Xbox 360 Fall Update Adds Play Time Limiter

Xbox 360 Fall Update Adds Play Time Limiter

Forum member JasonX1 at the official Xbox forums has spotted some Fall Update information found on the back of a Guitar Hero III keychain leaflet.

The leaflet's back mentioned a "Family Timer" that can be set by parents to limit their kids' daily and/or weekly gameplay time. We've already heard about the family timer about a month ago, but the pamphlet is the first "document" to officially mention it.

"There is some information coming out via a pamphlet that comes with a Guitar Hero 3 keychain, that the rumored Family Timer, which lets parents limit how much time their children can spend playing their Xbox 360, will be available in December 2007", JasonX1 wrote. " Now, considering most major Xbox updates are done in either the Fall or Spring update, this feature would probably be a part of the Fall update. This could be an indication that the Fall update will hit in December. Fall does carry into December, after all."
