re: Please help me settle an argument about GTAV with my teenager

C'mon The kid is 15. Let him play some GTA. I was 13 (I think) when Vice City came out. My friends and I played the crap out of that game when it came out.

The only time I ever got to play Vice City was at a friend's house. To this day I've never owned a GTA. I wanted to play them when I was younger, but I guess I grew out of it. I had Saints Row 2 but that's about it in terms of sandbox shoot 'em up genre.

I agree with the majority in this thread. He'll live if he doesn't get to own this game. Will he eventually play it at a friend's house? Sure. But there's a huge difference in playing something alone in your room than with a group of friends. The mindset is totally different. Just because he'll play it elsewhere doesn't mean you make it readily available for him to access at any time.
