A 23-year-old was repeatedly stabbed in Croydon, south London as he walked past 100 people queuing to buy the controversial game, in which players rob and murder their way through the criminal underworld.

A hooded man with a knife - who is thought to have known the victim - jumped out of the line outside Gamestation and stabbed him several times before running away.
Meanwhile in Manchester two young men broke a teenager’s jaw and nose as they snatched the game from his hands.
The 18-year-old and his friend were followed from a store and attacked 30 minutes after buying the £40 video game, which was released at midnight.
The computer game, classified an 18, was launched worldwide and is expected to become the biggest-selling entertainment title of all time.

It is anticipated it will sell six million copies within the first week of its release, breaking the previous record set by another video game, Halo 3.
However, there are concerns that the game, which follows an Eastern European criminal as he comes to the United States and turns to a life of crime, will fall into the hands of younger children.
Although staff at Britain’s largest retailers have been told to request ID from anyone looking underage, parenting groups fear some children will still be able to buy a copy.
The victim in Croydon has been released from hospital after treatment and is said to be comfortable. The Metropolitan police said that they would study CCTV of the incident.
Although witnessed by dozens of people few have come forward. Detective Inspector Liz Baker, of Croydon CID, said: “I urge them to make contact with police as they may hold vital information to help us track down the suspect.
“He is described as a light skinned black man aged about 21 years old, 6ft 5ins tall, of medium build wearing a light grey hooded top with his hood up.”
Police are hunting two white men aged between 18 and 20 over the robbery in Leyland, Manchester.
The release on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles comes only weeks after Tanya Byron, the television psychologist, recommended that video games carry cinema-style classifications to stop children accessing graphic images.
The British Board of Film Classification advises consumers that violence is “a central theme” of the game, with the character taking on several missions which involve “killing in return for money and other in-game rewards”.
“The character can gain use of a variety of weapons including machine guns, Molotov cocktails, a serrated knife and a rocket propelled grenade launcher,” it says.
“Injuries and death are shown with blood including blood projected onto nearby walls, windscreens and the camera lens.”
