That's why I will be importing mine from the US :)
Region free ps3 FTW!!!

But on a serious note I doubt it will impact the essence of the game too much. Should still be a very enjoyable game. Also isn't this game available on PC??

Have people considered forming your own political party to protest against these dickhead bureaucrats who make bad decisions that they do not know anything about. In Australia they will be editing GTA 4 and taking away all the blood and the swearing will be gone. I hate it when games sound like this to comply with legislation. Instead of "fuck off" it will be "please go away". Dark Sector was banned completely in Australia and I wanted that game. Ninja Gaiden 2 could also get banned and that game will be awesome and what people want mainstream is realistic games so they can escape reality. Too many Mario and Zelda games are out in my opinion.

T5hat sucks for your austrailia, my sympathys go out to you, at least you can import.

You can always import a copy of GTAIV...They won't "ban" the importation of the game...I don't think.

I mean it in this way: are they going to open your package and see that it's GTAIV, and then throw it away? If not...All that'd matter is you ask someone to goto a store and buy a copy of the game, and mail it to you.

Do we know whether or not the 360 version will be region locked yet?

@ Starcraft

Aren't all 360 games region-locked?

...

This is why you should own a PS3!

Why cant it be sold in the ACT?, you can buy x rated porn there but not in any other state or territory.

Cheeky little kitten!!

Looks like you won't be playing the 'definitive' version starcraft ;)

I know huh?

Oh well.  At least it will be more definitive than the Australian PS3 version.  Unless the government decides to censor the DLC as well.
