Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA 4) Message Board  

Edited version for Australia and New Zealand
Despite confirmation in February 2008 that the Australian version of Grand Theft Auto IV would not be edited in any way, Rockstar has now told The Sydney Morning Herald journalist Jason Hill that the Australian version will be edited.

Grand Theft Auto IV was awarded an MA15+ rating on 11 December 2007. In a post on his blog, Jason Hill stated that a Rockstar spokesperson confirmed to The Sydney Morning Herald's video game section, Screenplay, that the company had produced a special version of Grand Theft Auto IV to comply with the Australian classification system. The spokesperson would not comment on what has been cut from the game.

It was announced on 15 April 2008, and subsequently reported across the Internet, that the New Zealand release will be the edited Australian version.

Wow, that's just wrong, I might not live there but that's just not fair. DAMN YOU JACK THOMPSON!!! MAY YOU BURN IN HELL!!!
