Should I be concerned?

    Wasn't quite sure where to post this.

    I'm emigrating to Australia on Sunday and have a 500GB media drive full of movies and MP3's that I want to bring with me. Should I be concerned bringing this through customs?

    Will also have a backup copy of some of my Xbox 360 games. Again should I be concerned bringing these through customs?

    I highly doubt they'll be bothered, make sure to put it in your hand luggage though as good chance of it being damaged otherwise,

    it, would be a good idea to delete any 18+ movies on the drive ,first as every country has different rating standards.in the usa people can be arrested for copying 2,or 3 films in theory .if you,ve legally purchased all the cdsor mp3 tracks,it should be ok.

    Eh i really doubt there going to plug your hard drive into a pc to see whats on it!? Maybe good advice about 18+ movies and pics, if you go to some asian countries you can get in serious trouble for that kind of stuff. I,ve brought my external every where i've went in the last few years and never had an issue, or even considered it being one!

    If your REALLY paranoid about it, bring hard drive in your carry on and give the power cable (which you forgot , wink wink) to a friend of yours to put in their suit case(presuming your not traveling alone)
