they cant deny a parent from buyin the game for their kid, it would be a wonderful thing is they could, but they cant, no matter what they do parents will never take responsibility for buyin M games for their kids, so it wont matter what a store or the ESRB does

so do i understand you correctly in saying that people under 17 can't get the game from gamestop with a parent. if that is true that is probably illegal and could also be easily avoided. it's a game and people that imitate what they play on a game are already messed up in the head BEFORE they play the game. it just gives them ideas of how to commit crimes. kinda like when the highway sniping started, people saw it on the news once and look at how many times it happened after it was put on tv. half of americans play video games, so of course a lot of murderers will say i played the ps2 version of GTA3 or Halo. this whole game issue has gotten so out of hand due to people like Thomson, Hillary Clinton, and many many others.luigismansion101

I hate to tell you this noob, but it's not illegal to refuse service to someone when you own a business.

Oh I am pretty sure circuit city will be watching it close too considering all the negative attention it is getting

I'll get mine at Wal Mart.

Yeah you might be on to something, Wal Mart sold my little nephew who was (15), a box of bullets and he shot a bunch of folks in a colorado school then himself......They'll sell anything to anyone...

are you being serious?

I would not kid about something like that...YES i am serious, thats why me and my family do not buy from Wal Mart

If anybody thinks this is bad then let me tell you this is nothing. Last year when I was 16 and it was a month before my birthday, I went and bought and Xbox 360 Elite which totalled over $500 with tax. I wanted to get Gears of War and the lady cards me. I was like Im spending $513 on a new system and $60 on a new game, my birthday is in a month and you wont let me get this game. Unfortunately they were the only place with elites so I just got the system and went down the street to another GameStop and picked up my Gears w/o ID check. That stupid b@#$h!!

It's not illegal, it's a private buisness, they can completely refuse you service if they want to.

Good thing I go to Gamecrazy. They have way better deals and cooler people. I'm 16 but I usually never have to bring my parents in to buy an M game because the people there know me and I've brought in my parents to help me buy M games before.

lol, kids will just sit outside the store and ask people walking bye to get it for them (probably offer them 10$ to buy it for them) Kind of like they do with alcohol :Pkozzy1234

That's what I'm doing if I can't convince my parents *shrugs*

They are doing the same thing at Best Buy, boo for you

do you hate kids or something? seriously it seems as though you're getting off to this. and i bought mine online, they don't check ID's online.

He got trashed, swirlied, and picked on by other kids at his school.. Now he's an adult and cant find himself ever forgiving kids because of how they treated him at school.. LOL, jk idk.. :P

But yeah, i remember ALWAYS being able to buy rated M games.. Up until last year i was carded when i purchased my xbox 360.. Luckily it was for my 17th birthday.. But yeah, that was the first time i ever got carded, i didnt even know they could do that.. Now everytime i purchase any game im always carded, even tho im 18.. I feel bad for these kids that get carded now, people should be able to purchase whatever they want.. If the kids could earn the money to buy the game, i think their mature enough to play it too.

Just because they have money doesn't mean they are mature.
