While at the Leipzig Game Conference, Microsoft's Major Nelson dropped this little tidbit about a previously unknown feature of the upcoming Xbox Live Camera.

"When you press the trigger button, it makes the controller of the person you're talking to vibrate," said Nelson. "So two people... well, I'll let you fill in the blanks!"

Now come on. Even the Rez Trance Vibrator at least had some pretense of having a legitimate use. This is just blatant. What purpose could this possibly serve except for what you're supposed to be filling in the blanks? We already knew we'd have people dangling their junk in front of the camera from day one, but I never knew it'd be interactive.

It's odd because companies are usually very careful to officially say "that's not the product's intended use" whenever any "added benefit" is discovered by users, from using game controllers as vibrators to using Preparation H to reduce undereye puffiness. Microsoft, however, seems to be embracing it. But it also seems like they're setting themselves up for real trouble when the obnoxious underage cam whore set goes from sending old men pictures of their boobs to allowing people to remotely pleasure them. Can you statutorially rape someone over the Internet?
