San Andreas: AO Rating
A serious investigation was launched earlier into the hidden feature in San Andreas, which the Hot Coffee Mod made available to everyone. With the mod, we can watch CJ getting up close and personal with the ladies, which wasn't possible before. Because of this, the ESRB (the board that rates entertainment software) started looking into the matter, and now it has handed down its verdict.

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. announced today that the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has changed the rating of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on all platforms from "Mature 17+" (M) to "Adults Only 18+" (AO).
This has consequences, because in America they don't like the AO rating. Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Target have already pulled the game from their shelves and don't intend to sell it any longer.
The rating on all platforms is no accident, since just last week the online magazine Gamespot used an Action Replay Max card to bring the hidden feature out in the PlayStation 2 version too, which had been bought in October 2004.
Take 2 Games announced: "Rockstar Games has stopped production of the current version and will make a patch available for download for the PC version that prevents the mod from working."
