About 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 sitting
farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen,
playing in a well-lit room, and not playing 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.

Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or
rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox
games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal
course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent
shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games
are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images
created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your
television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be safely
played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the
owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to
determine if video games can be played safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public
performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is
strictly prohibited.
