Online games and console games have a way of getting a player hooked. Sometimes the players can no longer attend to things that they need to do because they just can’t leave the game they are playing. I’m sure this is one of the concerns of families who have kids hooked playing console games. Microsoft, as one of the producers of the gaming consoles out in the market today has designed a way to address this problem. The Microsoft Xbox 360 is built with a new feature that enable parents to control the time their kids get to play with the console.

There are still a lot of households out there that do not have any type of game console. What’s stopping them? Loss of control over the children’s gaming habits. So this new feature in the Xbox 360 could put their mind at ease thus attract them to purchase one.

How can parents reign over their kids gaming time? It’s quite simple according to Microsoft. You just locate the family settings then choose the number of hours you want the kids to play on a daily or weekly basis.

This move has been made in order to keep up with the upcoming holidays when people would be buying perfect gifts. Sony and Nintendo are already making their moves so it wouldn’t do for Microsoft to lag behind.
