If your too lazy to read GTA: SA has been now stickered as 'AO'

So I guess my point is AO sticker boxs may become rare and the material on them too :D

Gotta find one!

I think it was put in the game.. but not meant to be found out... but as seeing the sales were WAY down from expected... work at Blockbuster.. we got 28 copies of the Xbox version... sold 4.. since it was released.... sales not so hot... therefore what would boost sales even MORE!!!! but of course SCANDAL.. HAHAHAHAHA

If it's rated mature, then only mature players should be playing it anyways. The whole AO tag is total bullshit to begin with. Now that they did this, they pretty much force Rockstar to go back and censor their game. I've been posting about the same crap in that Harry Potter book thread that started up. It goes to show you, that if idiots bitch to the government enough, then anything can get done.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game is now being taken off the shelves all over the country and re-labeled with an "AO" rating. This is much stricter than the "M" rating the game originally received. According to the ESRB website:

Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons of age 17 and older.

As opposed to the stricter AO rating:

Titles rated AO (Adults Only) have content that should only be played by persons 18 years and older.

What pisses me off more than anything is that I paid for a game rated for 17 year olds, or possibly 17 and 1/2 year olds, tops. What I got was a game rated for 18 year olds instead.

Fuck censorship. Rock on Rockstar.
