A father tried to punish his son by taking away his beloved Xbox 360, so the son reportedly tried to punish his father by calling the cops on him and reporting it as a theft.
The incident happened over the weekend in Christchurch, New Zealand. The unidentified father and his 17-year-old son got into an argument over the teenager's bad grades and the father decided to confiscate his Xbox 360 because he puts in around two or three hours of game time a day and "puts it before everything else."

We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.

Cool story
17 years old?
TEN YEARS LATER:
Son still lives with father, and still plays his old, beat-up 360, because working the fryer at the local buger joint doesn't earn him enough money to pay rent or buy a new console... all because he thought gaming was more important than education.
Father looks at his son and regrets not confiscating console when son was 13. Writes a hastily scribbled suicide note...
What a horrible name for a town.
