I am sure that the BBFC will increase capacity to deal with the extra demand. If they don't - then they are fools.

When it comes to ratings, one stands head and shoulders above and that is the BBFC. It's simple and works for films so there is no reason why it can't be used for games, like it already is, which can be adapted for games.

Pegi isnt the law, that already puts Pegi on a minus and by making it law, will just add to the confusion and that doesnt take much when it comes to parents and computer games

@Onehunglow: However, it shouldn't be law- the reason so many kids are getting hold of games they shouldn't be is because parents are mentally switching off, safe in the knowledge that the retailer will do their work for them, or face legal troubles.

Removing the legal backing of the ratings board, forces parents to do their job and pay attention. As long as we let them not bother, however, as is the situation today, then we are in for a long period of "Well, they shouldn't have sold it to my son" excuses being quite happily lapped up by the papers, leading to greater and greater censorship of an already over-censored artform.

The reason why kids are getting hold of 18 rated games IS because of the parents in 95% of cases. Experienced retail staff (including my own experiences) tell us that parents will always buy it, no matter how graphic the content is.

The BBFC rating systems works well as its something that parents, if they bother to stop blaming everyone else but themselves, are familiar with from their movie going experiences.

We dont need yet another rating system to create any confusion. I am also sick of parents passing the buck.

pegi does not have to be law to work. there are very few countries where pegi is law - neither is esrb law. film classification is not law in a whole chunk of europe.
name another european country that uses film ratings for games!

Parents ignore the BBFC rating, or understand it but still buy the item anyway. If the UK continues to have our own rating system it will further delay games, harm the industry, and retail. Put the onus on parents to do their job - raise their child and be responsible for what they do - stop pushing the industry and retail to be a proxy parent because you, parents, can largely not be bothered to find out about your children's interests!

As a parent I feel that the BBFC system is safer - I have very rarely come across a retailer who bats an eyelid at selling a PEGI 15+ to a junior school aged child, but they don't sell when its got a BBFC 12 on it. nuff said.
