"It's gonna happen no matter what so why fight it"
Brilliant life strategy.
Yeah, buying PS4 instead of an XBOX because big brother is out there, while still posting on a device that has the same tech built into it is fighting the POWER.
What is it exactly that you are fighting? I just really don't get that you think the PS4 wont be doing just as much profiling on you as microsoft. What service do you use for e-mail? cloud storage? do you have credit cards? ever send texts or use IM's? Facebook, Twitter? ever search for anything on the internet before via bing, google, ask, etc? If you live out of this bubble, but manage to post on here please tell me your tricks.
I dont take the stance of if you have nothing to hide, why do you care if people know what you're doing. I even believe we are under a government/corporate structure that is 1 step away from being 100% fascism, but I will get an Xbox One eventually. And when I do, I will have no problem leaving my kinect plugged in. This is a difficult discussion, and i probably agree with you on a lot of points. I just dont see how to live a productive lifestyle and not use these services. I get the x-box is the easiest one to cut out, but i dotn see it doing much good personally.
To each his own i guess. Enjoy your PS4.
