Facebook was originally started to help college students network & in order to use you had to have a College e-mail address. However anyone with an interest in it now can use it, no matter what age.

If the PS3 was just for kids, then why are there several games ESRB-Rated: AO-M?

The same thing goes there. The average age of the folks that play video games is not a teenager. And certainly not a teenager playing those games on the XBOX and PS3 games. The Wii is for the kids.

As a self-proclaimed gamer, I can tell you that you won't find many games rated AO on any game system. All major retail stores won't sell titles above an M rating (which was why Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was temporary pulled off the shelves when the Hot Coffee mod was discovered and retroactively given an AO rating instead of M. Rockstar Games had to re-release the game without the mod and get re-rated an M before retailers would sell the game again). Some will even go so far as to restrict sales of M rated games to minors.

What I'm meaning is that I have both a PS3 & Wii, & have some knowledge of the gaming systems.

On my PS3 I have Dante's Inferno, GTA IV, GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, God of War Collection, & Ninja Gaiden Sigma. All have an ESRB-Rating of M.

Depending on the training the store associates have, they should automatically ask for ID when picking up M-rated games. The 2 stores I normally pick up my games from always ask for my ID when I have picked up an M-Rated game.

I have found on occasion an AO-Rated game at Walmart & GameStop.

Xbox 360 guy here...a majority of the games I have besides sports games are rated M games. I'm actually shocked that you found a game rated AO at Walmart. That's selling the equivalent of an X-rated movie!

Okay, that's enough off-topic for me.

So, you both might be right.

Either way what I said stands. The majority of the people that use have an account are older. Maybe I should do an SPSS Crosstab.
