Best Buy ad rates DS titles 'Mature'

July 20, 2008 in News comments 7

A Best Buy flyer put out today has mistakenly labeled a few DS games - Final Fantasy IV, Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2, and Myst - as 'Mature.' Practical joke? Subversive message? Freak accident? You decide.

We have no idea how this happened, as the box images from the publishers should have the proper ratings. It's not like Best Buy's flyer design team adds the ratings to each box (and if they do, we feel bad for them). In the online version of the ad, hovering over the games with the pointer does display the proper ratings.

We're amused, but just to be clear, Trauma Center is rated T for Teen, while Myst and FF IV are rated E for everyone.

    I personally thought it was funny. Hardly news-worthy, though. Its just a mistake. I've seen it happen before and it is sure to happen again.
