Rockstar is moving ahead with plans to release Bully: The Scholarship Edition in the UK despite a call for a ban on the game.

According to a Telegraph article, the PC World and Currys chain has decided not to stock the game.

"We don't think this is suitable for sale in our stores," said a company spokesperson. "We are careful about what we sell and this is something we have decided not to list."

now thats a hilarious looking game

already been out on the PS2. If you mention "Rockstar" now, immediate bannings seem to be the order of the day. I wish censorship boards would spend more time on sick films like hostel rather than video games.

The way its going we will be lucky to see GTA4 in the state it was intended, once some old granny sees "Rockstar" on the cover she wets herself.

Funny, I don't mind playing games where you kill millions, but I wouldn't buy this one no matter how good it was. Before you ask, I was not bullied at any point of my life.
I believe it is a very poor taste for a game.

Having said that, they shouldn't ban the game just because they don't like the premise. It's not up to them what each one wants to play on his console/PC.
