Rumor: Target may stop selling Manhunt 2 in stores

Calling this just a "rumor" is sort of complicating things -- this is complete hearsay and by that we mean unconfirmed prattle. Apparently, a member of the Evil Avatar forums got hold of a memo being passed around Target stores claiming that Manhunt 2 will not be sold in their stores or online. At any branch.

This is getting the push because of the bad press the game has received the last couple of days, member Dr. Finger advocates. Who knows, perhaps its the violence that can be unlocked as well. Either way, this is a complete rumor until a lot of people actually start looking for games in Target. A few sold out stores here or there aren't proof positive. Not yet.

I think it is ridiculous. The game is violent and appropriately rated M. The *real* answer is to make AO mean something and still be saleable to adults in stores. This is cowardly. And I speak as a parent - let me protect my kids myself!

Our Target was never selling it in the first place. We are so slow at putting up new releases it's ridiculous. I still remember when FF:Tactics was released and I coming in to work every day excited that I was going to get it, but only to leave dissapointed. They didn't put it up until about a week after it's release date. And that's just one example, I have plenty of others...
