The argument that there are people who like it does not translate into it being OK for Microsoft to shove it down everyone's throats regardless of how they feel about it. You want to play with your friends on Xbox Live? You want to play the new Halo? Well then, you're forced to have Kinect staring at you and listening to you 24/7, collecting your data*.

*Nothing is set in stone as of now (especially since Microsoft seems to be radically shifting their stance), so we'll see exactly what Kinect does when the Xbone launches.

I'm very confused about how you said Microsoft shoved it down everyone's throats? In short, they are not forcing anyone... for anything. We concumers have a right and choice to buy Xbox. They, Microsoft, have a right and choice to literally make a my little pony, pony, as the new logo for Xbox. So, it really made me wonder about how you think when you said that. Literally, I made the "that guy is wierd face" when I read that.

Microsoft can implement ridiculous ideas into their products, if they want. Does that mean we're not allowed to have opinions, state our feelings, and be upset that Microsoft is forcing things onto gamers who want to enjoy other aspects of the Xbone? I thought I said it pretty clearly: if you want to play Halo (or any of Microsoft's first-party games) or play on Live, you have to now agree to buy a Kinect that will watch and listen to you 24/7 (bar any changes made in the future). 

So we're not allowed to be upset at this? We're supposed to "just let it happen"? :P
