I think we might see ingame Skype - so at the beginning of a game, you can not only hear their voices, but actually see the faces of the others on your team in online play. (Kind of like the beginning of the Brady Bunch - but with your Xlive Friends.) They way the Kinect Camera can 'mask you out' so only your face is show, and we can see who we are playing with, not the entire game room. And they might include the option of real people or animated Avatars. Cause I know not everyone on the internet really wants to be seen. Then you could see who is actually speaking in a tiny box on the upper right and the software would switch out. Sort of the way a Goggle Hang out does.

Man that would be awesome...and yet frightening at the same time. Just imagine all of the horrible genitals and whatnot you would see over XBL if they allowed that. Of course something like that could also have a great benefit for t-bagging the corpses of your enemy.

I can see it how.  Hey, that guy is wearing sun glasses and has a funny... ...Hey! That's is NOT a nose!

The Kinect face tracking - as seen here.  The camera doesn't move, just crops the area around your head.

Perhaps now we can differentiate each other by age groups on Xlive?  (14 and under, Over 18, over 21, over 30, etc.)
