NY Governor Signs Bill Regulating Game Sales

Though no state has succeeded in promulgating such laws acceptable to state supreme courts, legislatures and executives haven't stopped trying:

New York Gov. David Paterson signed a bill into law on Tuesday that will require the prominent display of ratings and require game consoles sold in New York to have technology that allows parents to block certain games. The law also requires the state to create an advisory council to review video games' voluntary ratings system for accuracy and effectiveness.

Prediction: only the advisory council will survive judicial review.
