PS3 firmware updates are optional Faxandu unless some new game requires something from the newer updates. Other than that updates on PS3 are entirely manual.

My phone company doesnt automatically update my firmware through the internet.

 

Also, I am not worried that they do it to me, I am worried that it will be abused and someone will suffer from it.

Nor does the PS3.

How are the updates done? On Wii it gets done over internet or game discs.

They're done through the internet too, but the PS3 won't update without the user allowing it.

So identical to Wii. As I thought.

Sony has no right to mess with our privacy and our lifes. I'm quite suprised at people here who are so light-headed at giving such potential to the corporation.

Exactly. I find it interesting how people here are like: "dont be retarded, its just a camera that is in your living room on a system you have no control over that can be updated with patches any time and is connected to the internet."

If Sony did anything like that, they would be found out quick and be punished severely. And even if you have the slightest suspicion that Sony would do this, you can just unplug the camera!

Are you suspicious that people might be listening in on your phone conversations too, just because your phone has a microphone? Isn't it pretty dangerous to have a cellphone too then? That's a closed system, which has a microphone, and most of them come with cameras these days too.

What does my cell phone have to do with a web cam in my living room?

And yes, people listen in on phone conversations. You should know that.

It's a comparison. What should stop the producer of your cell phone from tapping your phone and stealing whatever video and photos you might be getting on your phone?

And again, if you're even worried in the slightest about this, just pull the plug on the camera when you're not using it, problem solved!

You're being paranoid here, stop worrying that everyone is out to get you, or spy on you, or whatever.

Really? Mine does... as do most modern phones.

I think you should be more afraid of Natal to be honest. If you were to have sex in the dark Natal could still spy on you. O_o

The Playstation Eye has been out for over 2 years now, and you bring this topic up now??



Euphoria14 on 11 March 2010

By the way, on a more serious note, it seems like your "What about when your not using the Playstation" statement thinking that the PS3 is like the Wii where it has the WiiConnect24 feature and stays connected to the net.

The PS3 is not connected to the internet the moment your PS3 is off and/or you sign out of your username. So if my PS3 is off they can't see anything.

You should be more worried about having your Wii in standby when your WiiSpeak if hooked up.

You mean online? nah they don't show the pictures online on eye of judgment so the players wont see ya.

How do you know what the system does when you are online? How do you know that Sony or some other company doesnt use the device to record pictures from your home?

It has been done with Webcams. It will be done with this device as well.

why would they invest too much time doing that?

Why do they do it with Webcams?

when they did that? and did you do any crime or something to be spied? lol

Funny how ignorant tech savvy people are to not see the obvious risk. And this is not directed at you, but rather Sony.

 

1. You would need to either hack into someone's private network or have special software installed.

2. In terms of the PlayStation Eye camera, the FTC would ban Sony's game consoles from the USA and fine the hell out of them if they did that.

3. That happened from a school, not regulated by product safety boards. Easily done considering stupid kid probably downloaded some software off the school website, given software, or gave out way to much information about their private networks.

4. Only way Sony could do that is if you willingly sign a documented legal paper stating your willing to hand over your privacy to Sony.

5. The PS Eye is ran off the power of a USB port. Turning off the PS3 kills all power to its USB ports.

 

So your being way to paranoid.

My problem (well one of 'em anyway) is that ball.
It's not good form design. it looks breakable & sort of separate from the rest of the controller.
Wiimote was uniform & designed tightly with nothing much sticking out but buttons & triggers (only slightly at that)
Maybe it'll work out I don't know but aesthetically that gets me most of all.
