If you buy a game in Aus, it's cheaper to get it from overseas from the UK or US. Even with postage it's often cheaper. If it's single player it's really tempting to just d\l it instead.
Stupid classification board.
In general the generations before 1970 in this country are ultraconservative to the point of lunacy. Seriously, this country has a bad record when it comes to censorship. Go look at the list of books that were censored in the 50s and 60s, makes this look like peanuts.mcminty wrote:

Well.. he has been the sitting member in his electorate for longer than I have been alive (ie. 20+ years.. ) He commands an ultra-conservative older-persons vote and it doesn't look like that will change any time soon.
Well, well, well.Earlier this month, we discussed news that Sega's new Aliens vs. Predator video game had been refused classification in Australia, effectively banning it. After a scathing response from the developer saying they wouldn't censor the game, and later news that the classification scheme may be updated to include an R18+ rating, it now seems that the Classification Board has seen fit to give the game a green light after all.
Sega's Darren Macbeth told Kotaku, "We are particularly proud that the game will be released in its original entirety, with no content altered or removed whatsoever. This is a big win for Australian gamers. We applaud the Classification Review Board on making a decision that clearly considers the context of the game, and is in line with the modern expectations of reasonable Australians."
I don't agree, there has to be a limit.Turquoise wrote:
Free societies should never have a government organization deciding if something is banned or not due to content.
All media regulation of content should be purely private.
There already are limits. Slander, libel, privacy, national security... and... demand.Dilbert_X wrote:

I should start selling banned video games in Aus.
Get rid of the unanimous part, and the problem is solved.Burwhale wrote:
It may change soon though Jord. Theres a bit of background you need to know before you blame the govt for this. One atttourney general in one state is holding this up. The rest of the states are happy to allow this through ( R+ classification for games). The decision must be unanimous, therefore it cant go through. Which is a shame, but progress is being made.
Answer is simple, KILL ALL OLD PEOPLE!mcminty wrote:
