Microsoft: We're Not Having Sex on Kinect
After all, it's not a XXXbox.
We know that the Microsoft Kinect peripheral can do much more than just interface with the Xbox 360 for some Dance Central. Hackers have been able to make the Kinect system do some pretty amazing things when hooked up to a PC.
Last week we learned that one of those things was making a sex game. An Austrian game developer released a trailer for a game it calls ThriXXX.
Of course, it's just because there was a video demo on YouTube doesn't mean that it'll be a real game. In fact, Microsoft released a statement telling everyone that it won't be endorsing the product or allowing it on the Xbox 360.
"This isn't the first example of a technology being used in ways not intended by its manufacturer, and it won't be the last." the statement said, according to the LA Times.
"Microsoft did not authorize or license its technology for this use," it said. "Xbox is a family friendly games and entertainment console and does not allow Adults Only (AO) content to be certified for use on its platform, and would not condone this type of game for Kinect."
Of course, once Kinect is working on PC games, anything goes.

Wait... but you can rent a prostitute on xbox live?
Also, that video is NSFW, why would you post it in the main article?
I miss the GTA hot coffee mod..................good times
Playboy Mansion... Kinect required? XD
It's mah turn with the sexbox! It's my sexbox, and her name is Sony!
Wrong company, I know.
Good thing the government says you can't stop people. Imagine if the world actually worked the way Microsoft, Apple, Music Studios, etc.. wanted it to.
Anyway, I think the premise of the game is pretty depressing and stupid (and I don't own an XBox anyway), but I'm just glad I live in a country/world where people are allowed to create these kinds of things, even if it is stupid.
I read the title and loled!

The Simpsons? Rednecks and broomsticks ?
Ep7 Season 21
Xbox is a family friendly console? Hmm... There is so much wrong about that.
ThriXXX is not the name of the game, it's the name of the company that's making it.

It's the same company that gave us such games as the award-winning 3D Sex Villa. Not that I've ever played it...
The Simpsons? Rednecks and broomsticks ?Ep7 Season 21
Family Guy S03E16- A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas
Family Guy S03E16- A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas
I think both have that dialog

Which brings us full circle to Southpark "Simpsons Already Did It" Season 6 Episode 7 that explains that it's all been done before
Whatever M$, they can still make the game for xbox, they just won't be able to have any trademarked branding on it. I'm not sure that it would be a very good game, but anything that brings us closer to having sex on a holodeck is good in my book.
So it's okay to shoot a cop with a sniper rifle as bystanders realistically react and flea the scene in GTA 4, that is A-OK with Microsoft's definition of family values, but god forbid there be any sex in a game. What a load of hypocritical crap!

Don't be a moron.
It's one thing to fantasize about things we can't do in real life, but it's another to want to simulate something we can do. That's just creepy. Go have sex in real life instead of pretending to do it on a video game console.
Lol, now there's a reason to buy kinect.
Come on microsoft! wheres your open sourceness going..
Lol this would be entertaining for me and the old lady to mess with.
Does anyone cares about the KiddiesBox? This is for PC...
Haha... that's the only meaningful usage for this piece of.......

Banging chicks that look like Playmates is a fantasy for most men that will never happen. And thats not ok? But killing cops is?
Like it or not, sex will always be worse than killing in the US. It's just the culture.
This game could absolutely be released in japan though (call it Rape+)
Gotta just shake your head when a sex game is somehow more offensive than this-

Culture of violence. Will America ever mature its attitudes on sex.

Just because those other things are offensive, doesn't mean that explicit sex isn't also offensive. They can BOTH be offensive.
Thank god jesus delivered me from my addicition to this over sex loaded culture we live in...its disgusting..and yes I am a guy ..a str8 man of god...Why did I click here...because i wanted to know what the hell they were talking about.
I would actually consider using the kinect for "webcam" girls where my "kinect-moves" controls a robot arm on the other end

He never said it wasn't okay. Just pathetic. I agree. Microsoft has every right to not allow that kind of junk on its console. I wouldn't want my children to even have access to that game. It's hard enough to keep standard M rated games out of their hands. (Young kids)
"Xbox is a family friendly games and entertainment" Don't I shoot people and things in the face on the regular on this console? Let the perv's have something other than the Sims to play with.
There's something deeply wrong with society if simulated killing is family-friendly, but adults can't have simulated sex. Christian values - go figure. Violence is fun, sex is evil.
Is that link above, a blonde joke? The link to ThriXXX. I clicked it and it just goes right back to this page. LOLWTF?
On Microsoft's defense, at least they gave the XBOX the number 360. If it was the XBOX 2, we might've called Kinect the XBOX 69.
