ParoxysM Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 ESRB assigns "Adults Only 18+" (AO) rating for current version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas due to unauthorized third party "Hot Coffee" modification New York, NY – July 20, 2005 –Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) announced today that the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has changed the rating of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on all platforms from "Mature 17+" (M) to "Adults Only 18+" (AO) because of the so-called "hot coffee mod," an unauthorized third party modification that alters the retail version of the game. Take-Two cooperated fully with the ESRB's investigation. Rockstar Games has ceased manufacturing of the current version of the title and will begin working on a version of the game with enhanced security to prevent the "hot coffee" modifications. This version will retain the original ESRB M-rating and is expected to be available during the Company's fourth fiscal quarter. Rockstar Games will be providing AO labels for retailers who wish to continue to sell the current version of the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 No, its more like all Hillary Clintons fault. God damn democrats. What was that link you had B.Ob. about her going after Rockstar. It also said she wants to blow like $9 mill on research on the effects of violent games on kids. Great way to piss away tax payers money Hillary. Here's your answer without spending a dime... The only kids violent games have an effect on the ones that aren't being parented by their parents. Its no ones fault but the parents.

B.Ob. Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 A bit of Hot Coffee for Senator Clinton's mind Hit the LINK and read it ALL, GOOD STUFF!!! "Dear Sen. Clinton: "I'm writing to commend you for calling for a $90-million study on the effects of video games on children, and in particular the courageous stand you have taken in recent weeks against the notorious "Grand Theft Auto" series. "I'd like to draw your attention to another game whose nonstop violence and hostility has captured the attention of millions of kids — a game that instills aggressive thoughts in the minds of its players, some of whom have gone on to commit real-world acts of violence and sexual assault after playing. "I'm talking, of course, about high school football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
