As was already discussed in a previous thread, there is no way that MS would be stupid enough to push a download-only model for their software. With ISP monthly download caps and a large portion of retail customers still preferring to purchase phyical media, it would be a very huge gamble on their part. A portion of gamers will not care or be affected and will gladly adhere to such a model, but they are the minority.

Or more likely...a download from MS is like an 'in network" call and no data is charged! Free Mobile to Mobile didn't always exist. OOOOO, you could probably even get them to sign some sort of a deal where if you have GOLD that you don't have the 'hypothetical' (X per second) data limit when you are getting something from a MS IP!

But, if you took off the speed limits that the ISPs artificially place on you because of some sort of corporate partnership...things could really change too. but anyway, we have gone through this before...because I mentioned taking a special USB stick with you to the store and they load it on there and than GF said he hadn't heard of that and I showed the old 360 photo... |

Sometimes a dev working with limited hardware can probably get creative in how it manages resources to create smarter AI, but it'd surely be easier on all of them if they had more RAM, faster CPU/GPU, etc to work with. That's my guess at least, i'm not exactly sure what it takes to code up all that kinda stuff. |
