The clock is ticking...
I'm so glad I'm not a kid, this would be my worst nightmare! Watch out kiddies, Microsoft has today revealed a new parental control feature called the Xbox 360 Family Timer. Sounds quite nice doesn't it? It's not, it's an evil new feature that will allow your parent to monitor how long you've been playing on the Xbox.They'll even be able to set the timer to make the Xbox turn-off after a certain period! Ahhhhh, no more waiting till your parents go to bed and then getting up for a late night session on Viva Pinata!
“As a leader in interactive entertainment, it’s Microsoft’s responsibility to provide parents with tools they can use to manage their children’s video gaming and online experiences, and we have made that a priority from the very start,” said Robbie Bach, president of the Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft.
Microsoft has stated that the Family Timer will be available for download via Xbox LIVE in early December.
Get your gaming in now kids, your fun is about to be ruined forever!
