GTA will cause you to kill people.

i love how they say $145 worth of merchandise to make it sound like alot, when thats actually just 3 games.

lol just like in the game ea? i guess he also played football with the aresting officer because he stole nfl 07 also! :P

its always fun seeing a dumbass in the back of a police car yelling Fuck you thinking hes a badass? what dumb people do for a game? its a great way to pass the time.

Great. The lefties and overprotective mothers are going to have a field day with this. I need my violent video games. Without Halo 3, I'd probably strangle everyone in sight.

He should have taken a hostage. Then gotten the ransom.

My dad won't let me get GTA IV even though i saved up for it with MY money >:(

I'm glad my Xbox is broken....and my hate for PS3 remains

I wonder if he was a Newgrounds member...

It's funny how GTA itself manages to separate the responsible players from the assholes who can't handle it's influence, causing them to do stupid and somewhat harmless yet serious petty crimes and stopping them from doing worse ones.

What's more funny is the obvious fanboys on the BBS defending the shitty game like it's their fucking baby.

OMFG LOOK THE NEWZ IS HINTING BAD THINGS AT A GAME I LIKE TIME TO GO INTO RAGE MODE LOLLOL

I get a hard-on from hearing old news.

Proof that you are what you play...
Just like how I'm Pikachu!

If my parents don't get me that game soon I'm going to spike my pubes and light them on fire.

Don't taze me bro!

Also, NEED FOR THE GAME!

That was stupid. He grabbed $165 worth of games. Any chance he just grabbed a handful and took off? He could have easily had 5 or 6 games and not known what all he had.

Oh ho ho, you have no idea...

wow, you people are getting way too worked up over this.

they gave another side and wearen't that aggressive, but you people are still going insane.

Isn't it more likely that it's simply that people who are more prone to crime are attracted to that sort of game, rather than the game making them more prone to crime?

Besides, it even said "among other titles".

I'm surprised that they never came out and said "the game made him do it",but you could tell that they were hinting at it like "unlike the character in the game" or "just like the character in the game"

That logic makes no sense.One copy of GTA IV gets stolen and there are people out there who would want the game banned saying it obviously causes crime. Banks have been robbed for centuries...should we ban banks? How about just ban all money?

A game that causes this much controversy MUST be good! I'm getting it when it comes out for PC!

'I gon' taze you, bro!'

'Don't taze me, bro!'

He stole more than one game. They are just targeting the game.

Surley the reason he stole the game is because he wanted to play it, I doubt he stole the game because he already had the game and it influenced him to steal a second copy...

There's alot of "coulds" and "maybes" in that news story.
Also, notice he didn't only just grab GTA4? They're just focusing on that.

Was noticing that myself. It was sort of justified, as it was the release date of the game. On the other hand, you can't fucking blame GTA IV for someone stealing GTA IV, that's just not logical.

Maybe it isn't GTA's fault, but video gamers are so bad at defending their own games "like zomg, its not da vidya game, its like... da mediaz for sho!"

It isn't the media? Since when was that not a valid argument?

"Ok ya got me, now let me out for a bribe and give my my pepperspray back"
