Of course you can unplug it... but..Microsoft has made it so the console is rendered useless and unusable.

 

Because this is what all of us gamers have been asking for ..right?

I've always said it is sort of freaky having an always-on high-def camera looking into your life at all times.

I really feel the same way about this. The system is on all the time right? This doesn't seem right to me. Otherwise I don't think I'd mind it. .I do think that a lot of the features make life much more simpler. A lot of the stuff that was showcased was pretty useless for a gaming system though. All of the multitasking stuff just makes you dumber. I always wanted to try Kinect and I think it could be fun to play some sports games but you know you're paying for that thing too. The system will probably be a fortune.

This and always online are for me the two biggest issues with the Xbox One. I was already not that comfortable with the idea of Kinect, and now having this mandatory Kinect being shoved down our throats is not making me happy one bit. Even when the console is powered off, the Kinect is supposedly going to be listening constantly. Call me paranoid but I don't feel comfortable throwing my privacy out the window by having this thing in my room.

No, someone else made it. Thought I'd change it to my sig, but apparently the filesize is too big so I have to find a way to shrink it or change it.

I really think that the camera is off while its sleeping. the only think is on is the microphone and the computers is set to start listening when someone says xbox + on. Every thing else is thrown away. think about it. if the camera was rungging the whiole time there would be a nice radiation of head comming from the console and the camera it's self.

Everyone feel so uptight about their "privacy", nobody going to spy on you..

wanna know why? because you are nobody and no one cares about what you do in front of your Xbox

it will be just be a waste of time for the companies to watch your boring life.

...as far as i know, the xbox kinect is not recording anything or sending data to anyone, its just a active camera and mic sensor in order to function when you stand in front of the thing or speak to it.  I dont like the xbox one and kinect for other reasons, but come on, the paranoia is ridiculous.
