"Have fun outside instead of playing video games."

Translation: Amuse-toi dehors au lieu de jouer aux jeux vidéo.

[jwbards]

Why is the article definite here? The sentence isn't referring to a specific video game or to all video games in general. Hopefully someday I'll figure this out ...

[Alex11599]

Same question here.

Why not "... des jeux vidéo"?

[MurielCalder]

jouer de for musical instruments
jouer a (accent) for sports and games
elle joue du piano
elle joue aux jeux video

《 Jeux vidéos 》 accepted. Is either way ok?

[--Roody--]

According to the dictionary, vidéo as an adjective is invariable --the same for singular, plural, masculine and feminine.
