It supposedly goes to "sleep" but is always listening... just not recording... If it "hears" a keyword or something that "wakes it up" it begins recording again.
and last but not least, people are already trying to take Microsoft to court by forcing them to offer a KINECT FREE experience... if consumers want. They claim it is illegal, and so far they appear to be right...
This is exactly what will happen... Microsoft will see they are still losing money and they will eventually patch out some of the crap policies because the "fans requested it." (roll eyes)
I never thought I would say this... but I truly believe that pirating the X1 may actually SAVE their gaming department... kinda backwards huh?
