By the way, on a more serious note, it seems like your "What about when your not using the Playstation" statement thinking that the PS3 is like the Wii where it has the WiiConnect24 feature and stays connected to the net.

The PS3 is not connected to the internet the moment your PS3 is off and/or you sign out of your username. So if my PS3 is off they can't see anything.

You should be more worried about having your Wii in standby when your WiiSpeak if hooked up.

That isn't actually true. You can download demos while logged out of your account. Or update firmware, IIRC.

The OP is a massive joke though, this is ridiculous. There are SO many things that could be spying on us right now.

Thanks for making my last thread this amusing thread.

He's right in that it can happen. But as many have pointed out, there are many other ways we may be eavesdropped/spied on with everyday devices.

Though this probably is a joke thread, i'll go ahead anyways... Your webcam is only going to be used against you if someone somehow manages to install a program or virus on your computer allowing them to control your webcam. With the PS3 this is really a non-issue, as there has been very little done in the realm of "hacking" the PS3, much less creating any sort of virus.



i can already see the Mails we will get from Sony:

...we noticed you still using the old Sixaxis Controller, we recommend the Dualshock 3



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

"Good god, PUT YOUR PANTS BACK ON while playing. Some of our web cam traffic monitoring personnel have weak stomachs."

You can alway make a tinfoil hat for both your PSEye, and your paranoid head.

Unless you have sensitive information displayed in front of your TV, and/or are planning on committing or discussing self incriminating acts in front of your TV, you probably don't have much to worry about.

Or just unplug the camera when you're not using it like most normal people.

It is NOT about the device being used when i play games. it is about being used when I am NOT.

Good lord, you guys are all way too gullible.

How retarded. The device is in your possession. If you are so worried about that unplug the damn thing while you are not using it or cover the lens. How dumb and paranoid can you be??



yeah...the end of the world has come......the prophecy is true!!

This guy is a troll trust me.
His argument is just plain stupid, if you want to be paranoid I can give you plenty of arguments on how you are being spied upon right now.
and if images were actually send as you claim people could analyze the bandwith and see that more data than necesary is send (in multiplayer games(
and sony will get a lawsuit and just die as a company.
secondly there is no reason for sony to do that and a lot of bandwith is necesary and space to store that data, and lets not forget analyzing it, all data containing people playing a game?
Not only it is stupid but fail troll is fail.

Look at my post count. Then rethink your comments.

Why so agressive and insulting? Have I murdered your little kitten?

 

I am not saying Sony will do anything. The PS3 is a computer any someone might be able to hack it.

...is that is uses a camera to track your movements. Similar to a web cam as I imagine, the camera device can be misused to spy on your living room.

I find technology like that used to be quite intrusive and I will not put myself to such a risk.

Why does the idea of someone seeing your face and your home scares you that much?
