I had a kid yesterday who couldn't have been more than 10 years old who came in with his 16-year old brother and wanted to buy Halo 3. I told them they couldn't buy it without someone over the age of 17 (with ID). If they wanted to buy Showgirls, though, there is no limitation we have for that.<br /> <br /> I think this is an instance of us creating laws to parent our children. If my kids brought a game like that into the house, I'm sure I would find out pretty quick. Kids bring in their Christmas/Birthday money all the time to buy from us.

Plus, how many kids can afford a $60.00 game to begin with. It's their parents shelling out the money to begin with.
