But since I can get from overseas and the average Australian gamer is actually over 30, I think trying to ban it is actually doing worse than banning it in the first place.

Get your games from over here (NZ) then, we dont have the same game rating policies (although the ratings are higher than places such as US, but that doesn't matter if you are purchasing online.)
We are on PAL, and you will probably pick up games at a decent price, and not have to fork out to much for postage.

Probably hard to find a decent store online though, If you dont mind second hand goods, im sure you could go to TradeMe. There are Australian sellers on there, so im sure if you bought something the seller would be happy to send it to Aussie as long as you payed the additional postage.

@Tullzinski - I thought Legend Of The Seeker was rubbish, but then i generally hate that whole mystical medievel genre. Apart from Lord Of The Rings, that was good.
