I heard a lot of people successfully got their copies...good for them lol

theres a guy from the netherlands on ebay offering to send it just as the cd with a diffrent sticker on it, but the fines are up to 110000 so im not sure if i want to risk it.
there really pushing to get the r18+ classification for games in i heard it was going to be through hopefully july so i might wait and see.

MK vs DC any good i might pick it up just to quench my blood thirst for a while

If you want a good fighter, get Super Street Fighter IV.  Don't get MKvsDC, it's not that great.

Serious question, is it that serious of a crime if you import it or "smuggle" it in?

@spyder335: Oh and, silly rabbit, violent video games are for non-Australians :D

Are you a cop? You have to tell me if I ask. "

You have to tell me if you are would have worked better, still, lulz.

Check it.

@KaosAngel:

Here, have some more hilarity.

well if SA allows 18+ games and you can get it legally in SA then surely being a victorian i can get it mailed from there?

I heard you could smuggle them in to the country in the pocket of a kangaroo.

I got my copy yesterday. Reading through numerous Australian gaming forums I haven't yet seen anyone have their copy seized. I've even seen a youtube video of a guy in WA, show himself opening his Fedex package, it was clearly labelled with 'Mortal Kombat' on the outside. Hell, I've even seen photo proof of Aussies successfully getting the Kollectors Edition through customs. You'd have to be pretty unlucky to get caught, I haven't heard of many people getting caught importing banned games or uncut versions (ie. GTA4 & L4D2.) Customs have more important things to keep an eye on than a video game.

Got my copy this afternoon, friends who preordered through various import locales have also received theirs within the past couple of days.

Although, online is a slight issue. The online pass is unable to be redeemed on an Australian account, but it appears redeeming it on a US account on the same console will suffice, as like XBLA games, it works for all users on the console it was first downloaded on. That said, with the hour I spent with this game this afternoon, I could get into lobbies but couldn't get a game to work. First, servers appeared to be down, then games would drop on the character select screen or shortly after.

Doubt it's an issue with Australian access, but not 100% on it.

Firstly, the customs officer fails to mention that a sizeable fine like that only applies to people importing twenty-five copies or more for the purpose of commercial distribution."

-Not a single blu-ray disk, 25 or more result in the fine. Because if you are importing 25 copies of Mortal Kombat, you are obviously planning to resell them in Australia. I'm not trying to defend the Australian Classification Board's decision to ban the game at all, just since that gamespot story everyone thinks that if you get caught trying to import a single copy of Mortal Kombat you will get fined $110,000. This is wrong, if it is your first offense you would receive a warning from customs.

I hid a copy in my rectum.

I feel for my Australian gamers.

i got my copy a couple of days ago(the Kollector's edition), I haven't been able to go online with it yet(stupid PSN)

but I just bought mine through Amazon and told em to send it as a gift(that way they can just put "Video Game" on the package slip) as a precaution, but I probably didn't need to go that far.

Ive seen multiple people receive theirs, not the first banned game ive imported

Got mine today from a friend who just came back from Singapore. It is a NTSC-J version and like others have said works fine except online with the online pass code included in the box not working. Will try the us account thing and see how it goes.

Apologies it is actually a normal US NTSC. I created a US account and downloaded the pass and it works fine. Played a match with no issues other than the expected lag when versusing US players.

I'm thinking of ordering mine from an online store - but how's the online work for the PS3 version (... when PSN is up again?). If I get the US version, I'll need a US PSN account wouldn't I? What if I just order a UK version? Aren't our PSN's the same so I won't need a new account?
