Ds got a PS3 for Xmas. He already had a PS2 and PSP. He's been thru phases where he hasn't gamed at all for weeks on end, but specially now the weather's so crap all he does in the evenings is gaming.

At weekends he'lll usually have a mate round at some point or he'll go to theirs, and guess what they do the whole time.

Have been trying to get him to go swimming & stuff on Sat afternoons but he's quite resistant.

What are your lads like and should I try to limit it more (in theory it's an hour and a half a day but in practice and at weekends it's often 4 hours plus).

That's an excellent idea. Must remember that one.
