Could the rating change of GTA: SA be good for me?

[trickey]

This isn't really about different opinions on the rating change, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to make my own thread for it.

Ok, a little while ago, I went out on a whim and bought GTA San Andreas, and while it was fun in the beginning, I've grown really bored with it lately, and haven't played it in weeks. Now, when I bought it, it was rated M, but has since been changed to Adults Only. Could I use this to my advantage and force the place I bought it from to take the game back and give me my money?

Any opinions and/or factual knowledge would be helpful

I'd give it a try... say it was a gift for your nephew and you were unaware just how bad the game was... wear some holy symbols

Either that or you use the cheat code...

Heh, I bought it for the Xbox, so I don't even thing it's physically possible for me to activate the content that was the the cause of the rating change. Nevertheless, since the content is on the disc, the rating was changed.

GameStop Corp., announced today that it has removed Take-Two Interactive's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for all platforms from all of its retail locations and its e-commerce website based on the decision by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) to change the game's rating from Mature (M) to Adults Only (AO).

Best Buy Co., Inc. In compliance with our policy not to carry adult-only (AO) games, Best Buy is immediately taking steps to remove all copies of the now AO-rated game “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” from all of our North American stores.

What a bunch of spineless twits.

It might become a sort after collector's item.

How dare they despoil a good, wholesome values-oriented game about carjacking, murder, blackmail, drug dealing, copkilling, money laundering, protection rackets, and pointless violent cycles of brutal revenge and despoil it with something so unwholesome as the human sexual act? For shame, Rockstar!

That's a good point.

We are cool with violence in this country but when it comes to sex people flip out.

I like it when I play Battlefield 2 and the Administrators of a server will say, "no foul language!!!!"

Ironic the game depics killing a bunch of people.

Is it anything like the ten painful minutes of pole-dancing you have to endure to get the strip club asset in Vice City? Because I can't imagine anything less arousing.
Unless they somehow involved El Burro, of course.

The rationale is that sex is more accessible than mass murder, in large part because you don't need to be a lunatic to have sex.

Well that's all very true, but what does that have to do with censoring a game for showing sex?
