@Sampawende They wanted to pass it off like you could take it out so that people would be satisfied, when in reality you can only 'turn it off', which I don't trust. Remove the goddamn camera, Microsoft. Stop with your privacy-invading agenda and just make games again, you fascist pigs.

@anomaly3001 As I already said to you once before, the Wii proved that hardcore gamers ARE your fanbase, and you shouldn't alienate them. The Wii peaked within two years and became a joke quite quickly, mostly because of the lack of software on the console. But then again, lack of software is due to lack of true gamers, and not soccer moms who want to pretend they're bowling.

@t3ero2zero @Grayle You can't disconnect the Kinect from the console, it's built into it. There's no way to take it out.

@spartanx169x @yearssomuch @DiamondDM13 For the third time, you can't disconnect the Kinect. It's built into the console, and there's nothing you can do about it.

@JohnClark_R6 @yearssomuch @megaanto Paranoid, or enlightened?

You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to see the obvious deception Microsoft intends with this endeavor.

@spartanx169x @kevin_42 Once again, the Kinect is built into the system and you can't unplug it. So have fun.

Oh, and has anyone else happened to notice that the free games Microsoft is giving away to Gold members is only going to last until the end of 2013? After that, they're doing away with this 'feature'.

Ah, Microsoft will do whatever they can to get on a gamers good side...

@DarkReign2552 @Sun-Tzu-GE But.. you can't unplug the Kinect. It's built into the console.

@spartanx169x @DiamondDM13 Yet it's still being forced onto those who don't want it.

@megaanto As I've said in previous comments, the X1's primary agenda is privacy invasion. So it's no surprise in the slightest that they won't release a Kinect-less model.
