ummm...i dont see the issue.  this is the same for video and voice stuff now.  if someone reports you then they can check this stuff out.

Just to be curious what video and voice stuff?  Until I got an Eyetoy (and if I get Kinect) I've never had anything in my house that can record/hear me.  Do you mean CCTV?  Or when people drop of their PC to get fixed forgetting they left a video of them robbing a bank - not to forget the Gary Glitter incident with the child porn.

This is different case to either of those scenarios I'd say.  Not that I think it's an actual issue myself, although I can see it drawing some unwanted attention.

are you even being serious?

Yes because my position assumed a start point without anything already in your house.  Hence I had no idea what you meant.  Now, if you already have webcams, etc. in place then clearly suddenly grumbling about Kinect is a bit redundant.

I was really think of the new audience MS is targeting, who presumerably don't have 360s already and might be worried about having a webcam in their living room.

I can see where you're coming from but we're thinking of different start points to the arguement.

I believe the common understanding is that "video and voice stuff" refers exactly to the headset and camera.
