Great news!

Almost 30hrs in. It's blew away all my expectations. Never thought I'd play a GTA game that was as impressive & enjoyable as San Andreas, but, this one, it's doing just that.

Most of my friends who play games have been excited about this for quite some time.

There's also constant TV ads; huge posters and stands all over supermarkets at the moment, which I'm sure is all helping.

Congrats to it.

it made $800 million in one day beating black ops 2. IMO GTA V must have sold 12-14 million copies. Awesome number.

It will be interesting to see what the split between the 360 and PS3 will be, seeing that Sony had exclusive advertising as well as bundling The Last Of Us with GTA5 bundles.
