It's like you ignored everything that was just said.

It still has to be plugged into the console. A console which runs on a version of windows.

Webcams are very easy to hack and can be turned on remotely from another location. It's unlikely, but this is a problem. Some entry level hacker could turn it back on and get his rocks off to someone's family.

Does that not alarm you?

Which is insanely easy considering a version of Windows is one of the three operation systems on the console.

(I think? Can't recall.)

Was that around it's launch? When I bought my PS3 from best buy it was only $300. It was a slimmer version.

Either way that definitely is over priced, but you get what you pay for I guess. My PS3 didn't repeatedly break because of a RROD.

I loved my 360, but I wish it was built a bit better.

Oh they very well could, I'm just proposing an example that won't have people laugh off those of us actually concerned.

They don't want to believe someone like the NSA would watch us? Fine. But "ordinary" people spying on you? A very real threat.

People act like everyone worried about the Kinect is a paranoid conspiracy theorist. People, it's not Microsoft or even the "guvment" that we fear watching or listening to us.

Webcams are notoriously easy to hack for anyone who knows what they're doing on a PC. Even when off, they can be turned on remotely if plugged in. Considering the Kinect still has to be connected for the Xbox One to function correctly, that is what poses a problem.

Have fun being watched and listened to by some pervert with basic hacking skills.

SIDEFX1 makes a valid point.

So just because things are already pretty bad we should just sit back and forfeit the right?

Your logic is flawed.

One thing is certain, this guy knows how to groom his facial hair. Props to him.

Just looking at him I can tell he knows his stuff.

I refer to the DRM as a whole and not just one side of it. Now it is purely up to the Devs or publishers, but previously the console itself contained it's form of DRM.

You had the 24 check ins every day, the Kinect being required to be on at all times, etc.

It wasn't about just the games, but the console as well.

Brand loyalty is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. Why ANYONE would swear loyalty to a corporation is beyond me.

Trust and respect? Most definitely. But loyalty?

(This is an extremist example, but just making a point.)

God forbid the Xbox Infinity (should such a console ever exist) requires a microchip implanted for the user to make it function. Would these fools defend even that?
