I don't know about other states but I live in Massachusetts and I tried to buy GTA when I was seventeen and the guy at Gamestop wouldn't sell it to me without a parent.
I think most peoples is the RROD, however, I was unfortunate enough to have my console freeze while I was 1 kill awake from a nuke in MW2. I had to turn it off and when I turned it on, well, RIP
As far as I'm concerned, it is rated M for Mature for a reason. I do not actually believe that somebody who has never done or thought or doing anything crazy violent would play a game and then go do it all the sudden.
I do still have a ps2 but it is extremely slow now but one of my favorite games to play on it is Medal of Honor Rising sun. That game has so many memories for me.
