Fallout 3 unbanned in Australia, edited down under

It's only edited in the countries that use the OFLC rating system. Though in most cases games that are refused classification by the OFLC still make their way over to New Zealand unedited due to the fact the country can use an R18+ rating.

New Zealand is being edited as well, so was their GTA4.

I live in Australia and I'm importing it.

Didn't GTA4 recently get an R18+ in New Zealand after a fan submitted the uncut version?

Problem is that it isn't the violence that got Fallout 3 banned.

Any game that contains drug use with positive side effects is immediately refused classification. From their Guidelines for the Classification of Films and Computer Games:
"Interactivity includes the use of incentives and rewards, technical features and competitive intensity. As a general rule:

· except in material restricted to adults, nudity and sexual activity must not be related to incentives or rewards

* material that contains drug use and sexual violence related to incentives or rewards is Refused Classification.

Impact may be lessened where reference to a classifiable element is verbal rather than visual. For example, a verbal reference to sexual violence is generally of less impact than a visual depiction. Also, some visual impacts have less impact than others: for example, an incidental depiction may have less impact than a direct one."

Coming from someone who lives in Australia, i don't mind adding another VERY VERY VERY to your comment. We also have one of the best welfare systems in the world and fairest tax systems. Heck my partner gets $1700 a month from the government just for us having two kids, and thats fairly close to US dollars. Not to mention the $1200 once a yr bonus (dont have to pay it back), another $500 once a yr bonus, a $250 bonus when your child is fully immunised at 12 months, 2 more $250 a yr bonuses and all new parents get $5000 per child when the child is born ($10,000 for the 3rd child). AND ITS TAX FREE. That and our economy is booming, and our Fords/GMs are FAR nicer than the US models. God Bless Austalia.

I wanna move to australia :( besidesu don't have insane terrorists trying to destroy your country, and America sucks right now, I can't get a job. Just tell me u guys have dunkin donuts :)

Yeah we're terrorist free. We've been threatened, especially since the 3 main countries serving in Afganistan and Iraq are the US, Britain and Australia, but no action against us yet. Sorry but what is a dunkin donut? LOL. That was a serious question BTW.

So do you get paid whenever you convince someone to move to Australia or something?

I'd take hot girls over videogames, sounds like a fair trade...

but then again i live in southern california, definitely no shortage of hot girls here.

Huntsman spiders scare the living shit outta me.

I live right next to new York city, ya think there'd be some hot girls here but nooooo, when I go to college Im gonna do an exchange program and go to Australia, and dunkin donuts is what makes us Americans!!!! It's a donut/coffee store.

Well, according to what Foe says, I don't plan on moving to Australia any time soon. Us productive people tend to dislike supporting what is effectively an obscenely generous free ride.
