The ”gamertag recovery” days are banished declares Microsoft. No more messing around with USB sticks or hard drives. The world just got better.
”We are making it easier for you to sign into your Xbox Live account from any console at any time to access your game saves and full profile,” said Marc Whitten of Xbox Live.
”Cloud storage will allow you to enjoy the same great Xbox Live gaming experience even when you’re not in your own living room by giving you the option to store your ‘game saves’ securely in the Xbox Live cloud, instead of on a portable memory unit or your console’s hard drive.” Microsoft unveiled the plans at E3 2011.
”Gone are the days of ‘gamertag recovery’. Now all you need to do is sign in, no matter where you are!” Microsoft Points, Achievements and friends lists are also saved in the big Xbox Live cloud in the virtual sky. The Xbox 360 community can breathe easy.
Remember the scandalous price of those official Microsoft memory cards for Xbox 360 that were a pitiful 32MB? Remember when Microsoft banned the much better third-party ones? Well now you can forget all those troubles thanks to the mighty cloud.
