Oh, Australia. You with your shrimp on the barbie, your Great Barrier Reef and your wonky government run game ratings system. However, the latest game screw-up in your country has nothing to do with your ratings system. However it does show that even digital downloads get things wrong.
Games On Net reports that Australian users of Steam were accidentally given a "low violence" version of Gearbox Software's just released shooter Borderlands for the game's pre-load installation. However the country's ratings board gave the go-ahead for the unedited version of the game to be released. Since the game isn't due to be released internationally for a few more days there's still time to correct the issue before Borderlands unlocks for Australian games. And having started to play the final and full version of Borderlands . . . well, trust us Australia; you really do want all the added violence.
