How about the hundreds of 1TB external hard drives that can be bought anywhere in a modern civilisation? Stupid complaints...
Save games to the cloud? Practically limitless space as it is virtual storage that's already paid for. In addition, be able to play your games from any console via cloud.
@valknight @yearssomuch @Areez To watch you for that long would be insane and not physically possible. Think about the few billion people that transport data digitally on any device; not possible to monitor all of them so they would need a system that searching keywords, faces and codes that are suspicious and ONLY monitor them. The system would ignore your data/information completely if it doesn't catch their attention. Otherwise, it would be a waste of space, energy, man-power, money to keep an eye on everyone.
Unless you love to make terrorist/death threats on the internet, send blueprints for weapons, try to hack into programs or any kind of criminal act, then you're not being watched.
@valknight @RAMBOZOx At least I'm not the only one that finds the crying and whining annoying. If a company gives you the information, put two and two together, be open minded, look at the possibilities that would occur. E.g HDMI-in on the box + amazing multitasking + USB drive = Big screen mode for Steam + switching between steam and Xbox.
@valknight @RicanV May I just point out that there is no such thing as DDR5. DDR3 is the most powerful of the DDR's until they release the 4. GDDR5 is the most powerful of the GDDR's.
Simple break down - as both have exclusive benefits. DDR3 can multi task a lot more efficiently than the GDDR5 and doesn't heat up as fast. GDDR5 can render worlds faster and create higher graphical fidelity compared to the DDR3.
However, in the long run, the graphics lost in the DDR3 will be made up for using Microsofts new software "Tiled Resources". In basic terms, it places very small "tiles" with very high resolution to create a bigger image and gets more detailed the closer you get. Therefore, it uses less memory yet , apparently, has 10x better graphics than if the tiles weren't used.
@FAIL_TR0LL @racerxgundam To watch or observe each and every person that comes into contact with a camera or device that collects, receives or delivers data is absurd. Why?
1) Not physically possible.
2) Waste of time.
3) Waste of money.
A device that has surveillance capabilities would use a face, voice or keyword recognition system. (Skips past all unimportant data and locates anything suspicious) E.g picture of a dead body, video of the wielding of a dangerous weapon, a terrorist threat on facebook (remember that case about the LoL player?)
Sure you get observed...for about a millisecond after which it ignores you and moves on to the next set of , photos, videos or messages until it finds someone that actually poses a government/company threat.
@Qmajinbuu @JynxGSpot @Richrward22 @bloodynapkin You cannot tell me for sure that you know each and every bit of data delivered and received is saved and stored forever. Heard of bytes? Yeah - a lot of them cost money. Even more of them cost more money. Photos and videos take up the most space;300 million photos are uploaded to facebook. That's a lot of memory. If they were to store it all under lock and key, why the unnecessary ones? Like I have already said, using the CCTV like, face recognition, only the suspicious photos would be stored for possible threat or future investigation. As well as a waste of money, that could go towards developing and making the website better, that's a waste of power.
Aside from facebook, moving back to your main point about the xbox, if the Kinect were to be used as a surveillance device along side its motion control capabilities, it would use that recognition system that I've tried thoroughly to get into your head. Less than a millisecond scan of a face,not recognised as a threat, moves on, another millisecond scan, no threat, moves on, scan, finds a threat, proceeds to save location and "device" for later use. Seeing as, like you said, we pose no foreign threat, we don't get recognised and it never scans us again. That is the case if it ever were a surveillance device which I highly doubt.
@Qmajinbuu @JynxGSpot @Richrward22 Yes. Gaming does not relate to a foreign threat so there would be no fucking point to spy. If there is no point, then its a WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. You really think a country in debt would spend billions to watch people in their homes with very little to no beneficial outcome.
They don't spy on any American. Read my fucking comment; Its a recognition system. They use a recognition system so they can not waste time watching casual, normal people and spend their valuable time locating the people that are suspicious or are actually criminals. Copyrighting, piracy, stealing a key chain, while still bad, is not important when there are people out there that are actually posing a threat to the government. The system skips past us and locks on to the suspects.
@Qmajinbuu @Richrward22 @bloodynapkin If it doesn't relate to a foreign power, then why would they waste time to watch and observe you 24/7?
Its a recognition system for keywords or faces. Things like Skype or any Email provider will have keywords that the program searches for and just completely ignore anything that is irrelevant as it would be, like I said, a waste of time.
I'm assuming that is how anything with a video chat will work; a face recognition a lot like the one's you would see on CCTV or the face recognition when tagging people on a facebook picture.
Speaking of facebook, that would also use a keyword search to locate a suspicious post, message or comment. For example, remember that case of the kid that posted a "terrorist threat" on facebook. Facebook doesn't have employees that search through each and every comment, post, picture and message; they use the recognition much like there can't be someone watching your webcam at all times.
@Qmajinbuu @Richrward22 @bloodynapkin So your point is, "I'll buy a laptop, a phone, a webcam, an iPad, iPod, anything else with a camera but I won't buy the Kinect because it might watch me while I'm playing Skyrim with a blank expression that has no value to the government"
@Busta @LeoKRock Buy it from the market place to be able to sell the licence back digitally and get more of your money's worth back. Would you rather get $5 selling it back to gamestop or $20 giving it back to Xbox Live?
