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.

Which if you don't own 360 you won't have, correct?  Read my post again, it's perfectly clear.  I was talking about the possible reaction of NON-console owners who might be worried (I don't think they would myself) about buying 360/Kinect bundle if there were concerns around this.

I therefore was thrown by comments specific to existing owners.

Any issue here would clearly be with market perception for all the new people MS want to draw in with Kinect, not someone who's been hooked up for 3 years to Live.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
