This kind of system should be initiated here in the U.S and the United Mexican States or at least require people to show ID when purchasing M rated games.

As I understand it, it's 'banned' because they cannot classify it under their current rating system. so it can't be sold, imported etc.

A system requiring ID before would be good though, even though it's a lame protection because i could just go and buy a copy for my lil bro no problem.

If games in AU were rated to 18 this wouldn't be a problem, but theres some in gvt. there who think games are for kids, nevermind the fact that the main buyers are in the 25-35 year old bracket

Incorrect, they think that kids can get the games. I am in a retail store and that is the official word, which is bollocks. It is not the retailers fault that these games get given to the youngster, the games have clear markings and every store who sells items with ratings is legally bound to have the classifications explanations on show in their store.

The foundings are outdated and need to be modernised.

I agree 100% with the bolded, but which part was incorrect - my understanding of the ratings only going to 16 or that they think games are for kids? not being an ass, i just want to know
