Not having kids I've never been interested in sub accounts. All my region accounts are just normals. But a major problem is that you can't ever graduate from a sub account. You're always better off making your kids regular accounts because if they grow up that account will still be locked with all the sub restrictions.<br /><br />Parental controls all around could be better. It's nice to be able to lock down the console along "levels" 1-9 but without knowing what each level means it's pointless. Why not just use ESRB ratings as parental controls. Why hide the ratings behind mysterious "numbers" The fact that there is a key online is again unfriendly and thus it'll never get used. The fact that when engaged, games above the level can't even be looked at is a HUGE problem. Say you play games and have kids. It might be easy to set a level 3 and then password when you want to play games. But if you have a bunch of PSN games you have NO idea which "LOCKED PSN GAME" is the one you want to play. You have to either literally change your security settings or TRIANGLE-WEBSEARCH.Xpixgxzgxloxuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12185722529416788403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5164588272845310569.post-45045549991558806252012-07-25T22:48:50.968-04:002012-07-25T22:48:50.968-04:00Hi Rick, welcome to my world of inept customer ser...Hi Rick, welcome to my world of inept customer service reps and companies that don't give a damn about your problems with their product offerings. Pretty aggravating stuff. I'm thinking you could put together a nice little YouTube video about it, yes? This story is reason 193 why Sony is closing down outlets,terminating thousands and making enemies out of their customers. Bah!!! I don't give them long. Of course that could just be my pissed off-ness on your behalf. Your welcome.
