Xbox Kinect

[Jiirani]

I just figured if you guys have Kinect you should know that it has a setting that records everything that it sees and sends it to Microsoft. You can turn it of in the settings, so I think everyone should do that because Microsoft could see anything like that ._. So yeah, I wanted to let everyone know about it.

If you buy something that has a camera and it's from microsoft, what did you expect? lol
No, joking apart..
I don't own one, fortunately, but some of my friends do. But actually I don't care if they record me playing games and looking stupid..

And if you can turn it off, where is the problem?

[Jiirani]

It records you when your not playing games too, when it's on apparently it's constantly recording. I was just letting people know if they didn't already, because that seems kinda violating.

Yeah yeah I understand you just want to give the information, no offense.. But seriously I don't care. Because.. Big Brother is watching us all. o_O

Lolololol xD Totally xD

I would like to know where you found that out.
Personally, I hate micro$oft, but even I think that constant monitoring seems a bit... far-fetched. But if it's real, I would love it! People will hate Micro$0ft even more, make it lose even more $ than it lost at E3, and it will damage Micro$oft'$ meager reputation even more - something it can't exactly handle.

How I know that $oft failed at E3 - who many of you noticed the sudden onset of "Buy Micro$oft product X and get Xbox item Y"? - sometimes Xbox item Y is an Xbox itself.

Hehe, Can't wait until $oft goes under.

Kinect sucks. Biggest joke on the gaming industry since the Gizmondo.

The end.

LOL the Gizmondo! I remember that one.
But yeah, Kinect has bags of potential it is just never going to be utilized correctly IMO.

^ Indeed.

I say Kinect sucks, but really... it doesn't. It's average.

The part that sucks is that they're doing nothing of importance with it. So, it has become a waste of tech.
