    Meh. Natal has already touted this. And has the ability to do it much better than the crappy hardware of the PS Eye

    @BubbleF**kingBuddy: Well, to be honest, no it couldn't! And still can't. -_-.

    The Playstation Eye has been out since just a bit after the PS2 came out. So it's been quite a while. The PlayStation Eye is ONLY A LOW RESOLUTION CAMERA!

    While Natal is a combination of: A monochrome infrared sensor able to track the depth of each pixel, thus able to track your movements in 3D space. A long a high resolution digital camera beside it for importing you and stuff you want into the game. And also face recognition and all that jazz.

    The PS Eye is very primitive compared to Natal.

    @katieoh: No, I missed that one (link please). Actually, I dont let it all get to me like I did at one time. One of the advantages of age and experience is that I have learned to pick my battles. I can get mad, or I can do something about it. Being a goal oriented person, I tend to do something about it, if I can. If I have to get angry though, I get MAD. (Why do it if you arent going to do the HELL out of it?)

    Last time I checked, it was the 21st century. I remember hearing about a neighbor who smacked his wife years ago, she divorced him like a week later. I didn't think this was still such an epidemic, divorce isn't really frowned upon anymore.

    @darkstar: domestic violence is WAY down over the last 20 years, no doubt about it. Check the chart below (the most recent graphic I could find). But it's still a problem and rates of domestic violence generally go up in times of economic hardship so perhaps this is more to remind people that the issue hasn't gone away, and that it can come back.

    What about men abused by women? They should show that also.

    @Noobs-R-Us: I think suggesting that "they should show that also" just distracts from the issue. Females are far more likely to be victims of domestic abuse than men are, and near as I can tell men are more often the victims only in same-sex relationships. I'm all for recognizing that domestic abuse crosses gender and sexual demographics, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't put up a poster that brings attention to the issue just because it only represents the majority of cases and not every case.

    @Noobs-R-Us: I agree that it happens and its not reported nearly as often as it is with women, but in 95% of cases the woman is the victim. [www.stopvaw.org]

    @Curves: I'm not a huge fan of that site you use as a reference. First, the 95% figure seems high - most of the stats I've seen have ranged from 65%-85%. Obviously the figures vary widely when you start to include domestic violence against teens (non-partner violence) and exactly how one defines "violence." Which leads me to my second issue with that website; they suggest that in "even" that 5% they claim where the man is a victim, it is justified. I thought we'd finally gotten past that "she had it coming" argument. To have it turned around to justify violence against men makes the whole site lose credibility for me.
