Fallout 3 Edited Version To Hit Australian Shelves 91
UgLyPuNk contributes this excerpt from Internode Games Network, which might interest Australian readers in particular: "Just last week, we told you that Fallout 3 had been resubmitted to the Classifications Board, in the hope that it would be deemed suitable for Australian audiences.
While the Classifications Board can take between a few days and a few weeks to hand down their decision — it seems that the edits made to the Bethesda Softworks title have been successful, with the second edition of the game granted a new MA15+ rating this afternoon. We don't yet have the details of the decision, but are currently finding out just what was changed in the game in order to secure the new rating — and release in this country."

What I can't understand is why they don't just allow the R18+ (like movies) and be done with it.
They still have the power to refuse classification if it's featuring illegal or seriously freaky shit.

not necessarily pirate - mod it with files from other countries like I've done with many European games that have been edited for US markets by major publishers.

But they have to. You see, if this game were to make it to market in Australia, it would awaken the criminal gene of the population.
