Finally a way parents can stop blaming everyone but themselves

Topics:

I can across this article discussing that Sony will add parental controls on games and videos for Playstation 3.  It said that other console makers have made similar features.  I think this is great!  I am so tired of parents complaining that their son/daughter is playing video games that are too violent.  I have always felt that parents are to blame (partially) for their kids doing stupid things as a result of video games (as many parents claim).  Parents can see the ratings of the games on the cover of the case and they can do research to see if it is violent (all they have to do is look at the websites and see screen shots).  Now, parents will have no one to blame but themselves because they should have used the parental controls feature on the consoles.  I am sure that parents don’t see it my way, but there are several things that they could be doing that will prevent the violence they claim is a result of violent video games.  Like the article mention:

Although parental controls could ease restrictions on the industry, some are hoping that such access also will remove misperceptions about games and their influence on real events.

That is enough ranting for me…it is just something that has always bothered me.  I am very glad to see that console makers are making changes that will help stop this madness.

PS3 and Revolution

Topics:

There has been much talk on our site about Xbox and I thought I would share what I heard about the other systems. I know someone who knows about Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Revolution. The Playstation 3 is going to have outstanding graphics with a 3.2 processor. It also has a 2.5” removable hard drive and is backwards compatible. The biggest one out there will have to be the Revolution. It has a great sleek look and it is backwards compatible with the gamecube disc. It doesn’t have an Ethernet port on it that’s because it has wireless capabilities. The controller is one of the biggest things on it. The great thing about it is that its motion sensors, where you can swing your arm to hit a ball. Another big thing is that you can download all of the previous game onto it, like NES, SNES, and N64. All of those games can be downloaded onto the system to play. I know it seems like I am anti-Xbox but the truth is that I have never played Xbox. However, I think from what I have heard, which may be biased, is that PS3 is better overall, sorry Kevin. Although, from what Kevin recently wrote, the cross platform feature of the controller is a big plus. But I haven’t heard anything yet that has swayed me to the Xbox side.
