Rumorong: Target not pulling Mass Effect

Last night we got a handful of tips concerning a rumor (that originated from this Playfuls post) claiming that super-retailer Target was removing Mass Effect from its shelves following last month's ridiculous Fox News situation. After making some calls to local Targets, none of which had a problem ringing the game up on their registers, we followed up with Target Corporate Communications.

A Target spokesperson got back to us this afternoon after double checking with all the right folks and told us unequivocally, "This is just a rumor. There are no plans to remove this game, it's available at Target stores and Target.com." We just wanted to nip this one in the bud before it spread too far and, having just done that, we now return you to your regularly scheduled Joystiq posts.
