"Investigation: The attack happened in Princes Avenue,
Colindale, at around 1.20am today following
the release of the game at midnight"




I bought Mine this morning
no need to rush.
It's a sorry state that he was stabbed.

That is it... ban GTA now..

In all seriousness this is really an unfortunate and sad story :sad:

What an absolute low life scumbag

No way.



He is stable.




You need to watch out at night time
thats the problem.
Buy it daytime.

Seriously it's just a game

yes value of £39
so low life criminals can pick a single walker
at 1AM


He was 23
were the attackers under age of buying it?

Then frenzy for it - is silly.
even Small Tesco's were selling them .

-wants to know if that guy is disabled, if he isn't that needs to be a new emoticon-

Might be


Its just a photo to show the Frenzy

You always get stories like this with big midnight launches. Never go to these things alone and make sure you've got your transport sorted.

There'll be more of these stories when the Xbox one and PS4 comes out sadly.

Yes
thats the only way.


As for the nex Xbox1 and PS4
No need to get it at midnight.
In my view

..wow, a game that cost £35...I can't imagine that happening over something else that cost that amount, that's quite staggering to hurt someone just to play a game...poor guy...

No in stores it 39.97


Online its 35.


Thats the Status on GTA5
sadly

That's just incredibly moronic.

This.

What a scumbag whoever done it to do that to another person. I hope that the victim is OK..

Life imitating art...or a video game

He probably went on to beat up a prostitute and carjack someone

Didn't the same thing happen when Harry Potter was getting midnight releases?

I knew those Harry Potter fans were mental....

It's a misleading report everywhere I've seen the headline, as he also had a watch and an expensive smartphone stolen. Phones are a common target these days... Muggers know that more than half of the time a target will have some device of value on them: a phone, a tablet, a laptop etc.

I very much doubt someone targetted him for the game specifically.

That said, it's true that it might have been an opportunistic mugger who knew there would be easy young targets out late at night to buy the game...

There is also a hint of irony about the act itself. Mini side mission for GTA6? Some crime bosses son really wants a game that's sold out at the midnight release...

Sure maybe Smartphone,
and bonus GTA game.



Easy Target that night - yes

This is what I thought, ironic isn't it?
