Target Strangles Manhunt 2


Looks like Target has stopped selling Manhunt 2. Wow not selling games based on content, next you'll be editing swears out of movies, then selling bibles at the checkout line. Good job Wal-Mar....I mean Target.

"Target strives to provide merchandise that will appeal to a wide variety of guests. We also want guests to be comfortable with the purchasing decisions they make at Target. All video games and computer software sold at Target currently carry ratings by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)--from early childhood through mature audiences. While Manhunt 2 was given a Mature rating by the ERSB, we received additional information that players can potentially view previously filtered content by altering the game code. As a result, we have decided not to carry the game."

Whatever, target is dumb.

But I guess you can't buy porn at target. If best buy follows suit though. I think we should write them angry letters.

I know you have practice writing angry letter from people of all walks of life. It'll be a fun little project:-)
