This is a quote from a website talking about it:

To increase interactive viewing and encourage a user to watch one or more particular items of video content, awards and achievements may be tied to those items of video content.
Producers, distributors, and advertisers of the video content may set viewing goals and award a viewer who has reached the goals.

By providing content viewing goals and awarding the viewer for reaching the goals, the present disclosure provides for an interactive television viewing experience.

Additionally, by tying the awards and achievements to particular items of video or advertising content, viewers may be encouraged to increase their viewership of the content, thus increasing advertising opportunities.

Whether or not this patent becomes a reality remains to be seen but even if it does materialise it is likely to be an opt in option.

So it's doubtful that Kinect will always be watching you, and even if it does, it's likely to give you choice of whether you want it (Not that many would, obviously)

You do know that it is required to have a kinect plugged in at all times for the xbox to work right?

Its honestly the stupidest soundest console every. Region locked games, pay for used games, games are locked to accounts and have to pay to use it on another then its locked to the other account, and its all just more and more ********. Its not even about gaming anymore it seems. I just want to throw a disc in and game for a bit not all this bull.

you are about the 10th person i have to correct on this matter in the last few days.

Yes it requires the kinect be plugged in at all times but it CAN be turned off aslong as its plugged in.

about second hand games, its already been confirmed by Major nelson on twitter that it will NOT cost you anything to play a second hand game.

Please before stating facts at least check they are correct.

Did I say it has to be on at all times? Nope, didnt think so. i said it has to be plugged in. And here bud, maybe you should look up your facts. I wont even do a link to a certain website because its everywhere [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I would like to see where Nelson said this, becase if he did all of these major sites(Including yahoo) are posting false information. Thanks

Xbox had a great system with this on the Xbox 360.

They let you record gameplay but not movies, such as netflix and hulu.

I highly doubt that they will make it to where people can't record because the gaming industry on youtube is basically a HUGE free advertising site for them and all their games.

NOW, you will have to upgrade your recording device because the Xbox One will only support HDMI.

That means HDPVR, HDPVR Gaming editions, Dazzles, etc.
will not work.

HDPVR 2, HDPVR Gaming Edition 2, Elgato, etc. Will work.

I don't care this year I'm going to PC.
