bennybingo Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 http://kotaku.com/56...de-your-privacy "By default we don't listen or look at anything," MIcrosoft's director of the Kinect technology, Alex Kipman, told Kotaku in a recent interview. "No data is ever sent back to Microsoft. Period. Full stop." I guess that a lot has changed since 2010...Bill Gates left the company and Big Brother was named the new CEO! All hail the ministry of truth!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotterpop Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 "I hate Big Brother!" "No. You must love him." I agree with Keatah 1984%. Does Microsoft really expect us to put up with this crap??? Christ, I just want to play some new games without having to deal with all this DRM and spyware bullshit. And don't count on Sony being this "white knight" alternative, either. I'm sure they've got something just as devious planned but are not showing their cards out of fear of the backlash that Microsoft is currently receiving. Remember that RFID patent they filed earlier this year? Now what could that possibly be used for... ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they're completely innocent, but rather the (much) lesser of three evils. That, or Ouya. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big N might have to step in once again and save the industry from itself like it did back in the 80's. It'll be interesting to see how the WiiU repositions itself this holiday season once the new rival consoles roll out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but it has been my suspicion all along that the Nintendo has been holding out on a number of games, in preparation for the onslaught of new consoles. If they come out swinging this Christmas with a kick ass lineup and a better price point on their system (when compared to MS and Sony), they may just turn the tides. Time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I have no plans on buying a new Xbox (nor do I even have a broadband Internet connection at my apartment), but how difficult would it be to get around the Kinect "spying" on users? I would think that a well-placed sheet or towel draped over the sensor would limit its ability to keep tabs on someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that a well-placed sheet or towel draped over the sensor would limit its ability to keep tabs on someone. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there wasn't some deeply hidden bit in the TOS you'll have to agree to that says preventing the Kinect from gathering the info it "requires" would be a violation of said TOS.

Emehr Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 If there wasn't a potential market for this, MS wouldn't be doing it. The trick is to not create a market for it by not buying it. It's really that simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I was just kidding, but this might actually happen if you can believe those articles: Movie companies should also fix it so Blu-ray discs will not play unless your Blu-ray player is connected to the Internet. You'll have to pay a viewing fee every time you watch after the first viewing. It's only fair. You got your 2 hours, plus many more hours of special features. If you want to go to a Broadway play more than once, you'll have to buy a ticket every time. The actors won't work for free after your first visit, so why should movie actors work for free when you watch a Blu-ray movie more than once? The fee will probably be less than 10 dollars and that's cheap for something that will give you another 2+ hours of entertainment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they come out swinging this Christmas with a kick ass lineup and a better price point on their system (when compared to MS and Sony), they may just turn the tides. Time will tell. Rumor has it that they'll have a new 3D Mario, Mario Kart, and the HD remake of WindWaker out in the fall. IMO they should drop the price of the deluxe down to $300 and keep Nintendoland as a pack-in. A ''new'' $300 console with a game vs new $400+ consoles full of anti-consumer tech and no backwards compatability? I think they'd do fine.

Keatah Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Just having a camera in a box connected to the internet spooks me. We're at Defcon 3. I can see online psycho-therapy sessions happening here. And interactive instructionals on how to knock up the old ball and chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yep all cameras are evil. My brother would not use my wii u cause he thought the camera on there is sending info to the chinneese. They all have mics cameras all on when your playing. Attention no orgys in the gameroom!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
