Time to make games that glorify blades...I have no problems with this. Would probably be way more over the top on the gore factor anyway.
PS: Anything could be an enabler or trigger for violence, just as anything can be addictive if used in excess.
Also, I read the other day on news.com.au that the massacre that occurred was actually performed as revenge for the bullying that the kid endured, and that the enabler was the parent who provided said weapons and an environment for him to practice using said weapons. Politicians always going for the votes and making stuff up to make their campaigns look better.
If you love playing Battlefield 3, this is really a no-brainer. It is basically like pre-ordering an expansion pack, with each part being released every couple of months to keep things fresh. A good deal IMO, and much better than a subscription service.
Just so you know, we can pay anywhere between $80AUD and $120AUD for video games here in Australia. So there is a big difference in the prices considering our dollar is on par with the USD
