Yeah it's a real shame about losing the F&F thing, but I think it's just too soon for that feature, at least in my country. The infrastructure is just not in place. The amount of difficulty in establishing an internet connection at my mother's new house has been an eye-opener for how outdated we really are. The sister, for another example, is going to become a poor student very soon with a 360 and unlikely to have a One80 for a few years. I don't really want to share games with many other people.

Give it a few years for faster, better connections where there's never a doubt of being offline and it would be great.

In the mean time, I can hand a disc over very easily. For data transport, a disc is the easiest way of doing it so far.

I genuinely believe that Microsoft are right about cloud gaming, I just don't think we're ready yet.
