| Angelus said: I wonder just how unlimited it will be exactly And what kinds of things can we store in the cloud? I mean game saves are obviously no big deal, but I can I throw large DLC files in there? Whole games? |
While Microsoft PR will say "Yes" in reality your games and DLC aren't "saved" to there.
As with the Xbox 360, your games and DLC are always available. How it technically works is if you pay for it or redeem a code for it, than that content becomes available to you and appears on your games list. Same with any movies or music, once paid for (or in the case of music in the cloud) it appears in your movies or music list. You're not actually "consuming" space, because really there is only one copy of it that everyone who has paid for it and has access to. This way, Microsoft isn't storing 40 million copies of the same 5GB file. It only stores that 5GB game once, and just gives the 40 million people who have access to it the ability to download it.
But your game saves, profile info, videos, pictures(?), and likely documents (through SkyDrive) will be fully accessible.
