming is a lot larger than the number of games with 1 day.


i believe thats becasue the games are on the cloud no trying to defend but thats what there going with  it should be longer i agree.   yeah you could beat the single player part but the mulit will not be there, and i dont think it would be that big of a deal since most people would probably sell the games anyways maybe a couple weeks later but its still going to be traded in.  and why would you want to rush through a whole bunch of games just to save a couple bucks?
