The Mortal Kombat (mk9)

[EeLeYe]

Played it on the weekend with a mate who has never played MK before.... good fun for about an hour, but then quite boring.

Almost 20 years on and it is still no where near the game that Street Fighter is.

I'm the same, except the other way around... MK ftw.

been playing the demo with a mate for a while now....waiting for the copy to come from the uk at the moment fingers crossed it rocks up soon

Release for Europe is 22nd I think. A couple more weeks to go...

So.. Anyone know where you can get a copy of this that will work on aus xbox?

[EeLeYe]

According to Wikipedia, Mexico, Central America, South America, Oceania all share region 4. So if you could grab a copy from one of these countries, it should work.

Or grab this one. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-XBOX-360-MORTAL-KOMBAT-9-2011-UNCUT-REGION-FREE-/170630552644?pt=AU_PC_Video_Games_Games&hash=item27ba5f9c44

I'm waiting for mine to arrive. Either the game or a $300 fine should rock up any day now.

Did you just order it? Let me know if you get it.. All the ones on play-asia are either ntsc j or usa.. or ps3.. i'd rather xbox..

why do you say $300 fine.. is that the amount? I thought it was 3 x the price of the game??? If so, get them to mark it as gift with $0 value LOL..

EDIT: Can anyone confirm what the punishment is if they found a copy being brought in?

The punishment is a ~$300 fine for individual copies apparently. Then again, it's illegeal to buy or sell copies, not illegal to have one in your possession. Loophole

Personally, I don't think they're going to crack down on it as much as they have you believe, especially when they have more important things other than digital entertainment to worry about.

Don't happen to have a link anywhere? Can't seem to find shit about it LOL

[EeLeYe]

I'm just going off rumours from various sites.

I know for a fact though, that if you import a large quantity 24+ copies, then it's a $110,000 fine.

there website says 4-12 days or something i thought.. have u ordered from them before mick? r they good?

any1 got this game yet? also wat do you recon is the best way to go about getting it.. some ebay people say they can put it in a different case...

what do you guys recon?

[EeLeYe]

Would have received it by now but unfortunately post office is closed weekends and public holidays...

Should get it this week.

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

Let us know if you do.. I was going to get a friend to bring it in their suitcase coming from overseas but decided not to as its not my place if they can get in shit..

Some websites are saying it's legal to bring the game in, others saying not.. I think the gamespot interview with customs was in regard to commercial import.. But they say it in a way to drive fear into the public.. I don't see the problem in me importing my own personal copy..

hey craig, mayb try these guys on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230613499876

they seem to have the quickest postage i think from what ive sussed on ebay.

Also if your worried about them seeing it and conviscating ur game. for an extra $10 they said they will put the game and book in a different dvd's case.. ive been msging them on ebay.

thats what im thinking of doing.. unless i come up with a better idea in the mean time lol.

i dunno if its worth getting them to change the case though even...

thoughts any1?

Put it in a DVD case and declared as a movie.

Should receive it soon. Post Office shouldn't get public holidays.

only checked for playstation not sure bout any other system. According to my email mines been sent to.

maybe just out of stock?

a friend in customs said that unless its coming from a porn site or your names been flagged for some reason they prob wont even bother with it.

guess we'll have to wait and see
