Wal-mart stops Bully pre-sales under pressure because of policy change

John Simley from Walmart media relations contacted Joystiq to clear up the ciircumstances behind the Bully pre-order situation. Simley said that Wal-mart policy is to not carry any unrated or Rating Pending games for pre-order or sale, in-store or online. This decision was made recently, Simley said, but just reflected on the web site starting this week, hence the pulling of Bully pre-orders.

Nice policy change. Don't want to pre-sell a 'Rating Pending' GTA or Bully to a nine-year-old. Not at all related to the Jack Thompson lawsuit, right?
