My good man,,,erm I mean child I suggest you get over it and live with the fact that its youre dads house, he says what goes and if he wants to rpevent you from becoming one of those kids that does nothing but play games all day you should be grateful that hes looking out for your own good.



Seriously did you really think we'd sympathise with you?
yea i doubt theres a 'failsafe' when it comes to something microsoft made for parents to do exactly what your dad did to you. afraid the only probable way around it is getting the password which your dad obviously isnt going to give you

Well you could try to get good grades, then ask your dad to add another hour to your playtime.
I never knew that the Xbox 360 came with a family timer :P
I'm sure he put the timer on for a reason

That sucks. I would've been seriously pissed off if my parents did this to my SNES when I was a kid. Luckily, consoles didn't have anything like that when I was a kid.



I'm not sure how you could get around it. Try google or, if you've got a deep voice, try phoning Microsoft and tell them you want to remove the timer but you've forgot the passcode.



Let us know if you manage to remove it. Good luck.

I think he would notice you playing all day(face palm)Instead of trying to do something behind his back why dont you just ask him for a bit more playing time?You sir are asking to get yelled at by your parents :roll:

This is one of the most intelligent posts that I have read on this site, since I can remember... Kudos, it would appear, should also be conferred upon you, good sir...
You'll get used to it. Plus, it gives you an opportunity to develop new hobbies and activities. Plus, I can say firsthand-- video games are murder onschool successif they are unchecked.
