My kids are all lined out to get the next xbox and being a fan of xbox myself i plan to get one. Does this new tool mean i as the parent will have to insert the age limit of my kids so they cannot view over-age material. The thing i was wondering, is if they were to manage to get on it anyway knowing more about the xbox than me, is it possible i can stop them from finding out how to change the age limit. Will i have to put a passcode on? Plz post your answers as it will help me a great deal. Thanks

Unfortunately I've not seen anymore details on this other than the announcement posted on the home page. Maybe one of the other guys has a bit more information, PaPa SmerF is usually good for this kind of thing .

I was also told today that the current Xbox has some kind of parental control facility as well. Although looking through my instruction booklet I can't find any information. I'm not sure if it is a regional feature and maybe it only came with the Japanese Xbox, then again the guy who gave me the information may just of been talking rubbish.
