We've never had Aussies cut rubbish before, we (NZ) rated it uncut in Feb and it got an R18.

Unless of course Take 2 cut the versions prior to being rated, which would make the most sense atm. I'm guessing that was how they issued them in this region for classification due to Australia's past history with the game.

Looks a lot better to let everyone think you've been forced to cut the game then having done it yourselves. What a bunch of rebels.

What's annoying for New Zealanders is they actually have an R18+ rating, so the game should be uncut

Australians obviously can't handle the game.

But seriously, PS3 games aren't region coded so importing should be simple. Not sure about the 360 version, but I assume it would be equally as simple.

I don't care about the edited version im gonna buy my Aussie version and if I have any problem with it ill import the US version from play-asia. I also read the OFLC rating site and the game still contains Strong violence, Strong coarse language, Drug and sexual references so the edits can't be that extreme even Rockstar said they wouldn't release the game here if it affected the game in any way.

Here here. I'm 20 and I should be allowed to buy mature games in my own country. The Australian OFLC better get an R18 rating for games in my life time, otherwise I'm going to relocate. LOL. But seriously, first they censor our games, ban others, then what?... They're sure to find something else to complain about, and ruin for everyone. It ends now! I will not be told what I can and can't play! Shame on the government... shun the unbelievers... shun!

I contacted "The Gamesman" here in New Zealand, and according to them, the version we will be receiving will be the uncut edition carrying the R18 rating.

I feel so bad for Aussies when it comes to gaming. Sorry guys. Someone should organize a mass protest.

Can Australians not just import an uncensored copy since the PS3 is region free?
