The Getaway, available now, prices vary. The game comes with a fairly large age notice, which reads '18+'.
Then, right next to it, they have a sticker saying 'Parental Advisory - Explicit Content'.
But, you'll need a parent with you anyway if you are underage, as it's illegal to sell it to you otherwise.
But, if your over 18, you are considered an adult and don't need your parents guidance on whether you can buy a agme which features 'Explicit'ness.

People are crazy.

You have to laugh.

Was in blockbuster last week checking for cheap DVD's. A little boy asks his dad if he can get some movie.
"No it's a 15"

Oh well waht about this game, he says. Picks up the getaway.
"Sure ok."

Something wrong there.

Maybe the man just loves his tv alot and wanted to watch a 'blue' movie later on, and maybe the console is upstairs and the vcr downstairs. I have gone into this WAY too much. Ill get my coat.

Probably realises that a game is a game and that a film is kinda proper minus the acting etc.

Hmm

I saw a kid trying to convince his Mum that age ratings were in fact official Review scores, used to alert parents whether a game is good or not.
18 is the highest, followed by 15, 11 and lowest of all is 3.
So, he convinces her to let him get an 18. Then the problem comes when he also wants to pick up a 3+ for cheap :-)
