News Xbox 360 update to add parental timer

I wish they were going to add more display resolutions, though...the 360 is seriously lacking some common monitor resolutions for the VGA cable. 1680x1050 isn't even supported! That's *my* huge beef with the 360 firmware. I'm sure it'd be a quick fix, too.

 

It's not confirmed what else will be in the update. I reckon an automatic Spaces updater will be included,

 

seems like this is another electronic "parenting" feature to make up for the spineless people that pass as "parents" nowadays. it seems that more and more people want to let a company, device, or even the government parent their child for them. if this is the case then i think we should change the meaning of the word "parent".

to

it seems to me this is what is happening; we are expect someone or something else to raise our children.

 

It's an aid for parents who can't actually reason with their kids through "conversation"... is it so difficult to actually "go" to the child and ask them to not play it... seems like a flanders feature.

I hope they have also put some effort into doing so proper updates as well. Their software DVD player sucks and needs a big update to improve image quality, especially de-interlacing. They need to to fix the screen tearing issues on different games... more an issue on PAL machines I believe (even over VGA etc) they don't care about non US customers though. They need instant resume on HD DVD's. They need to let you pick which drive the eject button on the remote opens (bit minor.. I know). They need AVI file support. There are loads of things.

 

id eather have the facility to choose which nationalities your playing against as i just keep getting tanned at tiger woods by what sounds like 8 year old americans
