Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

Do you believe the MPAA and ESRB rating system is fair?

When you add the film to your cart a screen pops up and asks you to check a box confirming you are 17+. Like Norris said, without the ESRB/PEGI type organisations censorship would be imminent. I don't see why any gamer would want that.
But what about cross-border sales? What will happen when Chinese distributors start selling video games and films via the internet without caring about western censorship?

I'm sure PEGI will still be around also. Most 3rd world countries don't even use rating systems. I think all these advisory groups will still be around but just as a formality.
