Pre-ordered at my local Tesco - no way I'm going to leave it in the hands of Postman Pat judging on his performance with my LoveFilm deliveries.

Only slight fly in the ointment, I'm getting married in April - if I sneak my PS3 on the Honeymoon I'll be divorced before I get home. winkbiggrin
It will be before April, they need it this financial year to hit their targets.

AFAIK Take Two, who are publishing it and who made a massive loss this year might dearly like it to be before their year-ending 31st March, but they've recently issued a greatly reduced profit prediction more in-line with a sack of pre-order money instead of a truck load of sales money.

I did notice in the first trailer, a little detail. On the curb stone in front of the house with the "For sale" board outside, there was a number "2405" could this mean something, such as...the 24th of April?

Who knows.

That originally sparked rumours it would be May this year, but to no avail.

I cannot wait for this to be released, but I'd take any scheduled date by Rockstar with a pinch of salt...

Exactly what I meant, just the opposite of what I typed. And don't call me Shirley wink

Some US mag has the exclusive, details on the story, unique new features, tonnes of pics and they've played a Beta (Apprently). It's behind a pay wall, but will no doubt be everywhere about 5 mins later.

It was meant to come after the trailer.

On a side note, if you never knew, then you do now. the original GTA1 and GTA2 are free to download off R*. Decided to download them today for abit of nostalgia.

NOTE:For some reason, filling in the age/email section and clicking submit didn't work for me on Firefox, but was fine on chrome. so try another browser if it doesn't work.

Looks like some of the early guesses about multiple protagonists are right, three main characters:

I'm thinking 3 as in Nico, Louis and the biker - 3 interlinked stories played separately -maybe all at once? If that's not an oxymoron,
