Well, here I am once again p1553d off at the Australian OFLC - I mean changing GTA4 (not by much, but still), changing Dark Sector after not releasing it for how long, and now Fallout 3??? Dear God, don't they realise that we can still hire movies that are much worse than ANYTHING in a video game???? Looks like I'll be importing another game from the US

The solution is simple... if those losers at the Aussie ratings board would get of their cans and just implement an 18+ rating like all the other regions have they wouldn't need to keep banning perfectly fine games like this!

Yeah, me too! What they should be doing is rating them like they do movies - But noooo, that'd probably make too much sense.

Who cares? I've got a copy of Fallout 3 on pre-order/import at the moment and it clocked in at just over AUD$60. If the game hadn't have been banned here it would have cost between AUD$100 and $120. Why would anyone buy games locally? Fallout 3 (DVDBoxOffice.com)

Exactly, they complain and say bad things about the US but still yet adults over there get told what they can and can't see or play (so crazy). So who has the true democracy? Thank-god I live in the US where banning is pretty much against the 1ST amendment! Looks like Aussies should take a a look at our constitution and realize some of their rules there are a lil heavy.

qft... and hopefully they allow AO games in stores sometime soon.. there's a whole world of evil out there that hasn't been digitized yet! :D

The thing that gets me is that in the ACT you can buy fireworks, hardcore porn, prostitution is rife etc etc etc Yet they're worried about a video game????? Come on Australia, wake up!!

I really think that we need someone to start lobbying a new regulation system or something. Oh well, I guess more and more people will just import games. I know I will be for one!

I think it's time for you to start a revolution. :P

But seriously, would petitioning (a real one, not a stupid online one) make any of a difference?

Let's hope they don't ever decide to start that here, remember at one point Wal-Mart quit carrying GTA: Vice City.
