The best one right now though is MOM!!!  As in "we need to have a
'chat'"...

With being able to lop off the computer web access (router works great at
that), and being able to access his online game records at Bungie.net (I
think that's the correct suffix), we can see when he finishes his last
game, and MOM has said, "you keep it up, you won't have the XBox to
play with". During the end of the school year, she confiscated the
controllers, and put them in the trunk of her car, for about 2 months, and
disconnected his TV and put it down on the floor.  (She's a mean one at
times....but gets her point home).
