Fallout 3 unbanned in Australia News
PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Australia has decided to unban Fallout 3 and reclassify the game with an MA 15+ title, which happens to be the highest rating in the entire country.
The Office of Film and Literature judged a resubmitted version of the post-apocalyptic role-playing game to be suitable for sale in the region, as the "reward and incentive" for in-game drug abuse had been toned down, according to GameSpot.
However, there is no confirmation of exactly what changes were made.
Using naughty substances plays a large part in Fallout 3, which proved a major sticking point in the original ruling.
"In the Board's view, these realistic visual representation of drugs and their delivery method bring the 'science-fiction' drugs in line with 'real-world' drugs," said the OFLC.
Fallout 3 is yet to be rated in the UK, but is expected on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 sometime this autumn. Online retailers suggest October.

I'm a pomme living in Oz, and its getting ridiculous. The leadership are mainly still old men and women who don't 'get' games, however slowly but surely the tide will turn and Australia will get ratings in line with the rest of the world. i just hope its in my lifetime.
