A recent advert for the Xbox 360 was pulled for glamourising street car racing, says Advertising Standards Authority.

The TV commercial showed - shock and horror - a car weaving through traffic during a chase scene in a busy city. How will our kids get through this without realizing that it's JUST A GAME?

"We concluded that the ad glamourised street car racing and could be seen to condone dangerous driving," said a statement from the ASA.

Microsoft said they were committed to responsible console behaviour and advised people not to try driving while playing with their Xbox 360.
