    true, but its all useless if the store doesn't enforce them.
    You have a son, do you think when he is 13 you'll be in totla control of his every movement?

    At least with some proper enforce ment, you know it will be more difficult for him to get his hands on some game you don't want him to have.

    I would argue that man kids get them becase they go some gift certificate from a well meaning relative.
