I mentioned this to my brother and he had a surprisingly positive view about it. He said, paraphrasing a bit here, "This is actually pretty smart. They could release brand new movies, ones that are still in theaters, on the Xbox and still make their $10 per person watching since the Kinect could detect how many people are in the room."

In theory it's a nice idea, but I doubt it will happen since you could just point your Kinect at a wall. Or, if it needs at least one person in range to start the content, point it at one person sitting slightly apart from the rest, and every one else outside of the Kinect's field of vision.

So yeah, just felt like sharing that.

Personally I find the idea that we have to subvert our own technology, which we have willing paid for, to be quite horrifying. This should not have to be something we need to do. Do we really have to try and outwit a machine every time we want to watch tv now?
