Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

ESRB Game Ratings

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the ageappropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem suitable for their children and families.

ESRB ratings have two equal parts:

•Rating Symbols suggest age appropriateness for the game. These symbols appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or rental in the United States and Canada.

•Content Descriptors indicate elements in a game that may have triggered a particular rating and/or may be of interest or concern. The descriptors appear on the back of the box next to the rating symbol.

System data, where all game information is saved, will then be created automatically. After confirming this step has been completed, proceed to the Top Menu.

Saving Data and Memory Required

In order to store and update your “System data” and “Edit data” and save your progress in competitions, you will need a Xbox 360 Hard Drive or a Xbox 360 Memory Unit in memory unit port A. The “System data” and “Edit data” can only be saved to or loaded from a Xbox 360 Hard Drive or a Xbox 360 Memory Unit inserted into memory unit port A. Each file saved to the Xbox 360 Hard Drive or a Xbox 360 Memory Unit requires a certain amount of free space, as the following table explains.

Top Menu Screen

The Top Menu select screen provides access to PES 2011 competitions, options, and features. Use the left stick or D-pad to highlight the required option, and then press the Abutton to make your selection.

When the Help icon appears at the bottom of the screen, you can press the corresponding button to call up the Help Menu to view helpful advice. Please select your preferred language from the language selection screen displayed when booting up the game.
