Hm.  good point.  Walmart and Toys R Us would be ones to do that.  Do we see Gamestop, Game Crazy, Target, Best Buy, etc doing that as well?

if MHII still has the AO rating then no store will put it on the shelf.  Eventhough GS and EBgames will probably still sell it, you'll have to buy it online and have it shipped.  They've done in the past with games like Lesuire Suit Larry.  if taketwo wants to make a profit on this game they drop some of the excessive content and get it re-rated.

it works the same way in film.  when you want an R rating you'll re-cut the movie and get a second opinion.
