Woot, today I'm 17 years old and I can buy M rated games alone. OooooooOOO the power!!! When I got elder scrolls oblivion a few years ago, I was with my mom and the cashier lady actually gave a full on explanation of the ratings and the content of the game (I still got it, but that's not the point). Now, when somebody tries that I can be like "Whoa now, I'm 17 so you can stop right there."

Actually, get the Orange Box. I know that the PS3 version is the worst of the three, but it's only $20 now and has five awesome games.

UK laws were more relaxed when I was younger. I remember having no issues buying an 18-rated game when I was 13. Then GTA happened...then Manhunt... and after a little confusion the law seems to have become more strict.

I'm glad I lived in a simpler time...

They really need to change the rating system. I've seen more violence in a PG13 rated movie than all the Halos combined...

Haha thanks for all the comments, guys. I've actually been playing all types of games for a while. Hell, I played GTA3 when I was like 10. And no my mommy doesn't need to drive me to the store anymore ;); I can steal her car when I need it.

The rating system is a broken system, at least 80% of the games rated M shouldn't be, because there is nothing inheritingly mature about violence and its not something that is well over the head of any kid and suddenly only becomes clear when your 17. Violence is something a 6yr old can understand, hell a dog can understand violence. The ESRB needs to be disbanded because they serve no purpose. Instead of fleshing out the rating system to be more accurate than some abritrary letter grade, they choose to hide behind a static set of guidlines that cant obviously cover the thousands of games that come out just so they can stay out of the news when parents looking for someone to blame for all thier kids problems are on the war path.

Happy b-day m8, congrats. I'm also 17 but here in Holland the m-rating is for 18 year olds -_-" so when I got out to buy Killzone 2 the cashier wat b!tching that I wasnt 18 yet so I couldnt take it with me. Had to get back with my dad later that afternoon, how embarassing xD. But luckily they usualy dont even check your age here so getting m-rated games is mostly not a problem, just had bad luck that day, having a stupid b!tch behind the counter.

Congrats. I remember when I turned 17. I bought Fallout 3 and the lady asked me if I had ID. I showed and she said thanks. It was cool.

I bought all 3 of those and im 16, everyone i know says i look about 14 and people at work ask how old i am because they think im too young to work. So im guessing you were joking but if not im a lucky guy.
