wot do u think?

Do People Never Learn.

This has to be said, Age restrictions are there for a reason. My Mums cousin saw the Exorcist and nearly diedof fright. SHE WAS 15!!!!

If the cinema had kept in sinc with the age restictions then this would not have happened.

I am now 18 and have no worrys about age restrictions, I can see how frustrating they can be but they are there for a reason. However I feel that some games have an age restriction that is too high

GTA - 18 - should be a 15 as there is violance but it is not very realistic.

Zelda 2 - 11+ - Why?, its about Imps for christ sake.

Conkers:BFD - Mature - should be a small warning but it really is not that bad.

Again the same applys for some films, for instance

Blair Witch Project - 15 - not scary, dull, should be 12.

Blair Witch 2 -15 - shouldn't have been released!

Hollowman - 18- should be a 15.

So you can see my point, age resrictions are useful, but they are too strict, maybe we should switch to the american system. We have to get something good off them.

who cares,you can get games so easy,you could be 2 and buy soldier of fortune

Age restriction surely has to be the best way of keeping track of what can be watched or played by the younger audience. Anyway surely you all know someone who can get a copy of age restricted games and videos for you! If not you need to try harder at being a 12 year old.

How about culling anyone that was not old enough to meet an Age restriction!

Arguing over the same point... I think weve been hree before? :)

But thats the thing it works the same way as videoplus+ does, a little signal is sent to the TV to tell it what the content of the film is like, if the TV is set to filter programmes with this signal type then it doesn!! It would work across formats/companies etc. and if parents wanted it they would buy a compatible TV!!

Although I dont know how other systems work... Ive never tried a cable system... so cable/OnDigital owners, etc... may be able to get the same setup...

I suppose that people watching the free digitals channels could have the same things...

but than again, I wasnt trying to get a UK Vs. US tv thing going?

(besides, as the Simpsons, in their infinite wisdom, have shown, any such system is hardly foolproof :) )

Its just much easier for a service provider to supply such a service than it is for BBC/ITV/etc... to supply the service to the limited number of users purchasing the compatible TV/SetTop Boxes, etc...

???

Sure???? Some places do, no?? Oh well, my ideal world has just been made better!!
