Rockstar's controversial Bully video game will not be stocked in Currys or PC World.

Will you be playing it regardless?

My 15 year old lad asked for this at the weekend, asked him to explain what the game is about because I hadn't heard about it, and told him in words he wouldn't not understand. NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its like vice city but set in a high school but without the sex stuff....

Generally its all about a little boy who stands up against the bullys in a high to get back at them.... a fun tale for all to enjoy...

I know. When will people learn that sometimes its better to let these things go without making a big deal out of them and attracting a media hype situation that makes people actually want to see what the big deal is??

They were never ever ever going to get this game banned as its already going to have a 18 rating so what more can they do??

You can see far more violence on sky tv every night of the week than is available in this or any other game so i dont see what the big deal is.... computer games stopped being for kids about 10 years ago..... get with the times people!

A delightful bit of PR for Rockstar!

Although any shop that happily stocks GTA/Manhunt/Godfather/Scarface et al, and then says this is to save their "family-friendly image" heads way down in my estimation.

Cant wait to try this out personally. I'm a big Rockstar fan (even if I didnt particularly enjoy San Andreas) and the subject does indeed intrigue me.

Don't! My 3 year old son loves playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the 360 but keeps begging me to teach him how to play Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter....

Stick to PGR3, little one.....
