The Electronic Software Rating Board, better known as the ESRB, has been around since the first violent mainstream game, the original Mortal Kombat, hit homes back in 1994. Since then, the independent content advisory board has evolved its tactics by utilizing sophisticated techniques.

Patricia Vance, the president of the ESRB, announced a new application that comes pre-loaded on the PSP Go (seen above). The application informs gamers, usually parents or guardians, about the the content rating guidelines and teaches them how to use the PSP’s parental controls.

Just a word of advice: if players have no need for this gaming education, they can opt to delete the application from their go to free up some space for more Mini’s.

@DGRM lol.
I grow up in the Philippines and I find it lucky that we don’t have ratings or anything (even with alcohol and smokes). But I do agree about the content that kids would be seeing. Some would be really unappropriate for them. *sigh* I’ve grown up, did i?
