the hard time you give to kinect, you should also give it to google glass or smartphones or for those thousands of free aplications that Snowden proven to be used for spying (not only the USA, but every single goverment that can do it )...So, will you stop using ur smatrphone? will kinect be a bad invention? the answer is no!, privacy nowdays will never be as the old days, just deal with it or turn amish (not saying that it is ok, just saying its a fact that will never change)

@Mercadeo

The amount of data browsers, search engines, cell phones, and banks gather from their users far far exceeds that of which Kinect will gather. If the kinnect wants to spy on me having sex or spy on my white blank wall thats fine with me then. Guess people forgot that a smart phone is with you every where you go and apps track tons of information about you. Guess b/c kinect has a camera that is always on as opposed to a invisible tracking device that monitors every purchase and location and creates a database about all that info and caters to customers based on patterns (google or a credit card), people are more aware of the camera. Or just being dumb ass fanboys looking to bash MS.

@grove12345 Hey, I made a petition. Please take the time to read through it, and if you would like please share it with whoever you know that would like to sign it. Thank you very much.


Goal: Help establish a mod-market for console games.


In an effort to form a more perfect market for both the producer and consumer, we the people hear by stand against the liquidity trap that holds our dollar hostage. We wish to incite the reclamation of our beloved culture as the forerunners to the Magnum Opus out of this oversaturated market. With us we bring hope to the crass atmosphere that envelope the developers of our fine culture and heritage. No longer will they be cut out; with your help no longer will they be lost in their proclivity. With their profit margins widened we stand. With 3rd party retailers we wage fiscal warfare. We need, and you want, a market where your developers get the funding they want and need. With such reclamation we need a leader.

We ask only that our skilled youth have their go, just as they will in the self-published indie game’s market.

@grove12345 Exactly. though I'd rather have no one gathering information about me, I'm just a college kid making close to minimum wage like most gamer's- there's not much there to hide, ya know? Mostly "dumb ass fanboys" like you said

I like how the devs complain about CoD players bullying but do nothing about the worst bullies in those games using hacks and screwing with LITERALLY the whole community. But encouragin those aholes makes them money so screw it I guess.

@Kelleyb4947 @leviathanwing @stanknuggetz12 stats are fun... especially when you make them up. its also funny how you didnt point out that some ms xbots want to try and pretend that it, the kinect, will revolutionize gaming... because 2.0 will do what 1.0 couldnt, or are using it as a we got this and sony doesnt have it in box for ps4. without anyone pro kinect in your equation fully 100% of everyone doesnt want the damn thing... so why is ms putting it in there?

@leviathanwing @stanknuggetz12 49.9% the people freaking out about the Kinect are documented Sony Fanboys, and the other 49.9% are paranoid- the .2% are people doing illegal things that don't want to be seen by the gov't...

Lower the price of the XBOX ONE to $200.00 US, and then I'll buy one.

Here's how used games work, game 4-6 hours playtime, will usually end up as a second hand buy. A game that doesn't have a higher playability of 10 hours plus isn't something to keep, unless it's a super Indie jam. Cheers!

@TURBO-BURNER @Krauklis @popegtr You can make a pc for $500 that will play blockbuster video games, play Bluerays, stream tv, have 1080p skpe, and motion controls? That will be able to do those things for the next 10 years?

The reason that some game companies don't want to sell used games is actually a common problem in our economy, often discussed by this economist:

http://www.cepr.net/index.php/beat-the-press/


Corporations want secure patent protection, and patent protection has increased. It makes games more expensive (and all kinds of software), but it's far more damaging in pharmaceutical drugs, where they can keep a patent for many years.

This idea of owning a product/idea for many years and have complete control over it is why Microsoft originally wanted to require you to constantly log in.
