ummm, there are no laws in the US restricting the sale of video games to minors. Several states/cities have tried to pass laws making it illegal, but all have been struck down as unconstitutional. A lot of stores refuse to sell gameswith certain ratings to minors, but that is a matter of company policy and wanting to avoid civil suits, bad publicity, etc., not a legal restriction.

The 17+ on the box is a rating given by an independant organization, and has no legal weight to it.
I got carded when I bought F.E.A.R from Target.

Go figure.
