Circuit City never pulled it.
Although EB Games "pennied" it out- which I was told they remove the game from the sales floor, and change the price to a penny- just so they can keep track of them in their inventory, they weren't selling them for a penny- and then the district manager destroyed the discs when he was at each store.
I went into a brand new EB Games a couple years ago, and they had a copy on the shelf marked at $49.99. I asked the clerk to scan it and it came up a penny. I bought both copies and the game guide.
Just after I bought them, the manager came out of the back room and the employee told him "OMG we have games for a penny!" and when the manager found out which one, he said "we're not supposed to be selling those, they're supposed to be in the back".
What had happened was the entire store's stock was in storage for several months because the plaza the EB Games moved into opened later than planned due to zoneing issues or something.
