    I picked up a copy of Geist for the GCN off eBay during the week and it arrived today. Just checking it, I noticed a big fat "Not for supply in Ireland" written on the back. Never noticed this on any other games, and was wondering why this one, and why Ireland specifically. It's PAL and apparently was 'assembled' in Germany.

    Ratings maybe?
    I know there are a few games which have Irish specific versions - GTA: San Andreas springs to mind, and that's because we don't fall under BBFC censorship.
    Although I suspect theres a more accurate reason than that

    Same with Resident Evil 4, the German version had significant things missing; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil_4#Alternative_versions
