I have good news and bad news...

Good? I got a great score on my last math test, and I am allowed a few priveleges.

Bad?

Why?

MY MOM DIDN'T LET ME BUY CRISIS CORE. WHUT.

I don't understand! I haven't asked her in a long time to buy me a video game -- for PSP, no less! Since I'm in college...but that's not the reason.

She just happened to glance at the back cover and saw the following contents within the Teen rating:

"Blood
Mild Language
Mild Suggestive Themes
Violence"

SHE LOOKED PAST THE TEEN RATING!!! ARGH! M-RATED GAMES HAVE WORSE STUFF THAN THAT!

Teen = 13+
Mature = 17+

how could she ignore that!?

She's let me buy games just LIKE that which had a Teen rating!! examples:

Final Fantasy X-2
(Suggestive themes, violence)

Xenosaga I
(Blood and Gore, violence)

Xenosaga II (it was hard but she actually gave in for this one):
(Blood and Gore, Lang, Suggestive themes, violence)

Valkyrie Profile Lenneth
(uhh I think it had Use of Alcohol, Language, Violence, what else...?)

The only other time she did NOT let me buy a T-rated game was for the first 4 .hack games, for ONE thing: "Mature Sexual Themes". I was actually expecting that sort of reaction from her for those. But this....! Why now? You let me buy games like that before...

What can I do?
