On the site they say that they'll be coming with a PVR that's got HD support sometime but those SA boxes cost way too much for me. I think I'll wait for something better.
No it didn't, but how much do you need to convince a government to have more powers?
If people who want to go to the US need an ID with either a fingerprint or an eye scan to get in the US, then how exactly was that gonna happen? Do you expect other governments to say "no we're afraid we don't like to collect more info on our citizens and we'll therefore ban our people from traveling to the US."?
Well I've seen this article and many other articles if you do proper research that'll give you a hint.
"Under the USA Patriot Act, passed by the U.S. Congress after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, all Canadian citizens and landed immigrants will need ID with either a fingerprint or an eye scan to get into the U.S."
And yet you come here and tell us it's not 9/11 that brought us here? How dumb do you think we are?
heuh? There isn't much of a difference. The US will use your face as biometric identification (this has been in development for quiet some time now) and EU will use your retinal scans.
How much will that cost you in taxes? Terrorists can always do the crime, it's not freakin complicated. They'll learn how to forge, hack and do whatever is needed.
And since I'm no terrorist, I won't be needing this card. Thank you very much!
I told you this was coming since the US put pressure on Canada to have National ID cards. I warned and warned and most people told me that they didn't care, there's nothing wrong with it. Now it'll be all over the world, try to escape if you can:)
400k is worldwide but it just came out in Europe a couple of months ago. I think there are like 6 million Xboxes, not exactly sure about the number. The price will still be $50/year.
They should concentrate on multiplayer games. It would be cool to be able to play Mario Tennis and Mario Kart online and it'd be even better if they had a voice communicator but yet again they don't seem to care. Why do I play my Xbox most of all? Because of its variety of voice-enabled multiplayer games.

The world is going mad. I'm getting sick and tired of all this patented crap.
I'm not sure I'm gonna download it but hey if I read some impressive reviews then I might. Come on people, let us know.
I agree. I love it. You won't regret your purchase that's for sure.

Especially the thing that transmits signs into plain english. I wonder what else they might have in store. Is it the first time MS does such a thing?

Let me make it a little clearer for you.
"...European biometric passports, by contrast, are planned to feature both retinal and fingerprint recognition biometrics on their smart cards"
This will not happen only in the US. I said long ago that it was coming everywhere and it is.
Ha they're already copying this one. Very secure indeed :)

Be prepared! I just don't understand how nobody is outraged.

I mean do we know for sure what exactly will the chip contain? It's not open source and we have no idea what kind of info will be put on this chip.
I'm pissed off.
Is the guy winning the fight for non-freedom or what? We're learning from him, not the other way around.

I don't see what gives them the right to spy on consumers. Do consumers have the right to spy on the government?
I remember playing a few Xbox Live games with a soldier stationed in Korea, that was like in december 2002.
I guess so, but my favorite game is Splinter Cell and I love the online enabled sports games.

The Xbox Live costs $50/year. That's like the cost of one game. Not much
I know that Xbox Live have over 400,000 subscribers, that's not bad at all. PS2 is planning to have more and more online enabled games.

Let's bomb them instead, God is telling me to bomb the poor countries just like he told Bush to bomb Afghanistan and Iraq.
Start by getting rid of your Mussolini-like president to begin with.
