It's probably just as easy to unplug it or turn it around as it is to put this piece of plastic on it.
Also, just sayin' - it probably should have been lead or something, to give consumers the faux feeling that it blocks out voice frequencies too - Microsoft can sees AND hears yous!
Prop a book up in front of it.
Or just furiously masturbate in front of it like I do. Wanna watch? Watch this, Microsoft!

it's pretty easy to simply unplug the camera from the back of the Xbox unit when you're not using it for a specific game or function... much cheaper too.
Kind of like how I put a piece of tape on my webcam when i look at pictures of boobs, just in case someone is watching.
This seems a little premature but there's no question that MS will go there in the future. They can't miss out on the Facebook/Google ad market for much longer. With all the bull$hit companies stealing your contact data and browsing info then pretending like they didn't know, it doesn't surprise me
I like xbudz answer. Also I would constantly moon the thing. Put on puppet shows. Healthy, normal, wholesome things
My Kinect is almost always staring at a bunch of Zelda posters, so if that leads to Zelda advertising on my Xbox 360, I welcome this invasion of privacy! Check me out in my boxers all day, Kinect!
There;s a magazine on mine right now so I can use the voice control without it constantly bothering me to wave at it while i'm watching Hulu.
But then wheres the added excitement that someone may be watching when I masturbate? Oh wait I dont have a Kinect...
I'm reading a bunch of good ideas on how to make sure Microsoft can't see you, I have one better... just don't buy the damm thing and if you already own one throw it away :P
Why not just take a $0.02 piece of paper and stick it over it? No doubt it came with some kind of warranty or EULA printout, just stick that over it.
I just wear Sony tshirts, an apple hat and absolutely nothing below the waste. Advertise to that Micro$$$$MONEYsoft!!
I dont have a kinect, its a laggy POS, but if I did I wouldnt mind using this if I was just using the voice aspect in a game. Still its a bit too pricey considering its just a plasic cover
I dont get that gamers rant like hell over the likes of Origin spying on their PCs, but are fine with a piece of tech that can spy on them for adverts :/

"The issue was first raised two years ago when Microsoft's Dennis Durkin mentioned the Kinect's potential as an advertising tool"
Time does fly.. Can't believe its already been two years since that mess.
Either way, stupid product -I hope no one buys it.
"Rightly anticipating that gamers would have a huge f*cking problem with this, inventor Paul Harper created the Pritect, a simple slip on cover that blocks out all light, effectively disabling the camera while also protecting against harmful dust and debris."

Damn it man, you beat me to it! But also in the long run, cheaper! I mean, $15 for a hunk of plastic you need to fiddle with, when all you need to do is reach down and yank a cord? lol, I'm going to have to worry about my fellow gamers if they buy this thing.
