Now because its banned for Sale over here does that mean if i import it from the UK or America and put it in the PS3 will the PS3 recognize that its not supposed to be played in Australia because of the ban and it just wont work?


Stupid Classifications and Govenments:mad:
 
This is getting boring sadly, as it seems anything with even a slight hint of violence or gore get banned there pronto.

Will the Australian government ever realise that these games are made by adults to be played by adults?

Customs in Australia are looking out for imported copies of the game now as well:
ccording to customs, any attempt to import Mortal Kombat is considered illegal as it would be in direct breach of the Australian Customs Regulations 1956. Games that have been refused classification are illegal to sell or promote in the country, which means that Mortal Kombat is pretty much a no-no for Australian gamers.

Chatting with GameSpot AU earlier today, a spokesperson for Australian customs said, "As Mortal Kombat has been refused classification in Australia it is considered objectionable material. It is therefore a prohibited good, and illegal to import into Australia,"

"Any copies of the games detected at the border, including via international mail, will be seized."

The spokesperson noted that anyone caught trying to import refused classification games into Australia could be fined up to three times the value of the product in question, or $110,000 Australian dollars.

What a waste of time and money!
 
I honestly feel for ya.
Your government proper sucks! They need to let adults buy adult games/films. And heavily fine anybody that sells the products to under age people. I say that because if every country did it we wouldn't get loads of kids playing 18+ games!
 
What is really bs is that **** discusting movies like the human centipede are allowed here but mortal kombat isn't :mad:
 
Sod knows.

I'm not even 100 percent sure it's coming out or not for us non plusers! :P

I was tempted to cough up for a 3 month membership for it though, but managed to stop myself at the last minute! :p
