This is rediculous! Oh Pullleeeze! If that were my kid, he would have gotten detention! Skipping school over a game???? What about education??? Have parents gone nuts??? Save the game playing for after school and after homework is done already! If this boy was ill, it was probably because he stood in line all night long out in the elements. Sorry, but this doesn't sound logical to me. It's just a stinking game!
Our kids and society are already becoming too desensitized enough over these games. Like they say, everything in moderation.

Bill Gates hands over an autographed copy of Halo 3 to the first customer, Ritesh David, 17, of Bellevue, Wash., at the midnight release of the video game at the Bellevue Best Buy.
SEATTLE - A teen who bought one of the first copies of "Halo 3" and was filmed shaking Bill Gates' hand early Tuesday morning isn't going to get in trouble for skipping school to play the new game.
Officials with the Issaquah School District say a note from Ritesh David's parents claimed he was ill that day.
David told KIRO Radio Wednesday morning that he was fearful he would be put in detention or suspended.
But school officials say David won't be punished for his bout of "Halo fever."
