A 15-year-old Canadian boy, who ran away a few weeks ago after his parents took his XBox, was just found dead, probably of exposure. Concerned that his son’s grades were slipping as a result of his continuous playing of the online war game Call of Duty 4, Mr. Crisp had confiscated his Xbox 360, precipitating an altercation that caused Brandon to flee on his bicycle. Apparently, Microsoft kicked in $30 grand to the reward-for-information fund, to no avail. So, a few important lessons. (1) Parents, just give up now. Kids always win in the end. and (2) The Wii really does provide a superior gaming experience.
