Xbox 360 Raises Parental Awareness and Money for Charity

Microsoft and retailer Best Buy have joined forces to raise money for charity and make parents aware of age ratings on videogames.  Xbox 360 wristbands (stamped with positive vibe-inducing slogans such as “Life Is Your Game” and “Challenge Me”) will take care of the money- for- charity part. The rubber style wristbands, a current teen fashion accessory must-have, will sell for $1 each. The Xbox 360 wristbands also come with pamphlets (for parents) explaining the ESRB rating system and instructions on setting up the parental lockout features on most game consoles.  Proceeds from the sale will go to the Club Tech Program of the Boys & Girls Club of America.  The program, which Microsoft initiated, teaches kids about keeping themselves safe from all kinds of on-line predators.
