The latest version of the top-selling game Grand Theft Auto is expected to break all video game sales records. The game is rated “M” for mature and denounced by some for its graphic violence.

Retailers across the country are holding midnight openings and expecting long lines for the Tuesday release of Grand Theft AutoIV.
The Fresno Best Buy is not one of them, though a list published by the company says stores from Roseville, Calif., to Coon Rapids, Minn., will be opening at midnight.

It’s not clear why Fresno isn’t among them. Best Buy manager Justin Cruz said: “We are just not opening at midnight.”

Did this have anything to do with the 2006 incident in which hundreds of fans waiting for PlayStation 3 rushed the River Park Best Buy store and police threatened to arrest them?

“Nothing to do with that, no,” Cruz said.

To be fair, lots of other Best Buy stores aren’t having special openings either, including stores in Los Angeles.

You can get the game at midnight at these GameStop locations and Game Crazy stores. Wal-Mart Supercenters in Dinuba and Hanford, which are open 24 hours, will start selling the game at midnight. The Sanger Wal-Mart will begin selling them at 6 a.m. Tuesday.
