If you're OK with the Kinect "always on" feature, you're nuts

[Kings County]

You have nothing going to worry about. No one is sitting in a dark room watching everything you do through kinect.

someone will learn how to hack it

do what you want to do but you been warned, breh..

they have patent but right now sony has not been doing the things that microsoft are doing with their console..not even close..all the rumours that we heard for months regarding the xbone were true..how are people suppose to believe otherwise when every single rumors were true..

I wouldn't put anything past Sony. Especially after their rootkit debacle. They were fukking modifying people's operating systems without their permission to prevent them from copying CD's.

If anyone is capable of spying and DRM madness it's Sony.

And if they do what makes you think they want to look at or listen to YOU?

Listen, I currently prefer the XBox to the PS3, I own both (actually 2 PS3s). And I have the Kinect and actually think for some games it's fun. It's hilarious playing some party games with friends.

Anyway, if you think the Kinect always being on is ok you're crazy. The thing can take HD video, sense how many people are in a room based on heartbeats. The fact that it can take video and is always on is a scary thing. Yes, there are many other mediums that are currently "monitoring" people's behaviors but I'm not willing to have a video camera in my home that I can't disable. I don't do anything illegal it's just the premise. That shyt is crazy.

Microsoft is really fukking up with some of the shyt they're pushing

Doesn't really matter to me. I will play my Xbox One for the Microsoft exclusives and other than that it won't be used. The Kinect will be pointed at the wall.

classic defense mechanism. Something about your favorite company sucks? Flip it to something else to make it seem like both products are the same.

It's going to be a rough couple of months for Meach, Loose, and Courtdog

Thats why you gotta smoke weed either outside or in your bathroom. What you do is you take a molly with the prosititue, then you throw on Illumiroom and your entire room turns into a sexy freaky disco orgy, some new age shiit

Xbox One Exclusive

For people who say this and other things like "I will put a sheet over it" and other stuff.... that will not work. The kinect has to be in view mode to actually work. If you cover it up or point it at a wall, it will not work.


Try again.
