I like it.
I think it's a good idea, this isnt here to replace parents and what they say is good or bad, but to protect the kids and help parents monitor what they play/watch/download.

Think about it, you have a single mom working two jobs, manages to buy her son a X-Box 360 so he isn't as bored at home, but when she's out she doesnt want him playing these games, she can't stop the kid when she's not their and this will help.

It might seem stupid to people 17 who want this crap, but hell, if your that close just bloody lie.

It is a legal requirement (At least in Canada) to ask a person how old they are when they buy games, it even pops up on the scanner to remind people of this, but some people don't care, or at least figure the person is of age.

Just think of it the same as movies, when you were a kid, you werent aloud to watch 14A movies when you were ten right? Well, now that ten year old can't play the game version.

I love the bloody kill tear rip shred shoot games myself, but that doesnt mean my little brother who is 13 should be playing the exact same games.

BioShock is a really good example. He wanted to borrow it but it is a really freaky game and it's rating is too high. (Plus he couldn't smuggle it past our Mom)

Just because they put restrictions on stuff doesn't mean it's a bad thing. In the end it's for the protection of the next gen of gamers.

Sounds stupid and lame but hey. Whatcha going to do? It isnt Big Brother yet, and at least they haven't banned them outright like some would have.

*Drools*

Yay Mass!!!!!! Yay Halo!!!

Well. Hell, I feel slightly bad, this is totally my bag baby!

Well, not the army brat aspect, and not the "Serve the American Blowhards" but if you close your eyes and just play a great game and take it for all it's worth, it totally works!

I was watching something on Discovery or some thing like that and they have a bomb unit toy that has a 360 controler because they found that was easier to use then the control setup they had.

How cool is that? You really can blow shit up with the X-Box, all you have to do is risk your life for a war that never should have started.

...Cool?

Totally agree with everyone who is saying they are doing it for the money.

Are the games being released not b.w.c? I haven't tried Halo in the 360 due to a sticky fingered ex, but the question begs to be asked...why are they doing this?! (To the games and to us.)

By giving us shit, and shitting upon us, the backs of the 360, they are slowly killing their own product. Maybe they've all lost their minds and are trying to turn us agaisnt ourselves, or maybe it's all a secret ploy to get us to buy something else.

I dunno. I'm rambling and pissed that we lose on this. WE ALWAYS LOSE!

Maybe it's a "Were going to cancel it so you must like it!" marketing ploy....I hope...

You Xenophobic Americans. (Just aimed at M$ not everyone.) Just because we live in another country doesnt mean that we dont play.

Canadian's and the rest of the world have been getting screwedout of every goddamn contest. Suuure, give us those silly camerogamer pics and themes, but don't give us the op to win cool shit.

Thanks M$

It's hard to say, I still love me my Halo, and I'll admit it only because I got the game then upgraded, and guess what?!? The Nightmare Before Christmas isnt backwards compatable! Neither is Morrow wind I think, and another FPS that was really big, and two weeks later the 360 came out and again, this game wasnt b.w.c.

Fuckers.

It would be very nice if they upgraded the graphics for some, but that's going to raise the price.
