Kinect is definitely something I feel people have been overreacting about, especially since it came out that there are different modes to have it in and that the camera can in fact be shut off.

Here's what a good console should do. Be durable, unsophisticated, good games.

Do you own an iPhone?  Just saying...

Lol, that is nothing. And it's mainly for connection purposes. Why do you single out iPhone? Android and WP8 does the same. And every cellphone, also non-smartphones, has always been perfectly traceable. That crime-fiction and TV-series pretended they were not, was just a lie to fool criminals. And it worked very well for a long time.

Google is the world champion of tracking users, by a margin you wouldn't believe.
Their spying stuff is ingrained in everything they do and provide to people for *free*. Because People are NOT their customers. The business who are extorted big money, to still be relevant on the business playing field, which Google is making NOT level, are. People are just the gullible fool that makes it possible for them to do that. And at the end, for consumers, the products Google provide for *free*, are the most expensive there are, in each class. It's just that we all have to pay, regardless if we use their stuff or not.

I've never latched onto any game gizmos outside a standard controller. No Move, no Kinect, no PS Eye... blah.


Even the 6 axis PS3 crap annoyed me.

I had to ask since cell phones apparently started getting this stuff in the mid-90's when I was just a kid.
Born in 91', folks.

Cell phones didn't really take off at all until the very late 90's (in the USA.)  It wasn't until the aughts that you saw the "1 in 3" or greater penetration of cellular phones.  Unless you consider the top ten-fifteen percent of society to be enough to count as something "everyone" has.

The vast majority of people didn't have cell phones in the 90's.  Despite Mulder and Scully running around with them in X-Files.  They were FBI agents.

If that is nothing, the Kinect camera is nothing.  And a national database of gun ownership is nothing.  And RFID chips are nothing.

So there's nothing to discuss.

I single out iPhone because it's extremely popular, and Apple is quite often in court on privacy invasion charges.

You spelled "SNES" wrong.

My precious PS2 was amazing and you, Jimmah, tried to take that away from me.

Nooooo

Well, my gist was supposed to be that it's already too late.

But no, I won't let Kinect 2 into my house.
It's not even mainly about MS's intentions, which I believe are always going to be limited in evilishness.
But what about hackers? They will have a grand party with all them always on Kinect 2 and camera devices.

I'm reminded of the people who continued to willingly purchase the bulky, older PS2s over slim units because of the durability.

Cartridges>Cds when it comes to durability.

Also compatibility with the HDD, letting me backup my saves (and play FFXI once upon a time).

My PS2 slim is sooooo compact and sexy.

I think Sony got their stuff together with later slim models. I had an earlier one---as did a few friends---that overheated and locked up like crazy, forcing me to revert back to thick models.

3210 and 5110 Nokia's were damn good phones. I remember when they tried to make the phones smaller and smaller until it was damn silly.

Remember this?

I had a launch model fat PS2. Works to this day.

Say word! With the enhancements they have made in flash memory, I really don't see why console makers don't transition back to a cartridge format.

Cds are cheaper to produce sadly.

I have wondered about that as well. It's going to happen sometime... soon whatever 'physical' media you buy will be entirely on storage devices like flash drives. I can see them replacing discs of all kinds in a while.

[ShepnTali]

My launch fat PS2 kicked the bucket around 8 years in.


This is a similar Nokia model to my first cell phone in 2000, the brick that it was.

I do: production cost over durability, and the ease and expectation of replacing discs.
