What are the chances of an uncut version of L4D2 getting into Australia.

**Nick'sHand** · 12-30-09, 06:29 AM

I'm currently importing one from Hong Kong.
(Can't wait!) What are the chances that customs WONT seize it.
I'm really into horror games and, to be taken away from this particular game, I would find rather heart breaking. ='[

Jay-sus! Is it really that bad in Oz that customs will seize a game purely because it is 'gory'?

I guess Yahtzee (Zero Punctuation) was right wrt Austrailia and their policy on games etc.

:S Yeah. Afraid so

Got any thoughts on it? I need all the reassurance on an answer as I can get.

I don't know much about Oz customs, however I have ordered lots from abroad (HK and the like) and have had no problems with British customs (HMRC), and they are known as right Nazis here, so you may be in luck.

Chances are they will just stamp it/do what they do without actually siezing it. I take it you have aleady ordered it, in which case just wait and see buddy.

That actually does help, even though you aren't Aussie. :P
Thank you so effing much.

bought mine off ebay from japan was fine

They wont seize it as far as I understand. I'm fairly sure it is only illegal to sell RC games in Australia. Importing them is fine, I believe.

Note: this is what I think and may not be fact.

Importing is good. The law only restricts all games to having to have maximum MA15+ rating.

No "MA18+" rating as you know.

Since you are getting a game imported, I doubt that it will be a problem because the ban is only on the SALE of games in Australia. What you bring over is not a problem.

Wow that sure sucks. Hope you get it, but I don't see how anything would happen that would keep it from coming to you.

Since you are getting a game imported, I doubt that it will be a problem because its Mature rated in Hong Kong, its fine.

For a game to be RELEASED in Australia, it has to be rated T since that is the maximum rating.

No. We have things stop at MA15+, and that is very lenient.

I imported my copy from New Zealand, it's fantastic. The law only halts the sale of the game in Australia, not TO Australia, so importing it is A-OK, however once it gets here if you chose to sell it they'd lock your ass up.
