    I spotted GTAIV on RTE News a few minutes ago but by the time I turned the tv up it was nearly over. All I heard was them saying it was released a few months ago and was one of the fastest selling games ever. Did anyone catch the full thing cos I'm not sure why exactly it was on the news in the first place!

    Some lad in Thailand robbed aTaxi and killed the Taxi-Driver and then he done it because he wanted to see if it was as easy to do in real life as it was in GTA so they pulled all the copies off the shelves in Thailand

    Apparently he didn't play GTA at all? Huh?

    I read a fairly detailed report on the crime and it's ****in brutal.

    He seemed to have bit of a messed up family life but there's no way to hide the fact that the murder and his obsession with the game are no way related.

    Yep, an obsessive player who bought 2 knives instead of buying the game. :rolleyes:
