My first AO Game

[sqlrob]

This post is a touch late, but I wanted to wait until I had the shipment in my grubby little hands. I am now the proud owner of one GTA: San Andreas, purchased after the re-rating to AO. (Although jenbooks is still trying to get me to purchase the AO version of Leisure Suit Larry, but since the game sucked and the AO version is PC only, it's probably not going to happen.

Boy, did this game take some wrangling to get. The day it was re-rated, I went to the local GameStop to get it. Nope, sorry, we don't sell AO. Doesn't matter that I'm 33 and don't have any children, or that the content didn't magically change when the rating did. Interestingly enough, the "San Andreas: Get it here" display was still up.

So, online to Amazon and add it to my cart, I won't purchase it to the next day because I'd like to to find and support a local place that doesn't pander to the morons. No luck, so "Move to Cart" the next day. Nothing, nada. Doesn't work. The game page is still up, no "add to cart" button any more. But, funnily enough, "Add to Baby Registry" was still there. Time to wander online and look for places that still have it.
EB Games Used last night, just the strategy guide now
GameStop Nothing
Circuit City Nothing
Best Buy Found on the search page, but any links are 404

Some digging around Rockstar's site and F.Y.E. has it. Place the order, and it's here today. $20 rebate, definitely putting it in my price range. I wasn't planning on getting this until the price went down, but Hillary "sexually repressed carpet bagger" Clinton forced it. I'll be damned if she's going to tell me what I can and can't play.

And now you have some idiots "weren't aware of the sexual content". Hmmm, what's in that label on the back of the box
Blood and Gore
Intense Violence
Strong Sexual Content
Use of Drugs

WTF made you think this was suitable for your fourteen year old grandson you stupid bitch? Now you're suing because you don't know how to read?

It kills me - I noticed the other day, when getting God of War, I did not get carded for the Nine Inch Nails CD (love it!), but I got carded for the game. WTF?
