Son Wants an Xbox

[Slidellkid]

My son will be seven in a week. He keeps saying he wants an xbox. He already plays his much older stepbrothers Play. Station a good bit. He's a good kid and already like to shoot, fish and hunt. I just worry that getting him an Xbox will ruin that for me.

When I grew up we had no Xbox or even videos. We could go to an arcade and play pinball but that was about it. I know times change but seems like kids these days just don't play outside much. My son does love to swim in our pool and play catch with me and he's already playing baseball, basketball and going to cub scouts but I am just not sure about the game thing.

So, for you younger fellas that have played lots of Xbox and other games what do you think?

For you fellas that have already purchased game players for your kids do you regret the purchase or do you find that you can manage your kids interest in the outdoors and sports by limiting time on the game playing things?
