		<description>&lt;p&gt;Ok, looks like I&#039;ll be importing this game. I took a look at amazon.com but they won&#039;t deliver it here. Can anyone recommend a good site to import it from? Or will e-bay be our only option?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve been expecting something like this for a long time, because FPS games have been getting more realistic and more gory every year. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perhaps if the creators had made Fallout 3 turn based and gave it an isometric view point, like the original Fallout games, it would have got past the sensors like the original games did.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No sympathy for Bethesda.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;its so simple, Ive spoken to countless gamers and designers in the industry, my uncle a games designer and agrees the industry is not to blame, a game is a form of art, it&#039;s the same example for the artist who snap shot those portraits of a young female, now that was he&#039;s choice but art is so stigmatised really bad that no soul can depict the essence of art, we as adults know right from wrong, i believe gears of war is violent that&#039;s a game on xbox 360, chainsaw gutting through body, head exploding from a execution but wait, as i write this message some kid under the age is playing gears of war in Sydney or Melbourne or god knows where, the point is how do you justify that you cannot but must i say this game is r rated but is in the system, i&#039;t&#039;s all wrong i say, at times i see kids/teenagers smoking who is to really blame I&#039;m guessing  the parents, it&#039;s the system in denial, what about the neglected aboriginals in northern territory is it now that the government implicates a method of decisions when all these years a cry  is finally heard, that&#039;s just the tip of the ice burg man it doesn&#039;t stop there gambling and list goes on, a child is bound to the parents and what a child learns they notice, now to correct this problem you do not need to be einstein, it&#039;s simple in computer stores r rated games need a id code on the game stating if this game is hocked or deemed misused then a fine s issued, see it&#039;s common sense even people who work in computer stores agree rated games stay in the &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;glass storage, it&#039;s a means to regulate a game not to ban a industry from oblivion, all game makers now black list Australia how the hell do you think it helps the independent developers move forward, we are not America nor the UK, &quot;the statistics are so bad that the profits are nothing&quot; see art is priceless and to deem art trash or inappropriate is a joke.  I&#039;m surprised people have not protested about this, &lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It&#039;s all about the cash.  -Games retailers- need to lobby their MPs and state AGs, arguing that a lot of money that could be spent inside Australia is going overseas because of this.  No-one in power will lift a finger to amend minor, easily-demonised issues like this until -businesses- start complaining.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;THIS is what I typed in and summited in all my disgust, horror, confusion and disapoinment, with a touch of some hope this is 1 of many that have been sent to start the flow of recognition to something that should of been done ALONG time ago.!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To whom it may concern, I have never complained about the Classification department, but considering it is &#039;banning&#039; me from a Game (beeing 25 years of age and able to make my own decisions) I am disgusted and appauled that my own country would tie my own hands behind my back. This has got to end with the indtroduction of an R18+ classification rating for the Games industry, I have been a Fan of Fallout series since day 1, this is obsered! Starcraft 2 has the Indication of using a Needle to inject morphine to &#039;boost&#039; your marines stats, why not ban that to?! Why is the code good for 1 but not the other, Bioshock ring a bell? Please for the sake of this goverment of ours NOT inforcing piracy or inporting (which undoubtabley people will be forced to do out of the act of freedom of speach unto themselves) inforce a Strict but fair R18+ rating on games, theirs enough things out their worse then games then what&#039;s in the contence of the games themselves, have a look at the internet for example just google 1 word and BAM, also dvd&#039;s, adult stores ect ect. Why are you beeing so strict on these games when they are for ADULT entertainment (considering the chonra we are talking about)- Fallout - and as adults, I for one, will NOT have my voice unheard nor have me right&#039;s privelages as a human beeing to make MY own dececisons takin away from me, while I understand and agree somewhat about the keeping it away from kids and unstable adults, I do NOT agree that this is to be a blanket effect on the majority of people who are SANE working class Tax paying citizens, please revoke your decision on the Ban of Fallout and do not let it go into the hands of children by PERSIFING the context of the game as such to the target audience which we are The MATURE minded, able to make dececions for themselves, non insane majority called society.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
