IGN reports by way of IGN Germany that Bethesda has successfully appealed the ruling by the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Minors (BPjM) restricting the sale of Fallout 3 in Germany, noting that such applications are rarely granted. "In the case of Fallout 3 the request for de-listing was granted even though only seven years passed since the game was banned," the BPjM said in a statement. "The Big Council decided at its meeting on February, 4th that Fallout 3 will be removed from the list because its content is no longer classified as harmful to minors from today's perspective." They say that there may be an ulterior motive for this, speculating that an announcement of an HD remake of the RPG for consoles may be coming. Thanks MCV.
