I feel this is a bad start

“This decision by the British government to adopt PEGI as the single ratings system for videogames in the UK will give British children the same protection whether they are playing at home or online, as children in 28 countries across Europe,”

Shouldn't that be Britsih CONSUMERS not just childern. Age rateing are a guide and "Protection" for all

Yes of course.....sigh

And when will they be applying this to other forms of media?

How about looking at the bigger picture here,many aspects of this societies media have some violence in them then, Music, TV, Books, Films, video games ect.

That is why we have age ratings on them. And why it is also the role of a parent to know and understand them.

Mealy pointing the finger at Video Games as it is one of the newer forms of media is childish.

I know the warning briefly states "other violent media" but the brunt of this unfairly placed blamed is on Video Games.
