 Send to email | PEGI Should Be Legal Standard In UK - ELSPA [PEGI] in PEGI BBFC byron report Censorship elspa Law Legal News Ratings Uk |  By Stuart Houghton
el 21-Nov-2008 |  The consultation period for the UK's Byron Review into age ratings and the effects of videogames on children has now concluded and the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) have presented their report to the UK Government.

PEGI ratings could be legal standard by 2010 [MCV]
