Fallout 3 coming to Australia with edits. Story here: Fallout 3 Coming to Australia With Edits

This in itself doesn't mean much, tho heading in the right direction.

Unfortunately, until this changes:

1UP is waiting for the official confirmation from Bethesda itself. Stay tuned for the final verdict on Fallout 3 in Australia.

it's still technically unknown.

I'd say it's safe to say it's a sure thing - but until you hear from the OFLC and/or Bethesda, it's still not said and done.

As mentioned - grab it from overseas anyway!

Cheaper and unedited

Here's what CTRL+ALT+DEL had to say about it. Heh

Happy to say it's now confirmed.

Internode link.

So yes, it WILL be released in Australia, but it will be a somewhat edited version. No details as of yet what changes have been made - stay tuned.

Official release dates!! Finally!!

Fallout 3 gets final release date; new screenshots get bloody - Big Download Blog

October 28 for the US, and October 31 for Europe. Apparently there is nothing on this planet other than those two regions, so we'll just wait and hold our breath for the rest of the world.

I'll wait for the patch that makes it back to 1.0 instead of 1.1 Aus.

How hard is it to introduce a R rating? And come to think of it why are censors always 50 years behind the public oh wait I remember our governments keep trying to dumb us back to the 50's so we can live in fear and be easier to rule. But i digress. rant rant rant blah blah blah.

It is a result of our superior legal system in which there is no bill of rights (which is the only reason the US market is self-regulated).

No I'm not being sarcastic, constitionally enshrined rights can be very dangerous.

We'll get there eventually with the R18+ thing, it will just take a while alas.
