Keep the kids in check with the Xbox 360 family timer

[kalniel]

You've not seen the kids of today then?
That would take them all of about 30 seconds to figure out

And the X360 family timer is different how?

At least with the mechanical one you can sabotage it to be less easy to adjust

It sounds like it'll probably have some sort of password protection on it. So there's an easy solution to this... download it first and set your own password, that way parents/wives/significant others won't be able to change your settings.

Presumably because it will have a password on it
Why sabotage it when it can just be removed?

Is the idea that by setting a timer to stop the kids playing too much GTA they might not turn into serial killers?

Cuz thats what happens you know... some perfectly normal lad spends a few hours too long on a viloent game, and next thing you know he's a crazed madman.

I read it in the Daily Mail.
