Sony boss supports R rating for games

News.com.au's technology column has an another article on our wonderful game classification debacle, and has some choice quotes from Australia's head of Sony Computer Entertainment. "Gaming has moved on, the choice of content has moved on and I think it is time Australia gets in step with the rest of the world and has an R rating classification," Michael Ephraim told AAP at a Playstation announcement in Sydney...

"I think it is just giving people choice. You give people choice for movies, books, whatever. Why aren't you giving them choice for gaming? The Government needs to move on, to stop thinking that gaming is for kids, gaming has grown up. Eight to 88 (year olds) play games now ... the average age of a gamer is something like 24 years old."

Let's hope that the debate amidst attorneys-general wind up agreeing to rectify our clearly broken system.
