Hahaha, it's not like ya'll are going to miss out on a good game. ;)

man, i really feel for you guys down there in Australia.

i always hear about good games that get banned in Australia, there's D-bags in charge in Australia!

Its not like RCing a game restricts it in any way, the one and only effect it has is to rob local retailers of a sale because everyone imports it. The worst case scenario for the local economy is that its the first thing people will import, they'll realise how easy it is to do and see the vast amount of money they save then take it up for all their game buying

Lucky guy. Don't forget your complimentary pitchforks and torches so we can show our government how we like their idea to give more money to people who have more money. I'm also hearing that flame throwers are back in vogue this year.

I'd probably be more outraged if it was a game I'd actually want to play.

I think you should be outraged at the sheer fact that this is happening. If selective outrage is the norm, the governing bodies have the easiest case of divide and rule on their hands.

What I mean to say is: when there will actually be something you'll want to play, less people will voice their concern because of this selective outcry.

Yeah on a civil liberties front this is appalling that this is still happening despite the obvious cry for a suitable classification. Every time they do this people just download it illegally and play it anyway...

in fact people are more likely to do it just to see what the fuss was about

Not always.... If your a PS3 owner you can just easily import it.... saves you about $30 from buying it at the shop as well :D

the forbidden fruit is always the most tasty :)

You can do that with the 360 & PC versions too

360 games may or may not have region locking depending on the developer and in Mortal Kombat's case there "may be" a PC version...

I've never once seen evidence of region locking in 360 games and I've imported somewhere along the lines of 30 from a wide variety of publishers and countries. I'm at the point of declaring that to be an urban legend or a confusion over PAL50/60 settings
