Consumer Advice : Drug Use 

 

Lol just drug use .

[CompSci88]

At least they don't ban this.

[GetMitched]

At least it won't get banned unlike Saints Row 4, the only con of being in Australia. :/

[McJacs2]

Is that equivalent to Ao in America?

[Brenden]

Lucky I'm 18, day one purchase. Thank god this didn't get banned.

Out of everything in GTA, major concern is drug use.  Not a shocker, even though everything else also had strong impact.

Am I the only one who sees the contradiction here? Saints Row IV got banned for the same thing, yet GTA V gets an R18+ rating. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the ACB are way too inconsistent.

I've always been curious.  Can't you guys in AUS just get around it by having a buddy in another country just slap a different label on the disk and send it to ya when games get banned?  It sucks you have to do that, however, it seems like a fairly easy go-around.  I suppose just getting to trust somebody overseas would be the hardest part.  If you already know somebody it'd be a no-brainer.

We actually don't even have to do that, it's not illegal to import games that have been refused classification, unless the individual is planning on selling it within Australia, then it becomes illegal.

Huh...learn something new every day.  I thought they wouldn't even import it.  I suppose it cost a pretty penny to do so.  Thanks for the clarification.

Nope, just the cost of the game plus shipping (if the site charges for shipping), it's actually a good way to save money too, as it's usually cheaper than buying a game new here, our games are usually $80-$100 new.
