i dont think this would work, he could just take it back at night, playing stuff while sleeping at daytime. if it gets locked away, he might steal money from his parents or the console from some retailer. (if he'd do something like stealing, but after reading about TF.. might be a possibility.)
edit: also, reading about a time limit (and afterwards just taking the console for the rest of the day), this might actually work, if it doesnt get ridiculous, like '1 hour a day'. since he's an addict. instead, i'd start with 5 hours a day, demanding that he does SOMETHING else with the time left for him. While i absolutely disagree with physical force, your parents still have to be the leading force, for both of you, which includes.. (Yay, beeing captain obvious myself here) your brother. especially your brother.
I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!
