I don't/can't feel sorry for some spoiled little brat who does something stupid like that. Kids should have to realize that as long as they live in their parent's house, they are bound by the rules of the house, no matter what their age. Unfortunately, some parents are much on parenting either, though, so I am sure this adds to the problem. If kids want to make their own rules, let them get a job and get out. With all the laws and social workers around these days, it is virtually impossible to punish or discipline our kids without having to worry about going to jail for doing so. As long as my kid lives under my roof, she is going to do what I say, no matter how old she gets. If she doesn't like it, she knows where the door is. If the social workers don't like it, they can raise her...

First of all, killing your parents over a stupid video game, that is simply horrible in every way possible. Second of all, i disagree with some of the other post saying he should be executed. I would rather have him spend the rest of his life without that game, to understand how good he had it with a loving family, a house and a life. It's disgusting to know kids are willing to end the life of people that had raised them and taken care of them. Also, i have played halo 3 and i have to say the game is really boring, its simply run around and shoot.

i dont want to believe it.. but it is indeed a very sad truth... i luv parents very much.. will not want any harm to come to them, and definitely will never harm them.. i am very thankful for whatever that they have given me.. no way to ever repay them. i really wonder that 'stupid' boy has woken up and really realized what he has done ?

First of all I would never kill anyone unless it was self defense. Second of all parents are the ones who bring you into the world and raise you. They feed you and take care of you. Punishments are needed in some cases and killing parents because of punishment is ridiculous.
