This is an example of tragic misunderstanding of what computer games are

http://www.myfoxboston.com/news/family-opens-fake-wooden-ps4-christmas-morning/11895368

Uncharted is pegi 16 for violence and offensive language
Yet the parents are upset the the kid saw a badly drawn penis and the word cock, but happy for him to watch people get shot while a greater range of saliors parlance is banded around.

Even better, the kid gets the block of wood replaced with Black Ops 3 version and Uncharted.

In this day and age,
Nuditty is "still" wrong and violence is alright. Morally speaking.

The obscenity isn't the problem here, but the fact that a consumer got a fake product instead of a real one that costs quite a bit of cash. Reputable stores should be more careful...

Charon121: instead of a real one
It's a $500 console that is going to be obsolete in a year. I think call it 'real' is a bit of a stretch.

At least a year from now that piece of wood will still have some use.

True, but we said the same thing about you, except at a lower price, and hey, you're still around.

Okay, I hear the voices, but instead of video there`s only a white box!!! Censored?

That's what the story is yes, but it is a clear example of who little some people understand about what they're giving their children.

I doubt they'd be happy the 9 Year old watching 15 or 18 rated films, but games are fine.

When I got my PlayStation 2 as a gift, it came with a Nintendo AV cable instead of the one it was supposed to come with.

(Remember, the PlayStation 2 is not made by Nintendo, and therefore a Nintendo cable will not work.)

Hm, after reloading the video works now.
Call of Duty for a 9 years old boy? What the.....?

I have no idea, i was playing Duke Nukem 3d when i was 13. And i turned out quite ok imho. If i'll have children i will decide what they'll play, not some game rating agency and they will play probably almost everything.

I played more violent games at that age and it didn't do me any mental harm so... eh? Besides, it's Uncharted, the only problem is that he will have to endure the most mediocre games ever made...

Shake it baby... did duke use vulgar language?

I choose what games my children play based on their maturity not their age.

But games are vastly different between the mortal kombat I played at 13 and the game my 15 year old daughter plays.

Well Duke had strippers and lots of gore. Oh don't remind me of Mortal Kombat fatalities. Or Strip Poker... of course you have to choose the games based on the child's maturity, that was my point really.
