Innovation Day - Xbox Family Settings

Qumar Jamil, Xbox Platform Program Manager, introduced me at Innovation Day to an important feature in Xbox 360 called the Family Settings. The Family Settings allow parents to regulate the games their kids play as well as their Xbox Live interactions. The Xbox team just released an update that enhances the Family Settings with the Family Timer. The Family Timer lets you manage console use on a daily or weekly basis. For example you can set the console to allow 2 hours of play per day. After those 2 hours of play, the console can't be used again within that 24-hour period, unless you grant additional time. Of course if you're the console administrator, you can override Family Timer settings if you want to continue playing games or watching DVD movies after the set time limit is reached.
