HAVE YOUR SAY: The Byron Review

by Neil Long
Tuesday, March 25th 2008 at 3:00PM GMT

With just a few days to go until Tanya Byron unveils her in-depth report on violence in the modern media, we want our readers in the trade to outline what you think the potentially explosive Department for Children, Schools and Families review should recommend.

Should we ditch PEGI and use BBFC ratings? Or has the Manhunt 2 saga undermined the BBFC’s position in your view? Who’s responsibility is the sale of violent games to minors – retail or the parents? And does the general public really understand the existing age rating system?

Mail us your views and we’ll pick the best for publication in this week’s issue.
