How much does it cost to sell one's soul?
GTA San Andreas is on sale at Walmart retail locations with the M rating for $49.92
And they said they'd never sell an M rated game. Apparantly they meant they'd never sell an M rated game...unless people wanted to buy it. |

And as you said, aslong as people want to buy it, shops will stock anything. regardless of what theyve said in the past, are you really telling me if you had a major chain of superstores and you said that then gta came along with a M rating you wouldnt mind missing out on all the revenue t brings in?
of course we dont have thsat problem here, 90% of games with violence/sex/drugs in get submitted to the BBFC and get a legal rating, even though theres only 2% of games this year that have recieved an 18+ |

Wal Mart is nothin but a money grabbin' machine. And they're a bunch of poons for selling "Radio Edited" music and letting M games like GTA being sold in their stores. Stick to your F'n morals you money whores. |

Well, it's okay to sell games that have violence, crime, and gunplay as primary modes (I've seen plenty of those kinds of games in Wal-Mart), just so long as they have no sexOMGWTFBBQ!
Since this is probably the Hot-Coffee disabled disc, then they're fine with it, now. |

It will be the hot coffee disabled disc, as far as im aware Rockstar are retrirving all unsold stock of the original release, although that wont stop the second hand sales. |
