We talking about this one ?

The cloud price is the Xbox Live fee and is what you get for putting up with the once in 24 hour checks, and partial elimination of disc-based games.

Haven't you heard? EVERY Xbone owner has a broadband connection. So no problems there.

Wasn't God supposed to be using a cloud too?

i am not to sure on the cell phone. i doubt you could use it for cloud computing, but should work for the authentication so he can play games.

If there's one thing the cloud fixes that I am definitely appreciative of, it's that I don't have to re-buy my game if the disc breaks.

Now I don't tend to abuse my discs; I try to take good care of them. But accidents happen, and things can go wrong. Just last week I noticed that one of my games has a large crack in the middle (where there is no coding). I don't recall ever abusing that disc, and yet the crack is there, and if the crack ever extends any further out, that game is going to be useless, and I would need to buy a new copy if I ever wanted to play the game again.

With the Xbox One, that problem is gone, because I can play the game without the disc. Once I've installed the game and gotten my digital copy stored in the cloud, I won't need to worry about any damage done to the disc, because I can still play my game from any X1 in the world. That is a real benefit.

blu rays are actually incredibly scratch resistant and sturdier than regular discs.

Cloud computing is AWSOME! look how sim city worked out, wow i want that on all my games!

This is a good point. I'm sure it's not a problem for the majority of people but I've had to rebuy several games over the years due to either my kids or myself breaking them. Last time I did it I was taking a game out of the case and it got hung up on that little clip in the middle and I was still trying to pull it out and...snap. I don't normally do dumb shit like that either but it does happen from time to time and it's nice that it won't be an issue.

Edit- I forgot we get a blu ray player this time....yay.

well, to defend sim cty a little, the whole idea kind of requires cloud computing.
