    Default Age restriction software for 360

    http://news.webindia123.com/news/sho...=Entertainment

    I personally don't think its needed b/c the parents for underage kids are probably buying the games, so they can just check it themselves. But, I guess its just a precautionary thing. Stupid precautionary things.

    Edit: http://www.joystiq.com/entry/1234000153051369/
    I just found this one. This article provides similar insight to mine, but is more thought out...and longer.

    yes that is true, they can buy the games with all their hearts content, but if the parents were to get to the 360 first and put a restiction, those games will become useless....plus it would help out some people here that needed some options for it....let's just wait and see when it comes out and see how it works, if it works

    Sounds good for parents who are actually tech savvy and set up their kids XBox 360. Its a nice feature to have.

    Especially since it doesn't apply to me.

    Xbox has this feature to an extent, but take a guess how many parents know this and know how to use it.

    Age restrictions are just another way for parents to keep us from seeing the truth, that there are good games. All of todays best games are rated M or T. The only good game that I can recall is Lego Star Wars, and that was an OK game.

    For all those with age restrictions, I fire one shot into the air, for there is really no hope... Unless you spend all day trying to figure out what the password is. That is what i did when I had age restrictions on my computer. THAT SUCKED. I couldn't even go to google...But the password was an easy one to findout. It was password...lol
    Suck and suck. Suckin up all you can suckin up all you can suck .Workin up under my patience like a little tick. Fat little parasite. Suck me dry. My blood is bruised and borrowed. You thieving bastards. You have turned my blood cold and bitter, beat my compassion black and blue.

    Personally I don't think the game should be blocked entirely. Doesn't HL and HL2 on the PC have like a checkbox to block the violent blood content and such, but you can still play the game? That's the part that should be password protected along with language.

    Doesn't the current Xbox already have age restriction software? I could've sworn I saw it in the dashboard. It's nothing new.

    I disagree entirely with this... but I don't care to point out the obvious reasons why.

    Anyway, this is stupid. It's just one more way for parents to not monitor what their children are doing, plain and simple. Take a lil responsibility you God-damned yuppies.

    Funny, the only people complaining about this are kids under 17. I think it's a good thing, because it gives parents the option of passwording. It's not some forced censorship by the government.

    It doesn't relieve parents of their responsibility either, it just makes it easier for them to exercise it. They can't be around to monitor their kids all day, so this allows them to still make decision about what games they believe are appropriate for their children.

    I know it sucks for you under-agers, but the fact is you are your parents' property, er, responsibilty, and not much can be done about that until you turn 18. Besides, I have a hard time believing most of you guys are actually limited in what content you have access to.

    I think this is a pretty good idea. And its up to the parents whether or not they want to turn it on. If they feel its fine for you to play M games then they won't turn it on.
