Will we still be able to edit saves after December dashboard update?

As you probably all know by now, the new dashboard will be out early December (6th) bringing with it a lot of new features.
One of those features is cloud storage, where you can store your saves and gamer profile similar to iCloud etc.
My question is whether this will replace HDD saving and become the mandatory save type, or whether it will just be a bonus feature.
Obviously one thought I had was for the people without internet access to their Xbox, but then again it's not unlikely that the dashboard update isn't intended for the network challenged out there.

What do you guys think?

Cloud storage is optional & will probably start with 4GB. They'll probably make an extra premium cloud storage for people who want to store their games on demand. You can't stop Modding unless you change how the game save works. With constantly randomly generated hex in the game save. But I doubt that'll happen.

Thanks for the response man. I don't feel that M$ see's save modding as an issue unless it's for multiplayer anyway.

Well I've tried using a couple of downloaded saves for Metal Gear Solid HD Collection after the update and I get a corrupt save message. And yes I know how to Rehash and Resign using my profile and device ID's

I mod my skyrim files and no problems all my saves that are modded work.

Just to answer your questions because I participated in the dashboard beta and have been using it for a while now.

This isn't replacing your hard drive, this is a bonus option allowing a separate place for you to store your saves, it's actually a pretty good thing I keep multiple modded Skyrim saves on Cloud.

Further, the new dashboard does NOT prevent you from editing your saves.

cant wait thanks for the heads up
