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?

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.

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.
