Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One: Why We Can’t Trust Microsoft

the always connected camera is the main reason why you should not trust them. not because of someone maybe hacking in and watching you, no. because of the possibility that the camera could be used to monitor how many people are watching/playing movies/games. and due to certain drm laws, which pretty much say that only the product buyer has the right to use it, the software might block you and your friends from watching/playing until you pay a fee for additional rights. call me paranoid but i think they might try it out when xbox-one becomes a success.

cuz phuck... nobody has camera phones, nobody has notebooks with cams, nobody knows your location. But please, trust the other guys... coz they don't have any 3d cameras. Don't  you realize... a company would be stupid not to patent this shit... everybody patents everything. And if you come to put it that way... it's not about you not trusting them, it's about them not trusting you. So this must be a trap. A 5GB trap.

Higher failure rate than a Detroit inner city high school?


Less than 25% of high school freshmen currently attending the average Detroit high school will go on to graduate (worst failure rate in the U.S. .... even though teachers there get paid the highest average education salaries in the nation ... food for thought).

 

I thought it was topical considering the entire city just went bankrupt. To be fair though, Xbox 360's failure rate is actually no where near as high as Detroit's    : )

No they can't be trusted and neither can Sony who tries to hide facts.


Since when did Sony keep facts from us? They just didn't restrict us and kept making high quality exclusives. Microsoft and Sony are in no way equal when it comes to consumer thinking.

if the camera is just ment as a gaming/control tool, why don't they let me unplug it? last time i checked the camera always has to be plugged in even if you do something with the xbox-one where you don't need the camera. there has to be a reason for that and so far i have nothing heard or read from microsoft that would explain how an always online camera would be superiour to a camera that i simply can unplug. oh by the way: the xbox-one camera is not built in like a phone or laptop camera.

PSN hack ring a bell?



Trust in what capacity? MS are no more evil or worse than Sony, Google, Apple ect.

I gen think a lot of people are unhappy that gamer/press/people are softening towards MS now they've done so many uturns.

Call me simple but if MS would to do anything that would suggest they are using the camera to track you would  causes such a stir it would make the E3 fiasco seem like a kids party.  Yeah, I am going to doubt something like this will ever happen.  Not saying that MS couldn't just saying there is no profit from it if E3 and the whole NSA things didn't happen.
