Didn't you guys get Kowenicki's and Sales2099 doublespeak yet?

It might be a little hard over their passive-agressive style of writing and emotive discourse, but here it goes:

Connectivity is Strength
Surveillance is Safety
DRM is Freedom

I would consider myself one of those nutters. I do comment on the net with my pc (no cam needed). I do what i can to not be tracked though, But I am sure most of it does not work. For the most part I acknowledge that in this current political climate we will be watched. People are just to ok with it, our government is far too big and has far too much money and I dont see that changing anytime soon. But for the most part I watch what I say online, over the phone, and in texts. Its sad but I do. I do plan on getting a drone alert if they start becoming more prevailaint so I will at least know when the government (or a neighbor (this worries me the most), or company) is spying on people. Other than that i always vote. I still use kinect also, and plan to get and xbox ONE as it makes no difference, any device that can communicate over any network will be monitored so there is no point trying to avoid it. People who fear this stuff should fear their cell phone and ISP the most. Not MS

The amount of Sheeple that are willing to go along with this was at first baffling, but then I remembered how so few people were against the Patriot Act when it was first presented as a bill. Just keep drinking the koolaid folks.

Just got a house phone because it comes as part of a package, but I never use it, so I don't worry about it. not even sure if it's hooked up. My ISP is Optimum Online, which is owned by Cablevision. If it wasn't for not being able to watch my Mets through MLB.TV I still wouldn't have TV, like it's been for me for years up until about 2-3 months ago. 

My cellphone is AT&T who I don't trust one iota but I am stuck in this contract until early next year and when that happens I am switching providers (Mainly due to them charging WAY TOO MUCH). Plus I hate talking on the phone.

I also don't use Facebook. I know you didn't ask, but I figured I would throw that out there as well.

I also know the issue is our government, but considering all these corporations "must comply", I don't really trust that mic and camera sitting in my living room. Although to be fair I never wanted a Kinect anyways, so it isn't really this scandal that is keeping me away from it.

"I don't mind paying $599, as its the cheapest Bluray player on the market"

"My credit card data was stolen, but they improved the security measures for next time"

"I don't mind waiting 5.5 years for the next GT, it just means that the devs are perfectionists"

"Its fine that online multiplayer has a paywall now, at least it offers a better deal then Xbox Gold"

Point being: people rationalize all the time when they don't want to give up something

Door swings both ways.

Im not letting something like that impact me from playing games I want to play. What an absurd reason to not get a console that you would otherwise want.

......wow. Total propaganda on your part.Firstly, this isn't MS's fault....it is the government who is in a position to request it.

And secondly, I am not letting this paranoia influence my decision to play videogames that interest me. You, like many others, are hopping on this bandwagon because its yet another way to make PS4 look better.

Like you gave a crap when your phone and internet history has been tapped for years. Gimme a break.

My reactions in bold.

You are really gonna compare 60% failure rates and a console eating some of your games to actual facts like that PS3 was the cheapest Blue Ray Player.

Some people wanted a Blue Ray player, nobody wanted their games to get destroyed.  I swear the more you talk the more ignorant and nonsensicle you look.

Nobody here likes that.  But we are unsure if there is anything we can do about it. However we can choose to Not pay for the worst form of it!
