MaxW Posted November 26, 2002 Share Posted November 26, 2002 This is what i posted on my site, "Vice Guy" "Prepare to be ever more pissed! Tuesday, November 26, 2002 Today, i found out something that I was praying would not happen AGAIN! Although, of course, it has. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, has been pushed back once again, for Australians, to the 6th of December. The so called "reason" for it again, is because apparently it was not expected that Australia would pre-order so many copies. There are so many pre-orders, there aren't enough for everyone, let alone more to go on the shelves. I personally, think this is crud, they've had sufficient time to make enough copies, and they should have known it would be a huge success in Australia, because of the Australian and World wide succes of GTA 3. Well, enough of my ramblings. If you have something to say on the matter, go and post at the Forums. Click Here to do so. " What do you all think?

" Personally I don't care because I preordered mine from NZ and got it in the mail 2 days ago. I don't know about anyone else here by I'm a good few years past the 18 year old mark and feel I should be able to play the uncensored version if I want, and there was no way I was going to risk getting a sensored version by waiting for it to be released here in Australia.

poguemahone Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 Australian censors have to realise that the majority of video game players (PS2) are in their late teens or are in fact adults, therefore this warants having a R rating if they dont want impressionalbe youngsters playing the games. Because of this delay many people are getting the game imported and pirated. At least if there was an R rating it i would be able to get a original copy of GTA vice without ordering from NZ. By the way how much did it cost all up from NZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337jman Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 That sucks....but I would really like to hear SOMETHING about the PC version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Australia Posted November 27, 2002 Share Posted November 27, 2002 It seems the game has been delayed even FURTHER. Heres a quote from gameswarehouse.com.au:- "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Pre-Order Price $89.95 RRP $99.95 Release Date: 13 Dec 2002 Rating: MA15+ Category: Action Publisher: Take 2" At this rate we better hope it comes out before Christmas.

Actually the bulk of PS2 owners are in the males 20-35 catagory, quite simple because they are the ones who can afford to buy them. By the way how much did it cost all up from NZ? I haven't seen my credit card statement yet to get an exact figure, but it will be about $110, give or take a couple of dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cice Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I live in SA and I have seen VC in cataloues saying that it is out now, Also on the Official Australian PS2 website, it says that we will be getting the complete uncut version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 I just found out today from my EB about the bad news and us aussies are porbably better off waiting for the PC version because at the rate the Ps2 version is being delayed the pc version would be out sooner or we could just order it from NZ today because it would probably ship here faster than waiting for the aussie version Oh well back to watching Scarface over and over on my PS2, wishing it was Vice City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Dude it's got nothing to do with Rockstar it's the f*cking censors here that didn't approve of the finished product so rockstar had to take their game and edit it, which means that a new batch needs to be made just for us aussies and the demand is more than they expected. And it isn't america's fault either, a lot of people who have it already know what a great game it is and do feel sorry for us that we are missing out.
