It was meant to come with the game. Just put on the electro station in GTA IV, throw those pills in your mouth and rave on.

If this were in the US maybe. While it's not beyond the relms of belief, it seems unlikely. We have far less of a suing culture over here (although it is getting bigger unfortunatelly). Of course you always get the odd idiot who does something like that.

If any of you actually believe that the drugs were in the game box, then I'm very disappointed in you. The guy obviously got caught with the tablets by his wife, then had to come up with a story on the spot. Got blown out of proportion by his wife phoning a newspaper and him having to continue telling his stupid story to them and the police.

When you buy a used game from Gamestation, they take the disc and instruction manual out of a drawer and put them in the box you pass to them off the shelf. There's no way that stuff would still be in there from a traded in game. If it were able to just 'fall out' of the box it would've done so a long time before the guy got the game home.

All the more reason retailers need to dump the PS2 and the Gamecube.

Poor people tend to keep these older systems far longer than they should and you end up in situations like this.

This wasn't an accident. This is Gamestop's way of getting into the drug trade.

I don't find this hard to believe. I bought "The Getaway" for ps2 from Gamestop (is Gamestation the UK version?) and in the manual was a pornographic dvd. Pretty crappy if I remember correctly but still I don't think they always do the best checking on their games or their manuals if I can find something like that.

I love the fact it happened in Cheltenham (where i live).
Attempting to get pills is a nightmare normally, lucky bastard.

Personally, I'm calling fake on this though.

What concerns me is that the media is completely ignoring the fact that an 18-rated game was bought for a 12-year old, and the dad thinks he's in the right. As the law states, it's an offence to *supply* an 18-rated product to someone under that age. See the Video Recordings Act 1984, section 11.1.

Now who's betting the father doesn't get fined or prosecuted? :/
