	quote A man waiting in a queue to buy the game Grand Theft Auto IV stabbed a passer-by, the Times reports. As many as 100 people witnessed the attack, which took place outside the Gamestation store in Croydon, south London. Many believed it was a publicity stunt to promote the game, which contains much street violence itself. It is believed the victim tried to struggle home and get a knife for a revenge attack but collapsed and was taken to hospital. One of those in the queue, 24-year-old Marcus Henderson, said: "It was a scene straight from the game itself. In Grand Theft Auto, when you attack someone but don't finish them off they'll come and get you." Meanwhile, the game is driving a huge number of people into stores to buy not only GTA IV itself but also the hardware needed to play it. It is expected to boost sales of both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 significantly. O__O ♥ AE ♥ ------------------- Boys will be boys hiding in estrogen and wearing Aubergine dreams.

	I dunno. I wasn't there. But the victim probably did buy it already. ♥ AE ♥ ------------------- Boys will be boys hiding in estrogen and wearing Aubergine dreams.

	Yet they still sell the game? It's really putting a message across to people if you ask me. Incidents keep happening and I think people should really look into it more and do something about it. ------------------- Free Rice Help end poverty. ~~Eat the poor.~~ Play the game and donate rice to the hungry!

If your saying it is the company's fault for making the game or the game's fault itself then your quite wrong. Anyone who actually does something from a game has strong mental issues and needs to be institutionalized immediately. Take the guy that did this for example, he must have some kind of issue in his life. -------------------

	quote Diamondflame Yet they still sell the game? It's really putting a message across to people if you ask me. Incidents keep happening and I think people should really look into it more and do something about it. no matter what anyone does, there will be some idiot doing this to ruin it for everyone else. The guy who stabbed the victim, he was probably jealous because he couldn't get the game and had to take it out on someone who could. Jealously and Greed are 2 of the deadly sins, throw in a little anger and boom. The only thing anyone can do is to take the game of the shelves and ban all violence, all sex, all drugs and everything else that is bad for you...which believe me, in a matter of second of doing so you will have a worldwide riot happening and I doubt the governments are that stupid to let that happen. Hence why cigarettes aren't completely banned and why alcohol is still sold. Completely ban them and oh boy -------------------

	What I'm saying is if things like this keep happening then maybe they should have more security around the area or something surely? An innocent person got injured and they haven't really done much about it. ------------------- Free Rice Help end poverty. ~~Eat the poor.~~ Play the game and donate rice to the hungry!

An innocent person got injured and they haven't really done much about it. In that case yes..but like someone stated before...it is Croydon where it happened, this stuff happens there daily, video game release or not. The guy would have stabbed someone else if the victim wasn't there to begin with -------------------

	And this story is interesting why? People get stabbed all the time, only difference is this as the name of a video game in its headline. And the title is misleading. You say the guy in the queue was stabbed yet in the article it states the passer-by was stabbed by the man in the queue.
