This is a shame, because Saints Row is incredibly fun to play. I just hope that site, or FR don't mind me posting about this.

The Australian government supports piracy.

I have only played SR2 (fairly recently) and I have to say it was one of the most entertaining video games I have played in a while.

You bet. Back at the dawn of the first-person-shooter games, Wolfenstein 3D was the hottest game bootleg in Germany (where it was technically illegal, if not specifically banned).

Hell yeah! The dubstep gun is going to be one of the best custom weapons ever.

You’ll like SR3 then. Less laggy.

It’s not banned. This article is over a month old. Since then the game has been resubmitted and has received a rating of MA15+.

I heard from gamer friend two days ago that it was being worked on so the Aussie government would accept it. I didn’t know the changes had already been completed and accepted. Thanks for letting me know.
