Microsoft Xbox 360 to get parental time control feature

Microsoft wants to make their Xbox 360 more appealing to families with kids. The company going to provide a new feature to the console owners which would allow parents to set time control features.

This would enable them to limit the amount of time kids can play and use the console to access the net.

Microsoft also recently launched a low cost Xbox 360 Arcade model which excludes the hard disk on the console. This version also shipped with casual games like Pac-Man and Uno.

All these new features could give Microsoft an added advantage over rival consoles like Nintendo Wii and Sony Playstation 3 this coming holiday season.
