The Coalition for Independent Ratings Services

is a non-profit organization that promotes independent ratings services.  We believe is crucial that the groups rating the movies, TV, video games, etc are not the same ones who are trying to sell those products to you.  Since they don't have a financial interest in any particular product, independent ratings providers can be much more objective.


The goal of this site is to be a "one-stop shop" for everything related to independent ratings systems and services.

Game console as a Set-top box

For the past several years we have heard about the coming integration of TV, Web and Video games.   Sony, Microsoft Corp. and Nintendo are making deals with cable networks, major film studios, and Netflix Inc. to provide access to TV and films through their game consoles.  The agreements position the console makers to challenge pay-TV service providers like cable and satellite companies.  You can read more details about it here.

From the ratings perspective this offers both a challenge and an opportunity.  The challenge is that it appears that children sitting at a game console will now that access to a wide range of cable TV and movie content.  But if it is all integrated into one place, then this increases the possibility of an integrated platform of ratings/controls to help parents monitor the content.
