So I really want the orange box for PC, but I dont have a credit/debit card to buy it on steam and my parents dont wanna let me use thiers. So i decide to just buy it retail in gamestop and then register it on steam later. So the guy working there asks me for ID and i give him my school ID card, and he says I cant buy it. Its rated M for Mature so i have to be 17. I am currently 16 and my b-day is in 2 months. Im like r u kidding me? So i just walk out. While walking out i see like a 8 year old kid picking up gta4 for the 360 and goes to his mom and says "mommy can i have this one", and the mom says ok and the guy sells it to her. Im like LOLWUT. its messed up man. Im planning to go around in normal game stores to look for it. Also i cant ask my parents to buy it for me since they dont want me playin video games and think 1 video game a year on my b-day is enough. Thankfully I have a acekard to get me through.

Just go buy it on walmart or target. They rarely ask for ID.

Yeah, they have to. I think you should go buy it from Steam with an American express or visa gift card. I'm pretty sure you can use those online.

Lol people actually do that and especially around your age? I never would of thought it was a problem since most kids play games like that already. If i worked there i wouldnt give a crap, same with movie theaters.
