It's already confirmed that they have been doing this for years. To act as if you're a crazy conspiracy theorist is not based in any logic or facts. So I do see legitimate concerns over placing an 'intelligent, voice recognizing, always connected online camera' directly into the center of your home. Secondly, Microsoft is looking to attack a variety of revenue streams and that's the primary reason Kinect is forced upon consumers. They look like they're providing a lot of value, when ultimately it's designed for their eventual bottom line. Sure, some features will be useful,fun and even potentially game changing. However, there is definite cause for concern over it's legitimate functions as it pertains in a gaming environment. Which then leads you down the path of questioning your need to own it if you don't plan on utilizing the multimedia features (Anyone outside of the US, I'm talking to you). It's not just Sony fans. It's most people. |
Nope they are not selling information without your consent I can guaranty you that.... Read your god damn TOS people.... if they were that would be a class action law suit in the making.... in all honesty I would love for them to do it, I could use the cash I would make from the gigantic fine they would get....
the NSA stuff is a different story this is not sold to the gov it is just application of a court which is what any company or private person has to do no matter what…. If tomorrow the NSA comes to your door with a legal court order and ask you information about your family members you comply or you get charge with obstruction to justice….
second you are not always online, and don't come at me with a "you don't know that"... I know about every single data package living and entering my network....
and so what about revenue stream?? the patent about multi viewer... first it will be completely unusable for them beside streaming since you can be offline for the rest... you can DL any content and consume it offline.... and even if it was enforced, it would only drive cost per person down which is something I will love...
but it's not happening anyway too many people like you and the crybabies of the web would go mad about that change even if it could be beneficial to the customer on the long run...
but let say they do it and in an evil way... I can think of many ways to trick the system.... so I'm not worried a second...
and no there isn't any cause for concern beside paranoia...
and I have a kinect 1 outside the US I use it every time I use the box outside of gaming.... and the kinect 1 is just an after thought, so even if we don't have the TV passthroughkinect 2 will be used even more than the kinect1... the media stuff is coming in France and UK I can guarantee you that too... and there is so much more to do with it than TV if you want to actually use your Box instead of wasting time... but hey you know what I already wasted enough time on those silly retarded post with close to no valid ground beside group paranoia validation in search of rationalization of stupidity....
booohhhooooo the world is evil, big brother is everywhere, don't trust anyone.... GTFO *with new york Italo American accent*
