I'd want to slap those parents. The same way I wanted to slap the parents who brought their 5 y/o kid to SAW VI. Furthermore, if retailers are being told by a customer that they're buying it for young children, they need to (at the very LEAST) bring attention to the rating.
I was in a GameCrazy a few weeks ago, and this 10 y/o kid was talking to me about how his mom lets him play M-rated games. When she heard him, she went beet-red... and then proceeded to buy him Halo 3: ODST.
That said, I heard a rumor (FWIW) about a month ago that SCEA didn't anticipate as much demand as they got for the GoW Collection, and underordered on Blu-ray production. As such, they were scrambling in recent weeks to get more made, which might explain the 2-3 day lag some retailers are reporting. My local GameStop has the release date as 11/20.
