the cellphone and console comparisons are very tiring, and make no sense. you use a phone to call people. guess what you use a console for? to game. everything else in both, is just an add-on.

Right! and nikkas don't use xbox live and the sort and talk shyt into microphones, etc.? nikkas don't sit infront of webcams etc? All of this shyt is chocies u make.

And that justifies what Microsoft is doing? :wtb:

You have a fukked up sense of morality dude.

that meach character stays on "but xxx does it too" even when it's a false equivalency



The kinect can be disabled. And your phone camer can be enabled without your knowledge if someone wanted to spy on you.

the kinect cannot be disabled if you want to use your xbox. also, you sound real nutty comparing it to cell phones. our cellphones aint propped up, facing us on some "always watching and listening to you" type shyt. whatever i say or do on the phone wont be used to sell me shyt, at least not yet.

- xbox one will record all sounds in your home even while switched off
- kinect will use it's camera to record you while playing video games and forcibly pause the game when it cannot detect you
- xbox one will send the data to microsoft where they may share it with third parties
- xbox one requires you to connect to the internet and submit the recorded data atleast once every 24 hours or you will be unable to play your games
- microsoft has already agreed to send the collected data to the government when they request it

this is not tinfoil hat shyt, this is the future of gaming according to microsoft.

Here's a differencE breh.

Microsoft is openly stating they are going to invade your privacy. Hard body. Which is against many laws and if not its at least against morality.

Can you provide a link to some paperwork from cellphone companies openly stating that they invade your privacy through unwanted surveillance and recording? :ohhh:

Microsoft hasn't openly stated any of the claims in this thread. What they have said is that the camera will only be listening for the words. Xbox on. And they also said there will be security options to turn off the features that you don't want to use.

And your kinect is only pointed at what you point it at, just like your smartphone.

Am I right in saying the Xbox One will only work when the Kinect is attached to it?

Yes.

And I start talking to my girlfriend who was with me at the time and I mention the guy who I'm seeing in the game and he comes out of the speakers and he can hear everything I'm saying because the Kinect is plugged in. Are there going to be options to kind of turn off all of this?


You definitely will have the software capability to turn off all the capabilities of Kinect. We want to put the gamer in control. And privacy. The box data information that collects is your data; it stays with you. You are in control of what you want to be collected. Game developers will obviously enable certain features and you'll be alerted when certain things are happening. Putting the gamer in control is really important.


did this disprove anything? the kinects always on and you wont be able to use your xbox with it disabled. it's recording info but it "stays with you", what does that even mean? why is this blackbox gathering information in the first place if it stays on the box? read between the lines, one user agreement later and M$ will be using this gathered information to ship off to marketing.

Once again. It has security controls that allow you to turn off the features you don't want to use.

If you can "read between the lines" for the Xbox then why aren't you doing the same for your smartphone? It has all the same capabilities yet you willingly share your entire life with it. Why do you feel comfortable doing it with your phone but not a gaming system?
