Preorder bonus a baseball bat "The only weapon that decapitates zombies"
Look at the end of that link .com.au
Decapitation? But this is Australia! None of us are over 18 and we can't handle flying limbs in video games! You know, the thing that only under 18's play.

And ebgames is trustworthy in the sense its a fucking giant chain store and is powered by gamestop *hence the shit trade ins*

So do you think the game really comes with a baseball bat code or are they just adding insult to injury?

Edit: Why the fuck is it $110 dollars, the aussie dollar is worth 0.91 USD, that should of certainly done something.... Then again I know nothing about economics so don't yell at me.

No, I think that'd be the description from Valve or whatever, the universal pre-order message. I may be wrong though, although perhaps the uncensored version got through *fingers crossed*.

Our games are always overpriced, I remember hearing people complain about Modern Warfare 2 being like... $60 or $70USD, but that's still FAR cheaper than what we have to pay for games.

EDIT: the guy underneath me who posted at exactly the same time just won

They don't really mean decapitated. They mean de-head. It's more a comedy thing. They're polite British zombies.

I find the funny thing to be the fact that decapitation is removed in the "appropriate" Aussie version of L4D2 yet was very much present in the first L4D with no problems from the ACB whatsoever.

I guess the ratings system actually...no fuck it, there's no way to explain something as stupid as this.

lol... $110? fuck I hate EB, they're the biggest ripoff merchants. I don't even go to EB anymore. Game and Gamestraders are ten times better.
In any case, just preorder it off steam. it's the same deal and with the current us dollar being low at the moment $44 on steam equates to about $50 here. same deal the only difference is no physical disc plus cheaper price. Does it really matter?

I've said it before, I'll say it again: The OFLC rating system is too inconsistent to be any use. I mean, in Fallout 3, you could decapitate your enemies, then put their head on a shelf. And the problem that the OFLC had with it was due to the drug references

Then of course, there were decapitations and shotgun/automatic weapon related loss of limbs in the first Left 4 Dead.

Should I even bother to mention Fallout 3 and dead Space? Or have we been through this FUBAR retarded broken record enough before?

oh, you plan to buy it on 360? well, yeah, EB will rape you. I'd try Game first. They seem to still remember what gaming is actually about.

I'm not certain, but I was talking about game prices in general. I mean, you could probably get the game cheaper elsewhere (I'd say JB HI-FI, although they're nowhere near as cheap as they used to be).

Don't forget to mention F.E.A.R 2 either, which actually got refused, then unrefused almost immeidately after, with no editing. I hate our rating system.

You're buying a game that's predicited to be very popular from the most expensive store in Australia, what do you expect?

Your want it cheaper? [http://www.game.com.au/search?search=l4d2]

Game usually don't have very good bonuses, seriously a fucking hat if you preorder boderlands, afraid you don't get beat up at school enough? Then get that hat.
Also, i'm not old enough for a debit card so the online price is basically nonexistent for me.

EB Games.com [http://www.ebgames.com/]

No shit.

EDIT: EB Games is owned by (or should I say "powered by") Gamestop which is American.

Buying from EB for the bonuses? It like buying a game just so you can jack up you're gamerscore.

I got ODST from JB HiFi, and Sergant Johnson enough to make me question myself and ask "Why not buy it from EB and get them to match JB's price?". Still, bonuses entice you to buy from EB and pay extra for a crappy novelty. I got Red Faction: Guerrilla from JB for $80 including a RF:G Handbook. That was good value.

Getting my parents to use their credit cards to buy stuff off the internet (games especially) is like squeezing water from a rock. If I can do it, then so can you.

I'm assuming since the UK and Australia both use PAL, one could order L4D2 from the UK (the UK has a much more fair censorship board) and play it on their console?

SNIP

L4D2 has been classified in Australia. [http://www.classification.gov.au/www/cob/find.nsf/5b6ebdff7f5b9a24ca2575ca00062226/981b9f23b74dbc0aca2576480057fedc!OpenDocument]

Someone here at The Escapist [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.148071] has also confirmed this.

Oh... I'd forgotten about that... I swear it's like the OFLC have a dartboard that they have specific ideas posted on and they just randomly hit "Ban Left4Dead2" "Approve DLC for Left4Dead", "allow gorey dismemberment in fallout 3", "clamp down on fallout 3 for having "morphine" portrayed in a positive light in-game". You get my point.
