Sony's PS3 game console to include parental controls
Sony's upcoming console joins Xbox 360, Revolution in having option to limit access to games based on ESRB rating. Concerned by the new realism with which the blood and gore appears on the latest generation consoles, the parents can breathe a sigh of relief as Sony today announced that the PS3 will also have a method of limiting the play of games or movies based on ratings. Sony has not yet revealed how the system would be implemented in the PS3, but previous parental controls let parents of young gamers "lock out" games and movies that carry M for Mature, T for Teen, and R ratings.
