Lynk Former Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Australia is an island though. Importing anything bigger than a letter is going to cost the buyer more than the game is likely worth to them. Oh, sure, some will do it, but the problem is how much it's going to drive up price. ...I live in Australia and have imported plenty of stuff from ebay and online stores. Most places don't even charge postage fees at all or the postage is just 5 - 10 bucks or something... and then even if there is postage costs, the overall price of the item is actually cheaper than if you got it in Australia in the first place. ...so yeah, I think I'd know better than you would about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Ah, well. That's sad. I'm sure it'll get into the right hands though, despite it being 'banned'. :-D Easy.

Sam Fisher Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I thought it was chainsaws and axes more than 'beating' this time around...? Heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Aww. What the hell. Now it's banned. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/ban-on-zombie-game/story-e6frf96f-1225780192725 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 @ Sam: The news thingy says "banned from sale" which means that they can't sell it here in retail stores and that's what the original refusal of classification meant. It's not a "ban from owining" or "ban from importing"... XD which means you can still import it, no problems... unless Valve really doesn't let Aussie users register it on Steam, which would suck. HARD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 it says "The game can no longer be sold, imported or advertised in Australia. The decision has reignited debate over a lack of an R18+ rating for video games in Australia." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
