Yes they do, Australia's is included in Region B for blurays. I can understand the confusion though, as for blurays we and the UK/Europe are Region B but for DVD's we're Region 4 and they're Region 2.

Yeah I'm pretty new to blu-rays so it's a tad confusing. Thanks for clearing it up for me though. Time to import  .

I agree to the point of having multiplatform game topics in general, makes sense.

I think it's fine the way it is, most multi-platform games are always in general gaming anyway, it's only on the rare occasion these days that PC games get released before the consoles, so Witcher 2 isn't a good example, and will be discussed alot more, it's still a few months from release at least.
Doesn't Theory move the topics to general gaming once they actually go multiplatform anyway?

^ Only when it trolls PC gamers who originally bragged about it being a PC exclusive.

Maybe combine Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo/General into Console forum that includes their handhelds and then merge the PC Gaming into PC/Smartphone topic?
This will kind of solve a bit of multi-platform issues for games (when games turned multi-platform) and that way you can have games that supports the Linux and the Mac OSes in PC/Smartphone? Also, a lot of titles these days are mutli-platform, which makes the General topic quite busy in comparison to the Sony/Microsoft/PC forums. |
I'd do this, but combine all gaming into one single forum.

Yep, definitely a better idea (see, I can't think alone!  )

PM an admin they can help you out, I think you may also need to do the whole name-changey spoon paying thing, but they could have scrapped that.
oh, and just in case you're not sure who:
Luke Mitchell
Adam
James Varoutsos
Kimberley Ellis
sonicwired
...
I can't for the life of me remember any of the other admins.

Has anyone else tried to register Zelda: OoT 3DS at Club Ninty and been rejected? I'm hoping it's just because it's not officially released yet. Btw, it's an Oz copy so that isn't the issue.

Yeah, you need to wait until it is officially released.

I'm not part of the master race, but i'd say that's probably overkill.

It'd be best to pick up an old Core2 or Athlon X2 system from OCAU then. Even that is overkill for basic old people stuff.
EDIT: Also worth noting, that computer is majorly overpriced!

Make sure your external has been formatted to FAT32.
720p videos, MP4.
