GTA4 PC Uncut in AU; Or Cut Everywhere?

A post on GameSpot offers reassurance that the upcoming Games for Windows edition of Grand Theft Auto IV will not be censored for release in Australia, a natural concern, considering the number of games with adult content that do not fit Australia's adult-free rating system. The way this story reads, however, makes it sound like questionable content may have been removed from the game for all territories in anticipation of AU problems, much the way Fallout 3 was cut for all territories, though in that case the cuts were made after the game was initially refused classification. It may be the Windows version has received no cuts at all, but the console editions needed edits to earn approval, while word on the PC version is: "Grand Theft Auto IV PC has been rated MA15+ strong violence, sex scenes, coarse language, and drug references by the Australian Classification Office. The PC game is unedited in any way and identical in content to the international version."

Aussie GTA IV console was cut in regards to sex (hookers), violence (a lot less blood) and maybe some slight dubbing changes (language).

Fallout only had it's drugs names changed.

I'll be really pissed if the aussie PC GTA has the censored console stuff back in.
