Can minors buy M rated video games?

There's no such thing as a "rated R" game in the US. The closest ESRB ratings equivalent to an MPAA "R" rating for a movie would probably be M.

It's not actually a crime for a retailer to sell or rent an M-rated game to someone under 17, or an AO-rated game to someone under 18. Most retailers do have a policy of voluntarily abiding by the ESRB ratings, though, and it can be difficult to find a place that's willing to incur the potential wrath of parents by selling M or AO games to children.

In summary, the short answer is: you don't. Ask your parents to buy it for you. The game shop will happily sell such a game to your dad, and what he then does with it is up to him.

Certainly; an adult can buy a game for you if the adult so chooses.

no... Unless the person selling the games is an idiot. You have to be 17+ to buy or sell a rated M video game.
