"[i]CHICAGO--Electronics retailer Circuit City will stop selling mature-rated video games to customers under age 17, joining a growing list of companies that have instituted the policy amid pressure from politicians.
good thing I don't buy my games at Circuit City . I don't buy that many M-rated games anyway, but when I do I don't want to be denied the privalege because of not being over 17 or having a parent with me.

Also from the article...

Quote:
Target, Kmart and Wal-Mart announced similar policies last year. Montgomery Ward and Sears, Roebuck and Co. had earlier agreed to stop selling the games altogether.
I never knew Sears sold video games! Never heard of this Roebuck and Co. place

and since Montgomery Ward is now bankrupt and gone I guess I won't be getting games from them anyway

also concerning the australian dvd situation. jader will definately want to stay on top of the development of this news topic.
