Video Game Reviews of PlayLimit TV & Video Game Timer
Customer Review: The PlayLimit is a Miracle Worker
Summary: 5 Stars
The PlayLimit worked miracles for us.
Before PlayLimit, my 3-year-old would
1) play video games all day if we let him
2) throw a fit any time we made him turn the games off
3) say "I want to play video games" first thing every morning.
With PlayLimit, we give him video-game tokens when he completes jobs. Now, he
1) still loves playing video games, but gets by without them just fine
2) smiles, happily says "Out of time" when the PlayLimit's "Out of time" message appears, and runs off to do something else
3) often says "I want to do a job" instead of "I want to play video games".
The only problem I've found is sometimes the tokens don't fall in properly, stopping somewhere just beyond the coin slot. My kids have learned to gently shake or tip the PlayLimit when needed to free up the token. No big deal.
Description of PlayLimit TV & Video Game Timer
The PlayLimit is a simple token-based solution for setting limits on the amount of time your kids spend playing video games and watching TV.No More "Turn OFF That TV!" Arguments
How can PlayLimit help? Simple. By giving kids tokens for a specific time period, parents set a definite limit on how much TV their kids can watch. What's more, the tokens empower kids to manage their own time, so parents no longer have to be the "time's up!" police.
Once children understand their TV limits, parents can encourage other activities such as reading, drawing, and sports to fill the void. And that's the ultimate purpose of PlayLimit - to be a positive experience for both parents and children.
Simple Token-activated Operation
The PlayLimit system includes 40 tokens - each token allows 15 minutes of game playing or TV viewing.
Ability to Control Video Games and TV Viewing
The PlayLimit system includes the necessary cables to connect to a game console and a VCR, DVD player, or cable television source. See our multi-port switches to easily add more devices. See the manual for a more detailed connection description.
On-screen Display and Audible Warnings for Time Expiration
The large time display on the PlayLimit console warns you when play time is running out so you can save your game or add more tokens. A countdown timer also appears on the TV screen, the TV beeps at intervals.
Pause Button Allows Breaks Without Losing Time
You can press the Pause button at any time so you can leave your game without being penalized.
Secure Case with Key Access for Parents
Parents have the key to the token box where they can retrieve tokens. The token box also is where the back panel of the PlayLimit console is secured, preventing cables from being removed.
Override Modes for Parents
The token box contains switches a parent can set to allow unlimited play or prevent all play.
