澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft has revealed a new parental control feature for the Xbox 360 dashboard called the Xbox 360 Family Timer, which will be available for download from Xbox Live in early December. This new feature will let parents set the amount of time little Johnny can play games on a daily and weekly basis. The Timer will automatically turn off the console when a pre-determined time limit has bee✨n exceeded, and notifications will warnꦇ players that the session is coming to an end.

That sound you hear is thou⛄sands of 13-year-ol🌠d Halo fans wailing.

"It's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's resp꧂onsibility to provide parents with tools they can use ♔to manage their children's video gaming and online experiences, and we have made that a priority from the very start," said Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's E&DD division.

The Xbox 360's existing family settings allow parentsไ to set guidelines for which games work for the kids, make choices about content൩ and decide who their children can play with online.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft doesn't mention whether or not the feature will come a꧂s ✤part of the forthcoming Fall Dashboard update or as a single download.

According to Bach, empowering parents (read: spoiling kid's fun) is a core 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft responsibility. "We've seen a tr𓃲emendous response to the robust paren🎃tal controls offered on Xbox 360 and Windows Vista, and the Xbox 360 Family Timer will continue to deliver on our promise to provide safer, balanced and fun entertainment for everyone," said Bach.

"Pꦿrofessionally, I am proud of my division's work in this area, and personally, as a parent of three school-age children, I know how imp෴ortant it is to be engaged in an ongoing dialogue with my family in order to uphold our household screen time rules."

Any bets on how long bef⭕ore there’s a hack? Lot of smart kids out there...
