US top court to decide California video game law

WASHINGTON, April 26 | Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:15am EDT

WASHINGTON, April 26 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court said on Monday that it would decide whether a California law banning the sale and rental of violent video games to minors violated constitutional free-speech guarantees.

The justices agreed to hear an appeal by the state after a U.S. appeals court based in California struck down the law, which also imposes video game labeling requirements. (Reporting by James Vicini, Editing by Paul Simao)
