Grand Theft Auto Online

The world of online video game play will be permanently changed today around noon. "Grand Theft Auto V" is releasing it's online version of the game today. "Rockstar," the game developer which made the GTA franchise arguably the most popular video game series of all time, is worried about their servers crashing because of overpopulation. The game itself was released 2 weeks ago and sold around 25 million copies, crushing previous records. They expect at least 3 million people to rush online when it is released at noon today, which will push their server capacity and ability to the maximum. Many video games have had this same problem before when millions attempt to all log on at the same time. I know I will be loading it up tonight and trying to play, hopefully it will work....
