That might be at your location but here in Los Angeles those are only for used DS and Gameboy game titles.

They have those behind the counter? No wonder they don't sell those damn things. My local GameStops have a display case just for those, but it's in the center of the store to help get rid of them faster...

I was at the mall today, and they took the case out of one of the NLE box, and the rest that they had where behind the counter in a display case. Either way, it is just too easy to take the case out of the NLE and put it up.

All Gamestop has to do is take the gamebox out of the LE box and have that for display. How hard is that?

Why bother, they have a glass case behind the counter that they can place the NLE is, just like they do other collectors editions of games. At my local GameStop they have like 4 different collectors editions on display in there. What's the difference if they add one more?

Yeah that works, even though that was the publishers doing. I have a friend who is the manager of a GameStop. I asked him about this rumor and he said that the stores were told to pull the NLE off of the shelves and keep it behind the counter. There will not be a recall or anything. If GameStop really felt that it was neccessary then they could just have people order the game through their website and stop selling it in their stores, similar to how Wal Mart has done with Mature rated games, such as Demon's Souls (scratching my head on that one too).

Nothing too unsuitable there. Only some cleavage and a bare midriff.

If Gamestop was smart, they would place their price stickers on the plastic, over the parts that they think is "unsuitable" for their customers.

Pretty interesting since, from what I know, the pics shown is as naughty as the game gets, heh. This actually reminds me of those "risque" record albums, VHS tapes and even Atari games that had to be packaged in brown paper bags and placed behind the counters because the content was so "wicked"!

Seems silly, but any publicity is good publicity, right?

GameStop should at least have a sign that says "ask us about naughty edition!" or something, though.

The Gamestop here had it displayed prominently right behind the counter.

There is still a way for people to know this game is for sale. If they simply print out the cover art and put it on a case then put that case on the shelves. Another thing would be take out the case from the LE box and place on the shelves.

Yeah, the guys who are so loose with openly discussing 4chan at the GameStop where I shop at have all of their store's copies hidden behind the counter out of fear of what some of the customers might think of the packaging. Something about that just doesn't make much sense to me. 4chan'ers Who openly discuss boobs afraid of customers seeing ecchi content, hmmm.

One of the employee said I should've pre-ordered it because they're gonna pull the game off the shelf. Then his co-worker said something about the game box being too controversial for consumers to handle. They still have some in stock so I purchased two in case they really are not selling the game. Is this true? Did anyone else hear anything like this? Will the staff at Aksys please tell me this isn't true?

Same thing happened at my local GS. They decided to pull the game off the shelves due to the steamy box art. They're just not displaying the game, that's all. Has nothing to do with being able to sell the game.

I work at Gamestop, have been for far too long haha. I'm not sure why we were requested to take it off the shelves. Our store e-mail that we receive everyday just said to keep it behind the counter, but gave no legitimate reason why. However, we are most definitely selling the game regularly. Just got my copy today. Our store never displays collector's editions of games on the shelves anyway, they don't freaking fit on the shelf right.

That is lame. I ordered mine through Amazon so it won't be here till next week, but I feel bad for you guys who have to feel like perverts just to buy a game. It's not like they are selling Bible Black or tenancle porn.
