Isn't it good that they collect info and advertise something you might actually like?

It is stated by the UN human rights is that people CAN NOT install hidden cameras unless They are cops getting evidence for a crime.[/QUOTE]
it's not a hidden camera and you willingly bought it, plus that law only applies to governments, plus the UN has basically no power to enforce it

How? How is it a bad thing?

No because then you get in game ads and shit like that
Plus its just not right...you don't spy on people especially after they paid you

They're going to put in game ads in there either way. I'd rather have them be related to my interests.
Buy Kinect and become to a porn star.
Just got that idea.
Back to the topic.
I think that this is wrong in many ways.
I think I'll redecorate my living room with a Sony theme.
[QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy18;26072680]What if it's a couple playing naked together[/QUOTE]
Oh noez! Microsoft is going to see them!!
[editline]15th November 2010[/editline]
Seriously, so what?
:tinfoil:
Whatever happened to the concept of privacy.
Doesn't Microsoft realize how many 13 year olds play naked? It's a growing trend. They'll pull off the greatest collection in history.
All they have to do is change the terms of agreement and they can probably get away with anything.
I think I've seen 2 of the wittiest comments in all of Facepunch in this thread.

This.
Ads will be there, but with this spying ads might actually interest me, which is better for both me and the company.
And even if they did see you naked, so what? First, why are you naked in front of kinect, and second, what you got such a tiny penis you're ashamed to show it to a console camera? If yes, DON'T FUCKING GO AROUND NAKED.
I mean wtf. It's like being angry because a street camera saw you naked because you undressed in front of it. If you're that paranoid, just make it face the wall while not in use.

Um, you are in your house, it shouldn't be spying on you, since that is illegal.

Google is spying on you while you use internet.
Same shit, except without visual feedback.
[QUOTE=c0nk3r;26076476]makes me want to screencap something nasty like :goatse: and stick it infront of the camera.
suck on that Microsoft!
also anyone remember the eyetoy on ps2?[/QUOTE]
They'll advertise prostate diagnostics to you.
I don't get what could be advertised unless they're all 'oh this asshole has tons of zits i'll send him zit cream adverts' .
Everyone at Microsoft is a genius (except for those fucking tech support Arab guys), and I don't mean this in a good way.
"GUYS, NOW THAT WE'VE MADE MILLIONS OFF OF XBOX 360, LET'S MAKE A NEW ONE THAT'S COMPATIBLE WITH OUR NEW CAMERA."
P.S., I hate XBOX 360.

that'd be fucked up
You know that even if they do this, a bot would process these images, right?

I'm kind of disturbed that the right of privacy is pretty much dead, at least in Europe apparently. Are you really suggesting that it's ok for a third party to have an active camera in your house to watch you? I mean fuck, this is the stuff dystopias are made of.
Invasion of privacy.
And if you do have a kinect device, just place a picture of gay porn in front of the camera when your not using it.

Even then they would need a warrant.

I wouldn't mind it, if it means more safety or convenience. People are just way too paranoid about this sort of thing.
It's funny how it says "could record" not "will record".
Any camera can record you.
Do you have a webcam? If yes, some malware might be recording you.
The only possible reason I would buy a kinect is to use the motion capture for animation or the like. I would never actually use the thing with a game. Let alone if it would start periodically looking at me.
