Xbox 720/Durango Kinect

[cjspyres]

So, apparently there's the possibility that the new Xbox will charge per person whenever watching a movie or TV or whatever. The idea is that the new Kinect is absolutely mandatory to use the console, and that whenever you go to watch something, it will charge you per person. Now, I'm excited about this new hardware, but I mean...there's a limit. At least, this is what I believe. What do you guys think?

I think it's the dumbest and one of the greediest ideas I've ever heard of.

I can't see it happening, would just be a dumb and greedy move (well said Mr. Jensen). I wonder if we'll hear anything soon about the next Xbox since the announcement of the PS4?

I think it all depends on whether Microsoft can deal with the pressure from the fans. I certainly hope they put out a meeting for it, but I somehow feel they're going to wait for a con.

Sounds more like 'Generate some controversy and feed off the traffic the hate generates' than anything even remotely believable.

Not to mention the source is super reliable. Not at all someone who was raided by the FBI and police for his poor ethics.

That won't happen. If Microsoft admitted they were going to install a madatory independent camera in the living rooms of every person with their console that can't be switched off at will and actively monitors the people in the room, someone would object. Right?

This is troll bait (although MS should hurry up and announce if they want to avoid this sort of thing going round. It seems to be a game at the moment to think of the most negative features possible and assign them to the 720)

If that actually happens then FUCK THAT SHIT, I'll go full PC or maybe the steam console.
