ur very right in that the benifits outway the risks. i mean this could revolutionize a lot of things. a lot of us have largly unused internet conections and this could finally put video phones into use. imgaine actually talking to and seeing the guy from the other side of the contry thats in ur clan, talking to grandma (although why she has a 360 would be beyond me), etc. the list goes on. i think if they pull it off right it will be one of the best and most used features (other than gameing) of live. (it would be even beter if there were a client u could download or even a reduced live subscription u could get to do this on ur comp, with ppl on there xbox's)

Im starting to shift to your point of view Bogus8, I think im definetely over analyzing this . Im only 24 and I don't think I have fully grasped how many things kids are being exposed to at an earlier and earlier age these days.

It's an understandable kneejerk reaction but yeah there are TONS more things out there to be worried about kids stumbling on... like going to the .com of the whitehouse vs the .gov
as for people who are ugly, disfigured, or would have reasons to be insulted on the web cam, i dont think they would buy one. we all know there will be insults and problems even though their is nothing wrong with the person, the one insulting will find reasons (race, age, acne, sex) but it would be so easy to just report it and give them the boot.
Yeah, I will look see you from a different point of view on the scene Bogus8.
Xbox 360 is only for gaming, the webcam is just an option that some gamers will use to web cam with friends. My brother lives in Greece and is buying an Xbox 360 so the web cam feature will be excellent for our communication. One thing I dont want to see on Xbox live is live porn with some fat sluts. A computer and Xbox 360 are two different things.
hey fat ppl need love too, they just gota pay

I dont see it being a problem just because if you get out of line someone can always report you and you can get banned....the only thing i dont like is the feedback option on the current xbox just because im sure people lie just because you murder them on a sports game and leave you negative feedback and you can probably get the boot or suspended.....as far as the cam i dont really care if its a realtime feed i think its fine to just record 15 sec's or just have a still pic if you want to post it...other than that i think it isnt so great do you really want to look at other guys to see them as they speak.....a cool feature with the cam would be say you are in a clan ...you can have all your crew in like a picture in picture all on the same screen that would be sweet....not that one on one deal.or even in a lobby if you come out by your screen name..
Really i dont think it will be a big deal. Just like on the computer i have a webcam and its not like im sucked into pron chatrooms or anything. I just think we make more of it than it is. yeh there will be ppl who put up some pics but their ass will prolly be banned. nothing new to worry about all of this was said back when the computer got webcams...
They should have the rooms set up, like 18+,kids, and so on. It would be good if there was a finger print reader that came with the premium package so that kids wouldnt be able to access all the adult rooms.

Ya know, I have actually thought about this too. I am a female gamer, and I probably will not ever use the cam. I am not some "fat chick gamer" nor anyone with a physical abnormality or anything like that....I'm just me. But being a "normal" female in the gaming world is hard enough...let alon worrying about some dude trying to strike up a hot n' steamy 360 cam date. I know the majority of male gamers aren't like that, but you also have to admit that there are still a bunch that are.
When is the cam supposed to come out?
