Violent video game case headed to Supreme Court

article published on 1 November, 2010

The U.S. Supreme Court is to hear arguments on Tuesday concerning a federal court's decision to throw out a ban on the sale of violent video games to minors in California.

"In contrast, the study found that 72 percent of minors were able to buy music CDs that had an "explicit content" warning, 50 percent could buy R-rated and unrated DVDs and 28 percent were given tickets to R-rated movies at theaters."

Anyone can buy unrated movies; they are unrated. The scaled-back version that is rated R may be blocked to children, but the all-out unrated versions are not. This seems like a good solution to the games issue. The game companies should make "rated" and "unrated" versions of games...the "rated" version would look like something from disney, while the "unrated" version would make Charles Manson vomit.

Ok maybe I'm dumb but I dont really understand the significance of this law. Isn't there already a law saying you can't sell M rated games to minors or is it just a suggestion? Besides... most kids just have their parents buying the games anyways. I don't see why this is such an inhibition.

most stores have a policy where you can't sell M games to minors at some places you can get fired for doing it, but those are just company policies there is no law saying M rated games can't be sold to minors. I Honestly hope this passes keep less kids on xbox live lol

they can't stop minors getting alcohole,cigarettes or M/R rated video games/movies.when i was living at my mums the 4yo (nextdoor)use to come over and play mortal kombat with me.Didnt consider it that bad considering his dad use to let him play GTA3 at home.When i was young my step dad use to put horror movies on for the family to watch.we use to play mortal kombat for hours.We turned out normal.my sister and my little cousin had nightmares for a few weeks after watching child play.
