Horrible Parental Control Console Device

GameDRTechnology has alwasy made gamers lives even better, but now it’s working against us and helping the parents in their attempt to get us off out consoles.

The horrible device is called the GameDR which claims to be tamper proof and it fits around the plug of your consoles. Once it’s got it’s hands on your console plug it can then be programmed to have a count down timer which once up, shuts off the power to the console. What kind of monster would create such a product!?

Although this is bad news, there is a warning noise when you only have 10 more minutes of play time which gives you 10 minutes to kick up a fuss and try and get some extra play time.

If you are struck by this tool of torture, which is meant to be tamper proof, I’m sure it can’t defend itself against a hammer and chisel.

Hi I'm Dan (aka Scrooby). I'm an 18 year old gamer and full time Web Developer for FreshEgg. Most of gaming tends to be on the Xbox 360 mainly because I love the achievement system. My favourite games are mainly FPS games, Halo, Gears of War and Call of Duty are particular favourites. However, I'll play pretty much all genres of games, anything from Guitar Hero 5 to Lego Harry Potter, they're all great!
