Ok Faxanadu is making a hypothetical

You believe that hypothetical is ridiculous

Just discuss that, no cat fighting.

I did. I said unplug the camera while not using it or cover the lens. He totally ignored that simple solution and continues with his paranoia of someone spying on him. Whats the point? 

IDK, the only way I can spin it is that it's a thought/mind experiment, and you're getting on the nit picky details. It's almost like not being able to read Sci Fi books because you keep saying "That's impossible!"

Why stop at the PS3 move then?  Your DSi now has a camera as well.  Most cellphone has a camera as well as a GPS device.  Most laptop have built in webcam.  Natal is around the corner.  GM cars can get remotely switched off and tracked.  Your privacy would be at risk if you have Facebook or twitter.

Wow people are so paranoid these days. Either you have something to hide or doing something you shouldnt be doing if your so afraid of someone spying on you. Heres a solution when your not using the Move unplug the camera. And when your using the Move if you would be playing games with your move and not doing other things. I dont see why they would spy on you playing games. This wouldnt be a big deal for me. Yes I understand some people are afraid of their privacy being violated but still. The intended use of this device is to play games. Now if your doing something else in front of the tv that can cause embarrassment i can see why you'd be so paranoid.

How many people will leave it plugged anyways?

I am merely saying that it is a potential intrusion to ones private life, not mine in particular. People will leave it plugged in and the system running without even thinking about this camera being in their living room.

Akvod got it right in that I am not personally concerned too much, I am just pointing out that this is a potential threat to privacy and could be abused by someone.

You people get really defensive over something that, when you take a step back, definitely is a risk to ones privacy. And then you start being insulting.

Ok, got it.

You guys dont know history and dont care about it.

Ever heard of the Stasi? Guess not.

Sheep are sheep.

Most people took high school western civ history. It doesn't make one an enlightened scholar.

Stop being so defensive.

For the record, you just inferred that a web cam hooked up to a game console is somehow on par with the activities of the secret police of Nazi Germany.

So that would make SCE the Nazis if their console could be hacked to spy on people as they played EyePet?

You're already being monitored on a daily basis, but it isn't by SCE.

There is no reasonable risk. You don't know what you are talking about. You'd be better off saying house's shouldn't have doors because people could forget to lock them and potentially let someone else in. You'd be a lot more successful convincing other people to get ride of their front door than worry about this so called risk to ones privacy.
