huh?

internet check every 24 hours to send a few kb = you can play a game all the time even if you disconnect for some minutes (that's what happens some people like me from time to time). your console only needs to send a few kb which you could even do with your phone.

internet connection needed all the time = even a small disconnect will disrupt your game session.

and not sure what this has to do with your friends house. if you would have to drag the console to your friend because the console needs a 24 hours check, you could obviously also not play at your home with a connection needed 24/7. and well, with the 24 hours check you could do it with your mobile connection so you wouldn't even need a friend for that if you wouldn't have internet.

Im not sure how cell phones came into all this. I guess it all depends on how much internet speed would be required to use the cloud 

for the cloud enhancements you obviously need a permanent internet connection but you can still play the singleplayer games without it. that's why i said in my first post that i don't understand why people think anything with the cloud changed since the 180 from microsoft.

before the 180 microsoft asked for a short connection every 24 hours so even then you could play offline except for this short moment to send a few kb of data. 

now microsoft doesn't ask for a connection every 24 hours anymore but before and after the 180 you needed a permanent internet connection for most of the cloud stuff.

that's why i quoted you after your first post where you asked "After Microsoft's 180, are cloud functions still viable, or will you be able to play without them?"
