I didn't know so many of you are 18 or older...

I'm 18 and I've been a gamer since I was 5. My dad is 54 and he's a gamer as well.

On the day before the Halo 3 launch, I was in an EB games and two guys who looked about 60-65 were talking about whether to use their pension money on Halo 3 or wait for COD4.

The gaming generation is certainly expanding. I'm 24 and I've played, recently, with a bunch of gamers over 50, below 15 and everywhere in between. I have one hardcore gaming friend with 4 kids, some of whom play as well, and he still finds time to play, he's crazy. I plan to be just as crazy and play video games unitl the arthritis in my hands (which I don't have yet :P) forces an amputation and I get a totally awesome starwars like prosthetic!

I'm not a geek, I'm a junkie :D

I'm 15 and my parents bought the game for me, they think freedom of speech should be protectedToriko42

I'm sorry, but what does freedom of speech have to do with buying a game (that you're not old enough to play)?

He's 15. ;) I think at that age we all threw that around with reckless disregard for whether or not it made any sense or applied to the situation whatsoever.

Yeah, silly kids. Where do they get the idea that the Constitution protects them?

A lot of people here are over the age you mentioned. By the way, you only have to be 17 to get it, since it's M.zeppelin_64

In the US. Let's not forget that there are people in other countries out there too.

Actually... No, you don't have to be 17 in the U.S. The government does not get involved in video game sales at all. If a person has money, a store can sell it.

Pardon my imprecision, I was actually one of the people pointing that out earlier in this thread if you look up a little higher. :P There've just been half a dozen people squabbling over whether games in general and GTA in particular is ratedfor 17+ or 18+ all over the thread, so I thought I'd take a moment to clarify: In the US, purely advisory system says "M rating, appropriate for 17+" in other countries equivalent rating tends to be for 18+.

I'm 20, they carded everybody at my Gamestop...it was funny. A few kids got turned away even.TheSystemLord1

:lol: That's what I want to know! :D

Average age of gamers is 33 years old... so I don't know why people think its only kids that play games... >_>foxhound_fox

Not to mention some parents dont care, add in siblings, friends, uncles, aunts, naive grandparents, or lazy store employees and there are many ways to get a hold of GTA when you arent 17, or 18.
