The store has a right to deny the sale to a minor, and technically they can deny the right to sell the game to anyone. They could choose not to sell games to black people one day. But that's just bad publicity.
Although Best Buy still is thriving and they have tons of bad publicity....
I agree with thatmariolover...this whole story does seem embellished. It probably wouldn't have taken much to talk this over with the manager, especially if there was a long line. I worked in retail for a year and a half and the goal is usually to make the customer happy. Still, Best Buy is a cesspool of corporate evil, so it's easy to take sides.

On the other hand, if the game was something like Manhunt and you were buying it for your kid (under age 13) I would try to slap your ass with a lawsuit if I had any proof.
This is such a great topic for debate. I really wish politicians would educate themselves and get involved in the discussion
