NYTimes: Xbox One's Kinect Can Turn Off, Microsoft Says

[Kemyran]

"It (Kinect) must be plugged in for the Xbox One to operate, though the entire system (Xbox One?) can be turned off to alleviate concerns that it might spy on people."

Even when these fukks try to clarify, they create more confusion.

turn it off by unplugging the system, ha?

Well no shyt sherlock, we are talking about turning it off while playing your games...

 

[ChrisDorner]

It doesn't function when you have the console completely devoid of power? Oh, thanks for clearing that up MS

So even though you can turn it off you have to keep that subwoofer on top of your system? Im not realyl feeling that design concept friends.

Microsoft has submitted a patent that could see the company track every TV show and advert watched via its Xbox One console and other devices.

The application called 'Awards and Achievements Across TV Ecosystem' was submitted to the US Patent and Trademark office earlier this month.

It details plans for Microsoft to reward viewers for watching adverts, TV shows or series, with virtual scores, or physical awards such as coupons and products - although it is expected the plans will be opt-in, and not turned on by default.

they did not say that. All they said is you can stop them by turning it off.

No you can't turn it off friend

They are saying that if you want the Kinect to turn off, the whole system needs to relocate to the bushes.

They won't even try to convince people it's not spying and recording you

Even when these fukks try to clarify, they create more confusion.

Okay I will keep it simple, Can you turn Kinect off while playing a game on the XboxOne that does not use the kinect features?

According to Phil harrison. Nope

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

Yes.
