How annoying, i'll go mad if they ban it in the UK or cut it short.

Kept you waiting, huh?
Sucks doesn't it? I believe I was the one to present this information in Dante's Silent Hill Homecoming thread, it's just another example of Australia trying to jump onto bandwagon issues and going over the top while doing it.
No other country has effectively banned the game as far as I know, Germany delayed their release date, but they didn't ban it, so there we go, Australia once more goes over the top in their censoring issues, that on top of paying that much more for games, eh...In the words of Yahtzee, I suppose you could call it the "Having the nicest beaches tax", but even that doesn't effectively sum up how much it fails.
This is the only thing putting me off of moving to Australia permanently.

this sucks silent hill is the best survival horror game i ever played i dont understand why did they ban it anyways the only thing left for people in australia is to buy a pirated version of the game that might work and would teach them a lesson not to ban games cuz that spreads piracy

It is very likely they banned Silent Hill and not Resident Evil4 because Silent Hill has a more disturbing paranormal theme.

The government want smoking and alcohol to stop, yet they continue to produce the items which have more harm and effect on the youth than a video game which can help people escape from reality which is now.
Why don't they ban violent films, posters and such? Why don't you JUST ban school, since it has both physical and mental impact on a child, possibily leading to suicide and the hurt of others opposed to a game? My street is more dangerous than a bunch of pixels floating on the screen.
Games have given me a better world to be in while playing than anything; i'm not a realist, im a surrealist, I like what isn't real as do many others.
The government makes no money from companies selling games other than gamestores like Gamestation paying for rent, which doesnt sum to much overall. So they don't give a damn and decide to ban which doesn't give much profit.
Just unban the game, and let children/teens experience more than a closed, media shaped world. It makes no difference what way a child learns and harderns a mental state.
