Tracey -- I'm on my phone, so I'll write more about my ds6 later -- he sounds a lot like yours. He loves to play, mostly role-playing games, and would literally play all day, every day if he could. He makes up his own RPGs. All his pretend games are RPGs. He loves them and lives them!

But I have a question -- so what if your ds has a fit over giving games up for two weeks? It'll probably be good for him. Every six months or so, we give ds6 a "detox" period, no video games. He mopes, but he re-learns how to entertain himself and finds new things to occupy his brain.

So ... What's the worst that could happen if you enforce a two-week no-game period? Lots of whining? Tantrums?
