Washington - The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) annual
undercover sting operation where underage consumers try to buy R-rated movie
tickets, DVDs and M-rated video games has found a dramatic improvement at video
game retailers, where its secret shoppers were able to buy M-rated games just
20% of the time -- down from 42% in 2007 and 85% in 2000.
The video game
industry and retail partners also fared better than movie theaters, where
secret shoppers gained access to R-rated films 36% of the time, and DVD
retailers, where R-rated title purchases were successful 47% of the time.
