"This week, Jim Sterling steps between two warring bands of hornets to provide a chilled out and rational summary of Target and Kmart's "GTA BAN" stuff. Naturally, this appeal for calm will only make things worse."

Given how much money Australians have to pay for games, which is absolutely absurd, every effort to further keep them out of Australian hands is just shitty. That said, sounds like people totally overreacted.

I think the ban has more to do with the waging war we had with them.
And don't tell me that it didn't happen!
Have you read a history book lately son? The Australian-American war the was the biggest war since the big one! I tell ya, I didn't do two tours and take boomerang shrapnel in my head to come back here and have a bunch of hippies deny our history! Those Aussies are ruthless! They even wired kangaroos with explosives... come hopping in the camp and knock out ten guys!

Meanwhile, one of our countries most popular/famous films is about a crazy serial killer who brutally murders, tortures and rapes women...
I buy my games at either JB Hi-Fi, EB Games or Big W. Kmart and Target always have a terrible selection but this whole thing is plain ridiculous.

Does Kmart in Australia even still sell games because last time I was in Sidney a couple of years ago I went to a Kmart and they had pretty much nothing game related. Which is pretty much the case over here they pretty much they gave up selling games etc years ago. Though a similar thing happened last week as the Warehouse (New Zealand's largest retail store chain) announced that they would stop selling games or movies rated R18 which at least meant I could get a Xbox one version of GTA 5 for a cheep birthday present for my brother. |
