[quote user="KingScottCarpie"]She doesn't use or require an xbox live account and would probably stick to playing on one of the consoles only (but if it's possible for her to easily switch then please let me know).[/quote]Put her profile on a USB Memory
Unit, along with all save game files. She can then move it between consoles at will. Note that this doesn't get around some games that require a specific console for save game usage or complete profile functionality (ME1 character import, Forza series, etc.).[quote]As
I understand it my hard drive game save currently syncs to the cloud,[/quote]Sort of?
Cloud Saves only sync when the game they were played on is run on the specific console you want to use the Cloud Saves on. If you play Battlefield 3 on Console A, Console B won't get those save files sync'ed until you play Battlefield 3 on Console B. Likewise,
if you play on Console B, the game saves will not sync to Console A until you boot up Battlefield 3 again.
Note than once you enable and start using Cloud Saves, you'll see that your 360 does not power off completely when you shut it down. The center light will slowly blink until the console finishes background syncing of Cloud Saves.
Having said all this, I do not advocate the use of Cloud Storage at this time. There are instances where you'll be unable to install a new title because the system is trying to enumerate all possible install locations, including the Cloud Storage device.
Since the Cloud Storage device does not sync saves unless you play the games individually that have saves in the Cloud, this means you either have to log out of Live to do a game install or you have to run every game that is out of sync.
Currently, Cloud Storage is more trouble than it's worth if you already have a tried and true Memory Unit with your profile and game saves on it. You also gain the added advantage of not having to store your profile on multiple consoles. The less places
your profile exists, the better.
