Australia sucks if your a gamer....

That is all we can do! We have tried writing petition, harassing the OFLC, sending abusive letters to our heads of Government (well I'm sure someone has) and even going on TV to bring this to the publics attention but it hasn't worked! If you can think of something that will work, tell us!

Vote in record numbers for free speech?

Regardless of the negative opinions people have expressed towards this I have created a petition that we can all sign and i will get as many people as I know to sign in an attempt to change the OFLC's mind. If you want to add your name then here is the link. http://davidjoseph.edublogs.org/petition-to-oflc/. Please DONT be abusive in there and please make sure you follow the guidelines on the page!

I've heard Australia don't even have Rock Band yet, and Rock Band 2 is set to come out this year for the yanks. Is this true?

Yeah, and now there's even talk of not releasing Rock Band (either of them) at all in Australia. Sucks to be them.

Those who dont live here dont understand....

all our video games are $90+ for new releases, which is understandable when our dollar was half that of america...but now it is close to even... why should we have to spend twice as much on games... we cant even buy games over steam because of this...

we have to wait months and months to even get games that everywhere else has been out for ages.

we only get the ass end of games, if they dont do well in japan and america, fat chance in hell of us seeing it (ive been dying to play front mission 4 and 5 but it never made it here).

We dont have R18+ rating, so alot of games get banned, or re-realse with stuff cut out and or changed....

wtf this country sucks for gamers.....

This is why in south america the 99,9% ( I have never actually met someone who doesn't ) of gamers buy pirate copys of games or download games from Internet.

understand us. 1$ = 3USD +taxes+exporters being greedy= average game cost = 300$
