Aussies Get to Play Their Foreign Games

I got this through John C. Dvorak's blog (dovorak.org/blog). The Australian High Court has ruled against Sony in the use of mod chips. What this means is that import gaming is possible, since the mod chip makes import games from Japan and the US possible.
This is very important for that region since games there come out not many months, sometimes well more then a year after the US gets it's copy. They also get royally screwed when it comes to cost, being forced to buy games upwards to $90 US. Importing means a much better deal and getting their games much faster.
I hope that this ruling means that they will no longer get the shaft when it comes to videogames.
