Parental Controls

One of the best Parenting tools that Xbox Live Gold (online gaming) offers is the ability for the parent to control the chat output. Parents can easily set the xbox online settings so that their child can talk through the MIC to other Players but the other players comments are heard through the TV speakers allowing Parents to listen ensuring their children aren't being exposed to inappropriate stuff. And if abnoxious people are online and your kid is not keen enough to recognize that captain creepy is using subtlies for creepy reasons, the parent can mute that player so your child can have a relatively safe online xbox360 gaming experience chatting with normal people. Well. that's if you consider online gamers normal.

Parents, think of it this way; isn't it better that we be home with a bunch of friends over, eating all of your groceries, while gaming online with the xbox 360? Isn't that better then us wondering the streets with nothing to do but to get into trouble. (We wouldn't get into trouble. This is just a scare tactic to get you to buy one for the house). Your response is always homework... Not that we would neglect our grades etc...The next Xbox 360 Feature addresses that battle. Read On.

Parental Controls Online and Offline gaming- Setup is easy to control what games your children play, control what movies they watch and you can even control how many hours per day or week they play. The System will automatically Shut the game down when your child has reached the limit. Great for Parents but Not the most exciting feature on the xbox 360 for children.
