Wow my parents would beat me back to 1991 if I ever did that. If your parents won't do it...then you should just take the initiative and take his xbox away physically.

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.)

His parents need to protect their money then. If they have a locked drawer then they should keep their valuables in that. But I mean remove his xbox from the house, sell it if need-be and give the money to the parents. 

Worst case scenario might have to send him to military school or bording school for a year. He'd be screwed up/depressed for a bit but he's get over it quickly in that environment.
