I like to be able to look up the ratings early, so I can make sure that a game that is commercialized all over the place can be looked up before my kid gets the idea that he can have it. This potentially gives a publisher the right to hold the ratings at bay until the day of release. So no knowledge of what a game might be rated until then, sounds rather bad. I hope there is a limit to how late they can submit these ratings. Just the parent in me ranting. As a site writer, this is understandable, but as a parent, it kind of sucks.

I can understand the irritation the companies face. Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia and Mega Man 9 were all over the web long before they were announced. It was only a matter of time.
