I so need this... even though my step-son has excellent grades and is in one of the top 10 grammar schools in the UK, I still think that spending up to 10 hours a day (of a weekend, obviously) playing Halo 3 cannot be healthy...

I'm not for draconian control of the kids, but being able to set realistic thresholds without have a 'whining argument' about it really appeals to me.

The problem with this device isn't the fact that it limits videogames; if you think your child plays too much, by all means you should cut them off. The problem is that it gives parents a way to avoid talking to children; when you use V-chips and timers like these, it seems to send the message that you have no real control over your kids and rely on technology to do your child-raising for you.
