This would suck, especially since I just turned 17 
Granted, I wouldn't go buying stuff like GTA, I'd stick with Silent Hill 1 (even though I can never finish the game) and Halo 2 and mabye some Unreal tournament.
But this would obliterate the AO rating -- AO, is, afterall, 18+ in the basics =/ |

No no no. What happened is, Virgin (the group making Thrill Kill) got bought, and the people who bought them thought it wasn't good game material, so it got canned. |

I can think of a few console games that would be AO, if they wasn't unlicensed games...  |

I heard Thrill Kill was going to be AO rated, but they canned it for some reason... problably due to marketing reasons. How would they expect that thing to sell? |

I think Thrill Kill was going to be a M but I wouldn't be surprised if they canned it mainly due to the fact they wouldn't GET a M for it.  |

Yeh. There are none. There was gonna be Thrill Kill IIRC, but then that game never got made and only the PC beta is around anywhere. |

Kario's wrong, I can't recall any console game being AO. Plenty of PC porn/hentai games, but nothing on consoles. |

Mind listing a couple, then? Seeing as I cannot think of any console game rated AO. |

You could probably sue them if they refused to sell to you, because you legally should be "grandfathered in" |

My bad, I worded that wrong. I meant any console games rated AO.
Although as I look at my 4 h-games, I see no ESRB rating on them.  |

Anyway, an "up" rating would only indicate that somehow ALL M-rated games are sex n' porno games, even nill violent games like Halo/Halo 2. Sorry, sex AND violence, for the most part, just don't mix when it comes to gaming. There might be some over-the-top M games like GTA or Getaway containing both, but usually it's rated such for one or the other (AO if it's a pornographic sex-fest). |

There are. They're generally made by companies like Jast & Peach Princess and feature anime-style porn.
Edit: Oops. I missed the first sentence of Ailure's post. |

There is alot of AO games Lord Rahl, most of thoose just are... porn games. :/
We never had a 17+ rating in Europa. Our current Pegi rating have 3+ 7+ 12+ 16+ and 18+, and then markers if the game contains Violence, Sex, Drugs, Bad Language, fear and Discrimination. |

You have to keep the AO rating since that's the only way to distinguish between "Mature" games and pornfests. :\
That employee wasn't stupid - he was just doing his job, and he might have been the ONLY guy at Wal-Mart who was doing it. Still, it was the right move *given* what the law says. |
