I hope they get reamed in Europe over this. The EU hates anti-trust shit.

As if they are even trying in other territories with this console.

I know just how much you value my privacy, Microsoft:

(warning, old news)

I could look past the used game thing as I buy my games new, I could look past the online DRM since my connection is solid, but this simply won't do. The always on camera/microphone is too much, and has turned me off completely.

This was for one of my assignments in class a few years back lol.

"We aren't watching you nail your girlfriend! Honest!"

Who say they are not watching? They are only clarifying that they are not hearing...well not the "important" thing anyway.

 

[kingocfs]

What part of "always on" is a conspiracy theory?

The part where people are watching you.

If you cant turn it off / disconnect it, I'll never buy one.

The tin foil hats are out in full force for another thread.

I get the feeling that all these paranoid responses show a lot of people are up to no good, haha.

Yeah dude if you don't sit well with this:
"When the first iteration of Kinect headed to the market in 2010, Microsoft's Dennis Durken suggested to investors that the peripheral might pass data to advertisers about how you look, play, and speak. "We can cater what content gets presented to you based on who you are," he said.

You're a fucking crackpot nutjob.

"Xbox, stop recording! I'm fapping right now!"

"I'm sorry Dave, but I can't do that."

 

[Phreaker]

What did you expect them to say?

Frankly, I'm not the paranoid type, but my Kinect is never plugged into the XBox 360 unless I'm playing it. Something about a camera that is watching me at all times in the privacy of my home creeps me out.

I do the same.

 

[PG2G]

I don't know, I think that makes you guys the paranoid type.

 

[StreetsAhead]

I don't know, I think that makes you guys the paranoid type.

Microsoft has said before they could use Kinect to target ads by listening to conversations.

Also, hacking is a thing. Have you heard about webcam hacking on laptops?

that would be better than a penis enlargement ad.

After XBL fifa hacks, a system designed by Microsoft with EA in mind is likely to be the least secure environment for personal data imaginable.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Can;t you just turn it to face the wall after its done the face recognition log-in stuff?

 

[The Wise Old Man]

Cant I just put a sock over it while I flog the dolphin? Oh wait it can hear me too. I need to practice controlling my breathing I guess?

 

[Persona86]

The machine on "Person Of Interest" would love to get access to this haha.

 

[Persona86]

I don't know, I think that makes you guys the paranoid type.

Always best to ask questions rather than accept anything without being a little cautious or skeptical.

 

[Jake Tower]

This shit is straight out of Nineteen Eighty-four in multiple ways.

 

[dragonflys545]

If it was the top priority, it wouldn't be always on.

Right on the money.

"We aren't watching you nail your girlfriend! Honest!"

Fail !!!!! MS think that gamers don't have girlfriends then the spying thing will be alright.
