Xbox One to have unlimited cloud storage
It's no secret that Microsoft has one of the most powerful cloud services with Azure, SkyDrive and other products and services, and the cloud is being used extensively with the Xbox One to power some of the computing and rendering processes, but that's not all. Another lesser-known use of the cloud for the device is that it can be utilized as an extension of the hard drive, storing and retrieving game data.
While this feature is not an entirely new one as it existed previously on the Xbox 360 with the caveat that it could only store game data and achievements due to being limited to 512 MB of storage, it does come with some drastic changes on the One. A few of them include the storage limit being upped to infinity, and the file types being stored becoming more diversified. The release by Microsoft reads as follows;
Xbox Live offers Xbox One unlimited storage space in the cloud for all Xbox Live members to store numerous types of Xbox Live content, including your profile, games, Achievements and entertainment. This content is stored and saved in the cloud so you can automatically access it anywhere, anytime, no matter where you are
Previous generation Xbox users had to subscribe to an Xbox Live Gold account to be able to make use of this feature, Microsoft has now stated that this service will now be available for all users whether Gold or Silver.

PyramidHead I guess this is a good feature but still not really worth anything. i mean if i get a 250GB hardrive with the console i wont blow through that for a while. Also you cant have unlimited memory because everything has a limit.
It can be used for things like back up though.

Vancouver_Canucks Nothing is unlimited, everything has a limit i.e. Texts (usually 5000)
If everyone saves everything to the cloud that will be a hell of a lot of data on there and if it crashes or gets a fault somehow then all of that data is lost.
You see, computers, microsoft, the world.
Microsoft owns the world, you could say.
Go to court against Microsoft? A big finger to your face.
These guys can arrange an accident for you and get away, money is power.

Julianoz1224BacudaSubmitMoto2014MW2-Rush In some ways this is great, but in other ways, this is bad! :/
How is this bad?? Lmfao I really can't see any negatives to increased storage and the ability to store different file types.
Don't worry, he's just a jealous deluded Sony fan.
People like you are the deluded ones, look at what you're saying for christ sake, "Oh they're jealous of cloud storage that the PlayStation 4 also has". Some people are so stupid, there's just no hope for this race anymore.
Oh and you're helping?
BacudaPointless feature that nobody will use? Another deluded Sony fanboy by the look of it.LuckyOtterAxe Microsoft better be ready for this on the day of the release or else its going to be like SimCity
This is not the same thing. Although it could mess up but doubtful since they already have thousands of people using these services anyway.
Thousands, oh my so many people. That's the issue, nobody uses it and nobody wants to, this is nothing over the PS4 to those saying so, because nobody wants to have to download their files from a cloud where they have no control over their files every time they want to play, pointless feature that nobody will use.
PS: Cya when your memory runs out!
