This is something I posted in the xbox forums. It is also about the R18+ classification issue. I believe there are better ways in which we can campaign for better classifications. Please read the following to understand more: ********** XboxOZ360(from the AU.XBOX forums) wrote: Parents and gardians are often misguided in their choices, thinking a game can't be all that bad if it's "just MA15+" . . .yet the same game from Europe would have a different rating, which could be anything from 12 - 18yrs, depending on the level and style of content. So Prey as an example is "18" in the UK/EU yet only MA15+ here, which is rediculious. ********** DizzRYUKEN wrote: This is a good point. Too many campaigns in the past have been focused on the arguement that we need an R-rating, so that games that are presently banned (or possibly banned in the future) are available for any adults wanting to play them. However this type of arguement, regarldess of the topic, tends to never work because (for lack of a better explanation) it is so "me-me-me" orientated. If a campaign could be generated that focuses on the idea that a 15yo can get their hands on a game that is 18+ elsewhere in the world, it would actually point out the flaws in our classification system and therefore makes a mockery of not only the system but the OFLC and it's reputation. That would get the right peoples' attention. Of course, this does open the door for opposing groups to argue the games in this situation should be banned altogether from sale. However, if the OFLC has approved them prior to raising such points, then obviously they have not seen a reason for them to be restricted in Australia. And only a reason that it is ok for them to be sold to minors.... ;D
