I feel I have to give props to VG Cats..... how the heck did this guy see it coming I will never know

 

[Schlagwerk]

Yeah, guys, don't get confused, they aren't uploaded automatically and you can delete them:

http://igxpro.net/2010/11/07/in-case-dance-central-took-naked-photos-of-you-we-have-the-solution/

They're stored locally, you agreed to an EULA, not a breach of privacy, just FUD, etc, etc, etc.

 

[Ghengis John]

Brilliant.

So you play a game and so long as it's connected to the internet it takes and publishes photos to the community. The only way to get the pictures removed is to start a thread and hope someone with access to the database randomly passes by and offers help?

No thanks. What the hell were harmonix thinking? you should have to at least choose which pictures you want to upload. Naked or not that was a stupid, stupid idea.

Huh? Did we read the same story? Who said anything about it publishing photos to a community? The guy went to the community with a question about the pictures, but they were not published anywhere. They were on his Xbox there, man. It takes them as like, a party aspect so you can see how goofy you look dancing. Though in my worst nightmares they are gathering all of our images for some nefarious purpose. Perhaps Kinect seems to work like magic because of some dark pact?

I was afraid to click on the link cause I thought there would actualy be a picture, but then I realized how silly that would be.

 

[Estocavio]

Now id be amused if it pulled a stunt like auto-uploading snaps taken to some kind of serverboard, as replays

In all seriousness, why does it even do that? It couldnt possibly have a use for this feature.

 

[Booze Zombie]

Pardon me for using this, but it seems appropriate:
LOL

 

[Gamegodtre]

I foresee a really weird/awesome brand of porn on the internet very soon.

so im not the only one who though off avatar porn.....

 

[jimduckie]

gee thanks for the warning , i'd probably knock stuff over but for the girls playing naked it's ok , they don't need to worry ... much ... lol

 

[Atmos Duality]

Predictable.
Honestly, private homes with cameras? Who WASN'T thinking "Ok, inevitable Wang-Shot in 3...2...1..."

 

[sunpop]

And this, my friends, is why I will never buy Kinect.

Really that's the reason, I feel there are many other reasons to never even consider buying it.

 

[Wintermoot]

...but I like playing games naked...,nah just joking kinda weird a game makes picture of you without permission

 

[dirt_empire]

Reading this makes me want to dance naked with my Kinect all the more. If for nothing else, just to freak out my XBL friends in the event they get published on XBL.

I swear the god there was a webcomic strip that predicted this from miles off.

AHA!

It's somewhat disturbing that this was intended as simple humour that eventually ended up telling the future.

ALL HAIL VGCATS AND THEIR PSYCHIC ABILITIES!

 

[Bad Jim]

A game targeted at teenage girls and it takes pictures without warning? What were they thinking?

 

[ReaperzXIII]

The Kinect shares pictures with its Kinect buddies that it made back during basic training in Microsoft, its the only thing that give them joy.

 

[RaikuFA]

so thats why chris hansen keeps on driving by my house

 

[VanityGirl]

Well you never know.

You can drop the "naked" part from the headline and just say "Warning: Don't Play Dance Central." Same effect really. Naked pictures of yourself is just icing on the poo-flavored cake of listening to bad music and moving around like you're some kind of mentally challenged monkey while thinking that crap you're doing is dancing.

I take it you haven't actually played Dance Central and are just spewing mindless vitriol at the game because you disapprove of Kinect and/or the 360 console.

Dance Central is actually quite good from what I've heard... unfortunately the Kinect doesn't come out for another week in Australia so it's going to be awhile before I find out first hand.
