Rating (while legally enforcible) is rarely enforced by retails, with the exception of selling porn to minor, it is VERY unlikely that you will be refused sale on any game or movie from a retailer, most clerk at your local Target probably don't even look at them. Then again I haven't really been under the legally limiting age for a great long time now so maybe there are tighter security. In either case it doesn't matter as it doesn't apply to me.
Self-centred aren't I? :P
The issue with MA15+ being the highest rating is that there is no 17+ 18+ equivilant like in the UK EU or US.
A controversial call by the OFLC recently had been the temp canning of Fallout due to the use of the word morphine in game as a usable drug. This was on most gamesite news and pissed off a lot of fans until Beth decided to change the name and reapply for a MA15+ rating and got through.
I won't refute the fact that the rating system can be extremely stupid,.
But my point stand, the themes that appeals to me the most in games and movies tend to generally fall under the M and over rating or its equilivant in most western country.
Shallow taste but mine all the same :p
