The Big Red Button, Coming Soon…

Feb 13th, 2009 by Joshua Scotton

Looks like our European masters have decided to do April 1st two months early as the European Parliament decides that “Parents should have a “red button” to disable a game they feel is inappropriate for their child” in an official press release.

Stop right there! Last time I checked there was a power switch on my PS3, PC, Wii and my sources tell me that there happens to be one on the XBox as well. Why can’t parents use that? Are parents so stupid that they need a Big Red Button to turn the thing off? Last time my Mum didn’t like the game my brothers were playing she pulled the plug out the wall and confiscated the disc. No need for even an On/Off switch there and definitely not a Big Red Button.

Also games in the EU have a PEGI rating which is enforced in some stores and if a game has cut-scenes in-game those are given ratings in the same way as videos. What is wrong with that? My PS3 has parental controls on it that is capable of even more fine tuning. What extra help is a Big Red Button actually going to give?

Time for parents to grow up and quit being lazy. Pull the plug out the wall and scratch the disc with the car keys…
