The demo I saw had a portion with the lights off to show off the infrared capabilities.
Yes, the Kinect must be connected for the console to work. All of the features are supposed to be able to be toggled off, which makes the requirement seem weird. Hackers. PRISM. Changeable privacy policies. I'd feel safer without it.
I unplug my microphone from the PC when it's not in use and people think I'm paranoid. I disagree. I will admit to running off the rails on a crazy train. Oh well. No more tears.
