Apparently a UK man, Richard Thornhill, found ecstasy pills inside the cover of a Grand Theft Auto IV Xbox 360 game after he bought it from Gamestation in Cheltenham, England. The man was distraught after letting his 13 year old son play the game. Gamestation originally told the man to flush the drugs down the toilet.
Thornhill said, “I was going to put it away and I felt a lump on the front cover. Inside the instruction booklet was a ball of Shrinkwrap, or Clingfilm. I thought it was just a ball of clingfilm, but then I realized there were tablets inside. I instantly felt sick. They had Mitsubishi signs on them, which I recalled meant they were ecstasy pills. I wasn’t 100% sure though, so I checked online and sure enough I was right – it was ecstasy.”
The original BioShock won game of the year, and became a big hit despite its SecuROM usage. Its ratings from the beginning were sky high by all the major gaming reviewers. BioShock 2 will take place 10 years after the original, and you will play as the first Big Daddy in Rapture.
Let’s hope the game doesn’t come bundled with intrusive DRM like the last time. I never bought the original because of SecuROM, and might consider buying the second if it doesn’t have the DRM.
