They're one of the only countries to have a max rating of 15 years old and under. That's just beyond stupid. They need to get a real 18 rating.

This is precisely why the USA is the best country in the world.

Still do love them Aussies though.

No L4D2, maybe no MW2...

...and their internet is being filtered, so no more porn!

Man, I'd hate to live in Australia entertainment-wise.

Our internet isn't being filtered. If it happens then I'm fucking off to Europe.

Dude, this thread makes Australia sound like a "mommy and daddy" country... Is it true that you guys are taxed on the amount of pets you have? My friend who went and visited there told me her host family had to do that.

LOL no :P that's ridiculous. 

I've already put money down for this...
I sense that many death threats will be made to Michael Atkinson if this game is censored.

So the Australian government wont allow Modern Warfare 2, but they are all for Grand theft auto?

Hopefully it will do the same as what Manhunt 2 did for us in the UK and just be released quietly a few months after the buzz has died down.

Perhaps the Australian Council on Children and the Media should spend more time educating parents on how to better supervise their childrens' game playing/purchasing habits instead of lobbying to get a game banned that it is the right of any grown adult to play.

This honestly makes me furious, it's a total crock of shit.

dude i live in saudi arabia where britneyspears.com is blocked! but we never ever censor or block games, it's just plain pathetic and stupid. Hell we don't even have a game rating system.
