Was the kid trying to play the game or does he just have anger problems?

I dunno about that... I let my 6 year old little brother's play my Xbox 360 in my room without hovering over them and watching. They seem fine...
The Wii is the true devil's instrument, I guess.

3 year olds were little c**ts long before video games were invented.

I hope that dude got an extended protection plan on the boy so he can exchange him.

If that was my kid, the University fund would be getting spent on a new TV AND he would be able to sit down for a week.

I like how unrealistically thin the Wiimote is and how fake the crack in the screen is. :)

"UK resident Brian McConnell left his three-year old alone"
Wtf, this is why people should be made to take IQ tests before they are allowed to reproduce.

Regardless of the fact that he shouldn't have left his kid alone. I woulda killed the kid. Nobody messes with my plasma BIATCH.

Word of advice: If you have kids under 7, don't buy expensive hardware!
You know there's gonna be a hole in it sooner or later.
My sister learned the hard way when she came home, one day, to find her 4 year old hanging from their wall mounted LCD. She screamed so loud, I thought the neighbors windows were gonna break.

whats with kids nowadays. When I was 3 I got my very first console for christmas (an NES). I played and beat the entire game of mario brothers at age 3. 19 years later and my mom is still impressed, although she hates how I play games nowadays and thinks I should work more. MaybeI should work more so I can afford to move out? The point is, I would never even consider doing something like that when I was 3. What did they teach this kid?

Little Damien Thorn needs a little ass whoopin. It's better than seeing him getting killed by electrocution.

Two Things:
1) More proof that Americans are not the only ones that are dumb and that UK people are not the smartness saints.
2) Hear that? That is Jack Thompson orgasming.

mike - "Maybe I should work more so I can afford to move out?"
Well, I hear that chicks totally dig a guy in his 20s living at home with mom. I left home at 18 when I went to university and I didn't go back. Who wants to live with their parents???
And my 8 month old daughter is going to stay far away from the Xbox 360 setup until she's old enough to not break it; I'm assuming that it'll be obsolete by then though.

@3 Nothing broke because like most systems that go way back when don't require you to swing your arm around like a madman making a fool of yourself and causing injury to others. I guess some of us like some civility in how we play from time to time.

It's probably not anger management.
I think he was just trying to play tennis and got too close.
People these days just look for excuses to protect children.

Wow banned from the system for two weeks. Big punishment there hitler. While your at it, don't let him use his video iPod for a day. And send him to his room for an hour when he shits all over the walls and screams bloody murder.
Incase you don't get it, I think his punishment was a little soft for breaking a huge expensive piece of hardware.

I let my nephew play Halo 2 all the time. Hes 6 years old. I probably shouldn't let him play it, but my sister doesn't care, as long as she doesn't have to chase him around the house and keep him out of trouble.
Hes getting pretty damn good. Maybe he'll grow up to be one of those professional gamers.

There should be a post-natal abortion done on the kid and the dad should be neutered.
Didn't anyone learn anything from Bob Barker, have your kids spayed or neutered. We don't need anymore puppies running around here.

Who was playing on the trampoline? If it was the kid, he was surely in hyper mode...leave a hyper 3 year old alone with a plasma TV and a wii... duh (my 2 year old wrecked a 32" olden days TV with windex while my mom was watching her)
