E3: Lagring i skyen på Xbox LIVE

Cloud storage systemet giver mulighed for, at Xbox LIVE medlemmer kan tilgå deres konto, spil og savegames fra hvilken som helst konsol uden at skulle flytte deres gamertag.

“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, including items such as Microsoft Points to make purchases, Achievements and friends,” Udtaler Marc Whitten Vice President for 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.”

Funktionen får og indbygget Facebook-funktionalitet, som kan anvendes til spilinvitationer. Spillere kan også tagge deres yndligs spil således, at venner kan invitere dem.

“By setting a Beacon, you tell Xbox LIVE what you want to play. Then, Xbox LIVE lets you know when friends are playing or want to play the same game. With Beacons, no matter what you’re currently doing on Xbox LIVE your friends know that it’s ok to ask you to play your Beaconed games.” Tilføjer Marc Whitten.
