How much does it cost to get a PEGI rating ?
As far as i know, the game does not feature sexual themes or nudity.. wouldnt it be M (US) or 18+ then?
Why are some new games getting BBFC ratings? Like Burnout Revenge, SSX on Tour for example. -- Thorpe talk 16:07, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
In the UK, believe that if a video game is classified by both PEGI and BBFC, the BBFC is the highest one they enforce in britian. I even checked the games for myself in the BBFC website at www.bbfc.org

Just for the sake of historical accuracy, the BBFC ratings were not legally-binding until 2010 ( source) due to a legal oversight, but most large retailers voluntarily treated both BBFC and PEGI ratings as binding for their staff anyway, so the change was barely noticed. It's also notable that the two attempts by the BBFC to have a game withdrawn from sale were both overturned, undermining their credibility. - Prince of Cats ( talk) 12:32, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
According to the PEGI website, it's only used in 16 nations: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. -- 88.134.44.250 03:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
"(albeit with zero legal effect, computer games being legally unrestrictable)"
This was just added to the Ireland entry in the list of countries PEGI operates in. But isn't it true in all countries? As far as I'm aware, PEGI ratings never have any legal effects; they are just recommendations. -- Tom Edwards 08:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
I noticed the omission of Germany in the list of countries. I ask because a few games released in Germany *do* have a PEGI rating on them, although they are rendered useless by the presence of the USK mark which overrides them. I'm not sure if they're there for posterity's sake or if the PEGI rating is there for the Austrian market?

Does anyone have the Gambling icon? If not I'll add a small one. Double Dash ( Talk to me) 22:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC) Nope, ignore me. I'm just gonna add the new icons for 'em. Edit at 22:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC) it also is the os for online gambling
What an odd category. Is it actually applied very often? I see Original War as an example, but what are some others?-- SeizureDog 11:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
What is the PEGI equivalent of Rating Pending (ESRB)? -- Voidvector 01:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
There is'nt any. People just say somthing like that the game is not yet rated or that the rating is TBD.

(first time using Wikipedia, I'm French, please excuse my poor english :)) The reference's link " http://www.gamestop.de/product_info.php?products_id=5301" lead to "Produkt wurde nicht gefunden!", I think it is better to delete this link because it's a dead link, and replace it (if needed) with a non-commercial link because Wikipedia isn't for ads (but I do not say the previous author wanted to sell Halo 2 game, maybe there was a good picture on this webpage). (I didn't delete it myself because I don't know if I can delete it without discussion, and don't know how to do it correctly too) -- Dude Of Destiny 22:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I removed "The Simpsons Game" from the "Comparison and criticism" section because the BBFC gave it a 12+, PEGI's site doesn't say anything, but Play.com says PEGI gave it a 12+ too. -- Zoton2 19:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
The new icons are icons I found for PEGI on wiki commons created by users. I have used SVG version when they are available. -- Voidvector 10:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
On this page it says that South Africa uses the PEGI system, even though South Africa is not in Europe. Is it a mistake having it on the page? The Editor 155 ( talk) 12:44, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Is the PEGI rating 12+ the same as the ESRB rating T?{{SUBST:Must destroy Spock}} 18:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
It's the equivelent, but some games rated T by ESRB are rated 16+ by PEGI. -- Yowuza ZX Wolfie 12:18, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Some of the text added by Jennifer1986 ( talk · contribs) appears to be copied verbatim from PEGI's official website, which is "© 2007 Interactive Software Federation of Europe. All rights reserved.". Someone has to clean it up. I can do it, but not now. I also don't like the current structure of the article. -- Daggerstab ( talk) 09:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
in the 'age ratings' section, it says: "...mature(low end) and teen(high end)." shouldn't these be the other way round? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.13.3.76 ( talk) 19:33, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Just found this bit of news. The article here for the PEGI and the BBFC article may need to be updated accordingly, if it hasn't already been done. 74.215.114.200 ( talk) 18:15, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
As per this link, PEGI has new icons. Some are the old black and white icons restyled, but the age icons are now coloured. Is there any chance of these being SVG'd? Overlord 11001001 17:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, I live in Finland, and I haven't seen 15+-rating in ages. Now almost every game that is 16+ in other parts of Europe, it's 16+ at here, too —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.220.129.81 ( talk) 18:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Do you think that we should stop this talk page, or start this again, because this is my first time being here. Gautam008 ( talk) 17:06, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
i couldnt find any good ways to write it so i am bringing it up here in hopes that a good writer will write it for me. people below 18 must supply ID in order to buy games rated 16 or 18 at the very least though i believe that it might apply to other ages as well but that isnt known for certain to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.208.59.120 ( talk) 08:28, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

A certain IP editor claims that Quebec uses ESRB rather than PEGI. I have a feeling that he's wrong, but just to be sure, let's double-check the sources that Quebec uses PEGI. The Mysterious El Willstro ( talk) 04:07, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

For the Discrimination label, the article claims that "As of yet, no games have received this descriptor." I'm not sure if I understand this correctly since my first language is not English, but if it's claiming that no game has been marked with the label, it's not true.
Original War ( http://www.pegi.info/en/index/global_id/505/?searchString=original+war&agecategories=&genre=&organisations=&platforms=&countries=&submit=Search)
and Swat: target Liberty ( http://www.pegi.info/en/index/global_id/505/?searchString=target+liberty&agecategories=&genre=&organisations=&platforms=&countries=&submit=Search#searchresults)
very much do have this tag on the official PEGI website. There's also no reference for this claim. MMK229 ( talk) 17:58, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
@ Betty Logan: PEGI 18 is restrictive. In PEGI article, 3 says, "Suitable for all ages.". 7 says, "Recommended for persons 7 and older.". 12 says, "Suitable for persons 12 and older.". 16 says, "Suitable for persons 16 and older.". However, 18 says, "Suitable only for persons 18 and older.". These show that 7/12/16 has no restrictions but 18 has parental restrictions, don't they? BTW, in Television content rating system, Indonesia BO series carry parental supervision requision, not recommendation for specific age range, like Taiwan 6+ (for 6-11) and South Korea 7 (for 7-9).
