Wow, what's up with gaming in Oz? Even when they allow the games into the country they cost an arm and a leg. (No pun intended).

What's it like importing games in Australia to get around the bans / exorbitant costs? Do customs crack down on that sort of thing?

Quite easy actually, as importing games it's easy. To date I have not had a problem with importing games, and I import abroad (USA, EU, ASIA).

Our customs is quite strict, but that mainly pertains to natural objects for a fear of the OMGZ DIZEASEZZZZ. In any case, many just import from NZ. Games that are refused OFLC classification usually find their way over there under a R18+ rating there. I think GTA4 was the only game that was refused classification that didn't make its way to NZ uncut.

To anyone who thinks there's too much censorship in America, just remember:

It gets worse.

No need to censor yourself, except if that was the point.

This is why I'm not a liberal.

They're way too conservative minded for me.

Because replacing a couple letters with stars apparantly maks it.....wait, no, it still has the same meaning, so why isn't frigging as taboo as fucking? Both have the same damn meaning.

If you're naked and you cover yourself with your hands you're still naked.
If you say fuck and you put bleep out some of the letters you're still saying 'fuck'.

But does that mean if we were naked in the streets we shouldn't bother trying to cover ourselves with our hands? Perhaps we should do so for the sake of other people...

They should do this in Europe aswell, because it sure as hell isn't going to be a Fallout game.

Fuck you bethesda.

Yeah, they also make it easy for us Australian's to import stuff since our media isn't meant to be region locked.

I wish every Australian would just say "up yours" to the government and import all of their games and other media but that's just not gonna happen.

I hate MA15+ being the highest classification.

Please Microsoft, copy Sony and make games region free next time.
I could be playing rockband if it weren't for you (and maybe EA hehe) ;_;

This is exactly why games aren't region free. MS, Sony and the big N wouldn't even be allowed to sell hardware if the local government thought police couldn't rate objectionable material out of existence.
