@TheJBerger51 Wow, aren't you special. Reviews are a tool to help you make the decision. Gamespot doesn't claim to have infallible, supernatural authority to dictate your opinion to you. The very fact you're free to post your dimwitted feedback here shows their willingness to be accountable for what they do. It's only the consequence of your own ineptitude if you can't even understand what that is.
@bluepuppy82 The difference is that MS is a known NSA collaborator, and the kinect has been revealed to do things like monitor eye movement, listen to conversation, identify individuals and sense how many people are in the room. Not that I think the government would have reason to take particular interest in my personal activities, but it's all way, way, way too creepy for me to consider buying the console.

@Dissentioncc @Nemesis_47 To play devil's advocate, the continuing lineage of kings and queens is a deeply rooted aspect of English cultural identity. Although it may carry a vapid modern tabloid media swarm fan following, surely bringing it to an end outright would take something away about being English. Just a thought
From '1984' by George Orwell: "The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment."
@nurnberg lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who was reminded of 1984 by Kinect 2.0. From the novel: "The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment."
"A new wave of gaming where you could buy games digitally, then trade, share or sell those digital licenses."
Anybody know what this means? I thought the reversed policies were the 24 hour online check in requirement and RESTRICTING the trading, sharing, and selling of games.
