Xbox Live Strip Poker
Gamespot got their hands on the Xbox Live Vision Camera. It’s going to be released September 19 and will retail for $39.99.
Let’s just go ahead and ask the obvious question, we are all adults here. How long is it going to take people to start getting a game of strip poker together? Or, in general, just do inappropriate things?
Will the Xbox Live Camera become the mainstream media’s next MySpace? Full of sexual predators and deviants who will destroy middle America’s youth?

They have stated that there will be some limitations on the camera. While you can use any photo as your gamerpic, it will only be seen be people on your friends list.
Public rooms won’t be too racy, as most people will self police those, but in the private rooms? LOL I wonder. You know it’s bound to happen and it will blow up in the media when it does.
The thing is, most kids have had access to computers and web cams for quite a while, so this isn’t really going to be that new for them, but I’m sure there will be some bad apples in the bunch.
Hence the, “Will the Xbox Live Camera become the mainstream media’s next MySpace? Full of sexual predators and deviants who will destroy middle America’s youth?” In mainstream media, computers are still the territory of “adults” and that’s why webcams are fine, but consoles are for “children.” I’m not concerned about the children, I’m concerned about the spin – it’s amazing what can happen in a FOX news television studio on a slow news day.
Consoles are for children? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Have you ever looked at gamer demographic statistics? The average console gamer's age is around 30. This is the atari/NES generation.
