I've seen a lot of NC-17 equivalent movies here in Canada, in theatres, but that's likely because our ratings system is significantly more permissive than the MPAA's. It does involve going to smaller theatres a lot of the time, but that doesn't bother me at all.

But the cinema argument is also a bit of a red herring -- your DVD player doesn't refuse to play a DVD of an NC-17 film. Movies have two (or three, if you count TV) vectors for delivery, games do not (in that making different platform versions is often the equivalent to making different movies).

I agree it is a red herring in general. That's why I asked when do you see NC-17 movies in a cinema (in the US).
