Anyone who has studied The Matrix appropriately, should know about the book Simulacra and Simulation. Written by Jean Baudrillard (RIP) it's basic premise is that all our perceptions of reality are really perceptions of simulations, or bad copies of the original. Nothing is a better exampe of this situation than videogames.
Moreover, Grand Theft Auto specifically. Here is a game where the main character can goto an arcade and play videogames himself. So you are playing a videogame about a guy playing a videogame. More at Edraid.com
