Mortal Combat Banned in Australia

[Grennan]

PS3's are region free AFAIK. So they arent restricted to Region 4 or i think PAL games (which I believe is what Australia is) media like movies etc. So you can just buy it off an online store in another country.

With Xbox you have to find a game that matches your region code. Which typically is the UK.

Techincally PS3 isnt region free. Most blu ray movies are region locked, all games are region free though. (With the exception being stranglehold)

As for the classification, the next SCAG meeting is in march so hopefully they'll impose R18 for games :/

the only problem with importing is that the save files are locked to that region.

example is my mate imported assassins creed brotherhood and i borrowed it for a bit before buying my own copy which i got from EB games and i had to start all over again because of the different region

ahh mortal kombat.. brings back memories of a lost youth and fortune spent in arcades trying to master it!!

i wonder how many members here can remember when it first hit the arcades back in the day???

Hahaha hell yeah. Didn't get into the third one, but I spent a fortune on the first two.

as useual another great game gets banned thanks to annoying Australia, and yet Duke somehow dosn't get banned:rofl2:

I think its pathetic to ban this game when there are games that depict equally realistic violence and sex (God of war 3 you get the choice to murder a partially clothed woman with her breasts exposed who is crying out for help and also a part where you play a sex minigame to proceed through the game, I wont even get started on GTA4 lol) Australia is becoming a politically correct (when it suits the government) sissy country.

Funny... A game like Wii Dare gets a rating but MK doesnt.
