So I was talking to my friend last night and he was telling me that he was watching a show on G4 I believe,who announced that Microsoft is creating a xboxlive system upgrade patch that will detect when a cuss word is spoken and will bleep it out...
Now,Idk about you fellas,but I can't go a minute without having to say my daily "shits" and "fucks",I will be extremely pissed off if there isn't a "filter off" button when this upgrade is done...
What do you guys think of this?
 
i wonder if they will have god**** or ***damn...

that one always tickles me. which one is the swear word?
 
Update:
Have you ever had your Xbox Live experience ruined by a potty-mouthed opponent?

As reported by Ars Technica, the U.S. Patent Office has granted Microsoft a patent for real-time censoring of audio streams. Presumably, this is intended to help shoot down unwanted F-bombs before they detonate in the ears of innocent Xbox Live gamers.

If the technology is implemented, one wonders whether MS would permit a free-fire zone on XBL for players who enjoy an uncensored, trash-talking game experience.

Ars Technica' Jonathan Gitlin, however, worries about non-gaming deployment of the new tech:

"I can also envisage a more sinister role, however... Imagine the same system applied to digital telephony, then think how valuable such a system might be to an authoritarian regime. As we've seen to good effect in Burma and elsewhere, the ubiquity of cell phones has been a good thing for dissidents who need to get their message out or organize themselves. The Great Firewall of China already blocks objectionable web content from reaching Chinese computers; what's to stop cell phones from censoring anti-government conversations too?"

Sounds like they would never be able to get it working properly.
If they did, though, they should at least have an option to disable it on the receiving side, if you are so inclined.
