I don't think machinery of any type can really replace good parenting and mentoring. Having said that why not use technology to achieve the aim you want? I don't think using technology makes you a bad parent. That is a bit like saying that aeroplanes make for bad travelling.
If the TV/playstation/etc. is replacing a human as a babysitter, then that is pretty bad, but I don't see this particular item as "giving up parental control".
On a side note, I wonder if this would be bad in the case where you are saving data (like on the Xbox etc. It would be a bitch if it corrupted the high score table, or lost the saved game where you just defeated the boss...
