While I'm no US citizen this seems like a great idea, the children truly are our future and a good grasp of technology as well as the disciplines governing it is vital.

This will all end very badly once the kids get their parents and/or teacher to buy them a GTA4-like game.

This is a great idea. Many countries try to hinder access to video games by kids in order to promote education. Hopefully our government has learned that it's a much better idea to make games more educational rather than taking them away.

Why not actually reward people trying to innovate? Why not set up a competition smiler to the Intel Talent Search, ISEF, or Siemens Competition?

Nice.. What other way to get a good headstart with our kids needing more yelling at and pushing away from the video games when they have no sence of measure. I love gaming myself but this is just wrong... Even if pleasant for kids.

Yes because it's obviously the video games that are causing kids to lose grip on what the world is like. It's got nothing to do with a parent that is too lazy to grab their child at a young age and actually BOND with them..... I'm a parent, I will have no problem with my kid playing video games when they are old enough. But to suggest the notion that video games have no value twords learning is insane. Oh and by the way, yelling at your kid never works.

I seem to remember them trying to do this with the PS2 and the utter failure it was because no one played the boring crap they came out from it (instead they rented real games and played them).

Good promotion for Sony, waste of my tax $'s once again!

You've clearly never played LBP. It's an amazing game, and it actually has a huge community (which mean that PEOPLE ACTUALLY PLAY IT).

It's a nice idea, but I can't help but point out the irony of trying to improve the USA's education level by partnering with a Japanese company using a UK-developed game...

Foreign exchange students come to America and go back home with a better education, it's the same concept if you think about it. If they have something better, why not use it for our benefit? Doesn't make us inferior, just means they have one thing that's better.

So unfair that you guys get a smart president, and we europeans are stuck with monkeys! We felt much smarter when you were stuck with that catastrophy that was bush, cause back then our goverments did nothing, while yours tore apart your country and its already shallow reputation

This place is falling apart.

This will actually get people to go in a library! ... and steal the PS3.

 

[anamaniac]

Why not also allow LBP for the PSP for free? There isn't a single free PSP downloadable game (legitimately) yet...

And only 1000?
