To me, the only major con is the 24-Hour connection

You know this news pertains to listening onto potential terrorists.......not petty municipal crimes.

Your still acting all tin-foily. The government doesn't bother with small fish and the municipal cops will NEVER get permission to bust some kids smoking weed in front of their Xbox. Gimme a break.

Again, it is NOT always watching, you can turn it off, despite being plugged.

If its not always watching and they don't have nothing to hide why does the x1 will not work without kinect beign attached? It makes no damn sense to not have the option to use it with just controller if the user wants to.

And if you lose your kinect or it breaks then its over, no more console. Its just baffling.

Because they....I don't know...... want you to embrace Kinect. Its actually convienent to use to navigate the dash and marketplace. Its easier to consider if the kinect is ready and waiting to go.

But at least you seem to agree that the governemtn wire taps are for terrorists, not some kid smoking weed.
