The US isn't the only country looking to regulate video games. South Korea is 50 hours straight [http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/tech/200605/kt2006051918332111780.htm]. I'm not quite sure if the legislative approach is the road to take--Someone addicted enough to play for 50 hours is going to overcome whatever government can do--but unfortunately, I have no better ideas.

Well... 50 hours... I guess they rather start checking the mental health of BOTH child and parents...

Not to be cruel or uncaring, but these are two people. This is hardly a crisis situation, I think. They would be worthy candidates for the Darwin Awards.

Even then, I think it's important to educate people, and say something that I think most reasonable people would know: Don't spend 50 hours playing a videogame without sleeping or eating. Seems, y'know, pretty simple to understand, doesn't it?
