    I know of the whole rating fiasco that happened, and all that, so no need to explain it to me. But, I was wondering what rating your box has? I went into a GameStop and bought it without anyone over 18 because both my box and disc say T on it. (Mind you I am under 18.) So yeah, what do you have, and do you think it's weird that I could just walk in and buy an 'official' M rated game without someone over 18?

    My original was teen because I got it at launch...eventually I ended up selling it and re-buying the GOTY edition which is M.  I wouldn't say it's weird they let you because they probably just look at the what the box says and don't even think about it.

    I have the GOTY edition, so it's a solid M. My friend got the collector's edition though, and that's T.

    I have an early 360 version and it is indeed rated Teen. Always thought M made more sense though, some of the later stuff in the Dark Brotherhood is pretty messed up.

    M-Rated copy. 
    I always thought their rating change was pretty dumb, though.

    Not really. Occasionally you'll get a cashier who either isn't on the ball or just doesn't care.
     
    I don't think I've ever been told "no" before, but although I am under 17, I look older.

    Mine says T, but I got it pretty much day one, so that's why.

    T. Got a copy from the first day of release. 
     
    I felt that Morrowind had more questionable content than did Oblivion at points. Though it's hard to deny the sheer shock value of seeing a rotting corpse hanging naked from its ankles.

    I have an M rated 360 copy.  You only have to be 17 to purchase Mature rated games by the way, not 18.

    The reason it got changed from  T to M is because there was a file that shipped with the disk of a topless woman. It didn't show up in the vanilla game, but on PC they found it pretty quick. Why it shipped on the 360 and PS3 Version I many never know.

    My bro actually picked it up before the rating got changed, so my box says "T". 
    Really no reason that rating should have been changed, btw.

    It was initially released as Teen, but then they found that there was a topless model WAY WAY in the back of the game files that was never used. Because of this the ESRB re-rated it M, even though they have since removed said model from current discs.

    Weird, it looks like a lot of people have/had T. I figured most people had M boxes because that's all I ever see in stores and stuff.
