What PS3 needs....

I think it need parental lock system.

So a parent can put a lock on PS3 so it won't play rated R movies and rated M games.

If PS3 have such function, I think parents will feel safe to let Gamestop or other game stores to sell AO rated games, and gaming in general will mature out of this phase.

We have the technology to do so, so why should more mature gamers suffer because soccer moms are scared of kids play games they shouldn't? There is always simply solution like this.

Umm there is a parental lock on the PS3.....

Just take a look at your system options and you will find it. :?

I thought that was only for the movies.

Does it work for games as well?

If that's the case, why the hell parents are ******ing about Manhunt 2? Just lock it

You can set parental control for DVD and BD separately

Well that's one mom

Anyway, what I was trying to say was that if it has such good parental lock system, then there really isn't much reason to make big deal about making more mature games.

Even if kids somehow gets to buy it, what then? The system is locked so you can't play it.

It should open up the gaming industry to more option like in movie industry. Less restriction and Gamestop should be allowed to sell AO games and Sony should promote it as well and defend themselves saying there is a reason why PS3 has parential lock system.

Now that I know parental lock is for gaming too, I'll be really disappointed if Sony doesn't promote more mature gaming. I've enjoyed many mature games but only to see bunch of negative media to follow it. I really hope this shuts them up for good.

the fact is, while the parental controls are there, most parents dont bother/dont know about it. so it really defeats the purposeballasteve

Well, now at least it's not Sony's fault. It's the parents fault.

[Qit does have that option

the previous systems had this too

go to settings

PARENTs are not saying ANYTHING about Manhunt 2 :S my mom doesnt care, she thought the first one was fun, when she used to go into my room and ask "what are you doing?.. OH manhunt! .. strangle him with a plastic bag!" .. so yeah. Maybe your parents.. mine dont care. and they never did. since i was 9 i could play the games i want. since i was old enough to decide for myself.. so get the facts right ;)zeforgotten
