What does everyone think about the Kinect? Initially I thought it is a cool idea and might evolve the gaming world but then I actually thought about the games I play and Microsofts policies and I am not so sure anymore. I can't actually think of any situations where I will use the kinect and enjoy doing so, all of the games I play require fast gamepad movements and button combinations which I dont think I could do though movements. so that just leave Wii type games.. which I don't play.
Now Microsofts policies at monitoring us while we play and watch content and them being able to sell that data afterwards (no personal data attached to you = pixelated faces). This leaves me wondering if MS is just trying to get me to buy a perpherial which I am not going to use much and will be used in the major part to generate MS revenue through selling said data, which is a HUGE business. I would just like to know what everyone else thinks and if there is a situation the Kinect will be useful please tell..

I can see Microsoft getting sued for this kind of thing. They cant just do as they wish, consumer rights groups would tear this apart.

And Microsoft doesn't check to see if these reports are right ?
the first question should be proof? because he is lying. How am I supposed to post proof? Seriously. There is no real reason for me to lie, it happened and talking to other people online its a fairly common thing to happen. Maybe its something that happens on COD Zombies. I don't know anyone outside that community that it has happened to but then I don't play many online games.
Do you honestly believe MS will check all reports, it takes time to check this and time is money. Its cheaper to just issue a temporary ban. I'm just ranting online, I just keep hearing negative details about the Xbox One release and it annoys me. I loved the PS2 but changed to the 360 as I thought Sony were too big headed and took a lot of liberties with the console, "We know better than the consumers" mentality. Microsoft seem to be taking that route with the Xbox One but in a much bigger way!! I'm all for going digital media and even removing the used games market but some of MS's decisions seem ridiculous, this being one of them if they don't change it before release.
Wow guys.. I think I just lost all respect for Microsoft.
If you get banned from Xbox Live on the Xbox One you will lose access to any and all game licenses tied to your account.
Now this has been one of the biggest questions regarding the Xbox One: What happens to your games when you get banned if they're tied to your Xbox Live account? Well, now you have an answer...you lose your games.
With the question posed by a Mark Doherty to the Xbox One support staff on Twitter, he asked them If my XBOX LIVE account was banned, would I continue to have access to my XBOX ONE games?, to which the response from the official Xbox Support staff was...
"If your account is banned, you also forfeit the licenses to any games that have licenses tied to it as listed in the [Terms of Use]."

Have you read the article I posted. They definitely said you lose your games.. 100%, they then went back on this and said it was not true. You can't take back a comment like that though, doesn't matter if its Major Nelson, hes just a figurehead employed to say what Microsoft want him to!

that may be the threshold to investigate but that is not what gets you banned.
I have had a temporary ban playing COD immediately after a zombie match where a group of kids have threatened to get me banned. Never been banned before and never done anything wrong. The mods or whoever it is just ban you because its faster than actually investigating anything.
Really.. you guys think its ok for Microsoft to stop you playing all the games you purchased because you get banned from Xbox Live! Dont get me wrong I think they should ban people for cheating and such BUT to take away all the games they bought, potentially thousands of pounds, is just ridiculous!

Why would one get banned ?
