The Godfather II swag kit contained brass knuckles, game now out |
Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: Electronic Arts, Europe, Pennsylvania

The entire package was very well done, with a small wooden cigar box, cheap stogie included, a pack of matches, a pair of dice and a piece of wire. The details put into it are also said to be impressive, with a few matchsticks missing from the pack, and smelling faintly of burnt sulfur. On the inside cover of the matchbox is scrawled a phone number.
That sounds definitely cool, although some states like Pennsylvania (where GamePolitics, being one of the recipients of said swag bag, is based) prohibit brass knuckles. However, as they pointed out, it's not all that bad cos there is an exception to the general rule, and that is if the weapon is solely as a curio, or included in a dramatic performance.
Well, The Godfather II is a dramatic performance, right?
The Godfather II is tagged at a MSRP US$ 59.99 for both consoles, while the PC version is tagged at US$ 49.99. It will be available in Europe on April 10th.

The law covers "metal knuckles" as "prohibited": Section 908(c) of the Crimes Code, 18 Pa.C.S. § 908(c)
case law:

However, violating the law for this is merely a 1st degree misdemeanor carrying a score of 4:

In other words, so long as it's at home on a bookshelf, you're OK to possess these. If you happen to get pulled over coming home from the post office with your box of toys, the worst that can happen (with no previous criminal record) is they'll take them from you if the officer is a ***** that day.
