Xbox 360 Feature Lets Parents Set Time Limits

WOWT in Omaha reports:

If Santa left a video game under the tree or if your child is already a diehard gamer, how do you keep them from spending too much time glued to the screen? One system is allowing parents some control over game time.

Consider these comments from young video game players.

“If I had a chance to play it, I would play it most of my time.”

“Almost every day.”

“Probably like, a lot.”

“Probably like, three times a week.”

“If he could, all the time,” says parent Jackie McKeever. And it all leads to a dilemma for many parents. How much video game playing is too much?

That’s where a new feature on this year’s Xbox 360 comes in. The family timer gives parents control.
