So are UK gamers willing to pay even more for their games to cover the cost of BBFC's unskilled censorship?

I'm sure the cost of rating it spread over a million copies is about 10p.

I don't get it Adam. 10p after spreading it across 1 mil. copies? That means it costs 10 mil. lbs to get it reviewed.

Well, so long as the UK keeps getting its games I suppose it doesn't really matter. I'm just glad the US avoided this kind of bs thanks to the ESRB (even if the esrb seems to come under fire more often than it should).

This is to zwilnik, but Joystiq has royally fucked up the reply system (hello black window?)

The BBFC's pricing on games is disgusting. Interactive media costs something like £6 a minute to rate. Can't remember the exact figure but it's way too much.

Personally I think there should be a self-approval option, but where that dev would then become fully responsible for the backlash. At least the BBFC takes some brunt in that regard.

People are confused enough with two, uniform rating systems, let alone one for each publisher to abide by.

The real issue here is if PEGI becomes rating system in UK for games where would this leave BBFC.

Remember that BBFC stands for British Board FILM Classification. If PEGI get it way why on games then why couldn't movies be self regulated. Meaning no point of BBFC and it has to close up shop.

Yes BBFC is really fighting for it future existence.
