Microsoft aims to make Xbox more family-friendly
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Wednesday showed off a new Xbox feature that will allow parents to set the amount of time that kids can play games. The move is part of the company's effort to broaden the reach of the Xbox 360 to include more families. The company also recently introduced a lower-priced Xbox 360 Arcade model that skips a hard drive, but includes a handful of casual games like Pac-Man and Uno. Microsoft is also working to expand its Viva Pinata title into a franchise of products aimed at younger kids.
