Kinect is optional. Also to be frank, our electronic gadgets are just a privacy leak devices. Apple has biometric system profiles, Google Now is always capturing voice, Kinect is also the same. Our facial profiles are already in some database through social media. Voice signatures through Skype and Cell talks.
- TsiCClawOfLight 13y agohow is kinect optional? It's bundled and required.
- barake 13y agoIt is bundled, not required as of August. You can disable the Kinect in the settings or unplug it completely and the console will still function: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2013/08/12/microsoft-reverses-xbox-one-kinect-policy-gamers-can-now-unplug-motion-sensor/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2013/08/12/microsoft-re...
- deviltry 13y agoThen why the hell aren't they selling a core version without Kinect? That's my main gripe and I'm upgrading my xBox 360 to PS4.
- iamshs 13y agoIt is bundled, but you can choose to not plug it [1]. Kinect is useful in games like fitness and rival sports, besides obviously being used to add other functionality. Obviously, privacy implications are huge. [1] - http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/12/4615586/xbox-one-no-longer-needs-kinect-plugged-in http://www.theverge.com/2013/8/12/4615586/xbox-one-no-longer...
