PRISM is a joint surveillance program between the US government some of the biggest tech corporations. Microsoft is the first and the founding member of the program

Kinect 2.0 is smart camera that can monitor your every move, your every behaviour down to your heart beat. It harnesses your habitual information for whatever purpose they can use later

I want to see the tech work, there so much more the Kinect can do given the chance. I think too many people are taking Prism was too serious.

If it troubles you that much, don't buy the damn system. If you buy it and are still troubled, unplug it

Of course I don't trust MS.. they have a long history of being very shady. I fully expect to see articles on how the kinect was used to track people down and arrest them. have a warrant for your arrest? Kinect can scan your face, if they link it to the police database they could find a match then come get you. Recently on facebook a kid made a joke to a friend.. some lady in another country saw it and reported it thinking it was possibly a real thing.. well now the kid is facing almost a decade in prison.. just for typing something stupid that was obviously a joke. Kinect could be used to get you arrested and charged for saying things you don't really mean.. soon you won't be able to even make a joke in your own house.. Yeah... I won't be buying xbox one with with spy device. Anyone who supports this is asking for their freedoms to be taken away.

If you happen to murder your neighbors in your living room while your kinect is broadcasting to the world you are an idiot! Likewise if you believe your kinect will be a threat to your personal privacy your still an idiot.

What do you do in your living room that is worth spying on you for anyway?

If you don't like it don't buy it

If you like X1 but hate spying, unplug it

Put tape over it

You are already being spied on from various different sources already

Fap in front of it every single night and MS will no want to look anymore

"do you trust" topics are proof that there can be no logical conversations with you dudes and that everything to you is some big drama queen emotionally wrenching cry fest.

It surprises me how many still think this is a conspiracy theory & calling others idiots for believing in it, when Obama himself declared it as fact.

And equaly surprises me how many aren't getting the concept of personal privacy =/= illegal activity.

"why should you worry if you're not doing something wrong" is equally absured to "let me install a camera in your bathroom, why should you care if you're not doing something wrong".

The herd mentality level of intellect is really alarming in our society.

Thanks. I couldn't put it better myself. From what I can tell, most of these plebs would be perfectly fine with having strange men and women standing in their homes, watching over their every move. Most fascinating what the proles see as acceptable.

This is a very sad thread There are loads of things you can do with the Kinect sensor if you are so paranoid. The easiest being unplug the console from network/power when not in use. You can turn it all off in settings. Microsoft want to sell Xbox One and Kinect so you can enjoy the experience not get spied on. They just wouldn't risk it, it would be easy for a tech to figure out. All companies record infomation of you and if you didn't trust companies involved in the prism scandal you wouldn't own a mobile phone and I bet you all do.

Hey, Sony is reliable! Just look at stupid M$ and how they tried f***ing gamers with DRM! Sony only designed the ultimate DRM disc because they could! It's not like they'll ever use it sometime in the future one day! They didn't totally say second hand games need to be dealt with! And also, 500 dollars for the Xbox Done?! HA! Sony would never stoop so low. Sure they charged way more for the PS3 originally, but... it was worth it? Yeah! It was worth it! (this is all Sarcasm. Sony is just as evil as Microsoft)

I don't understand why people equate virginity with being pathetic.  It ain't all that hard to get laid.  What's pathetic is to not be a virgin because the person did it largely due to peer pressure.  I have friends that regret their first times and that wish they had waited.  Once it's gone, it's gone.  You shouldn't look down on someone for it.

Microsoft does more than video game consoles. Take that as you will.
