In the past I recall GTA III was pulled from the shelves after it was discovered you could go down a particular alley and get a HJ from a prostitute. The game was re-released some time later with that content removed (and I recall copies of the game that were purchased before the ban hit, sold on ebay for a premium). Then there was the more recent 'hot coffee' scandal in GTA San Andreas.
GTA IV will be sold in AU as suitable for 15+, which is apparently the maximum for video games in Australia - something that is in the process of being corrected & pulled into line with movies .. so we can have R rated games.
Mind you, I've read the content that's been cut are along the line of someone being buggered with a baseball bat.. so nothing worth missing anyway.
I personally went out at the start of the Easter break to get a new game, saw all the posters for GTA IV in the EB-Games shop and shelled out the $.. I was in such a hurry I didn't notice it wasnt actually out yet and I'd have to wait about 6 weeks to get it so I have it on pre-order.. oh well, I'm a silly sausage. I got Mass Effect at the same time & that kept me entertained over Easter.. top RPG game by the way.
