There are potential idiots roaming the streets, that need this slight motivation.

But it would've happened in time anyway.

True. Thinking far, far ahead.
My friend said there will be no GTA V.
He said its because of these stabbings. I think he's a liar.

Anyone who stabs someone over a game needs their heads checking. it's madness.

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpot

Midnight launches aren't always the gaming industry's proudest moments. The PlayStation 3 release in particular was riddled with launch-related crimes, including a mugging, a store robbery, a launch line hold-up, and a shooting.

Grand Theft Auto IV went on sale in stores around the world at 12:01 a.m. this morning, and already reports of criminal midnight launch madness are starting to filter in. BBC News is reporting on a pair of incidents, with news of a stabbing outside a Gamestation in Croydon and a mugging by another game store in Lancashire.

According to the news service, a 23-year-old man was attacked by a knife-wielding assailant as he passed a line outside the Gamestation. The victim was treated for several stab wounds and has since been released. The attacker, who police said appeared to be waiting in the line of about 50 to 100 people, was not apprehended.

In the mugging, an 18-year-old was robbed of his copy of the game and beaten as he walked home from the store with a friend. The victim was taken to the hospital with a broken jaw and a broken nose.

Police are asking for witnesses in both cases to step forward.
no wonder there was armed cops around when i whent to get the game

It was banned in Australia, for a while, but I think they're allowe it now, due to Rockstar releasing an edited version, with less graphic scenes...
The year after GTA: SA came out, the games were banned for about a month, but the government or whatever soon caved, and we've heard nothing about it since.

This is exactly why I wait until the next day to get major games. No major problems, just protect the game!

The kid was stabbed in the UK, so was the lad who got his copy stolen off him by a pair of chavs.

I played them all. Starting at like 9. :O I didn't turn out to be a messed up child now did I. *Youkou shut up* These games really do get to much bad credit. I admit it is crazy what people do from them though. 0-0 Thing is, it's what THE PEOPLE do, not the game.

If you're stupid enough to let a game influence you then you really shouldn't be allowed to play games....
