Grand Theft Auto Online Servers Struggle Under Strain
It had seemed that the Grand Theft Auto Online launch would be relatively struggle-free, but that’s turned out not to be entirely true. Fans are stuck at the launching screen and are taking to Twitter to complain.
In all fairness, there are very few online launches that manage to go off without a hitch, although Rockstar had been confident that they’d be able to deal with demand.
On the other side of the console war, there are people concerned that the 360 got the patch before PS3 players. Rockstar tweeted from the official GTA account that the timing of the patch was entirely down to Microsoft and Sony, so it doesn’t seem there’s any mystery to be found here. Still, some are angry that they can’t… well… sit watching the launching screen.
If you’d planned on playing Grand Theft Auto Online over the next few days, it might be worth adding a little extra time while server issues are sorted out.

I understand with the amount of people trying to connect at the same time it won't take long until its fully functioning. Rockstar did warn us.

Well this is pretty pathetic, they knew how many people to expect and they held off releasing online when the game came out because they didn't want problems...Well they've got them anyway.

Who cares about PS3, I just hope they get most of the things worked out before I get back home!

Can't really complain. It was obviously going to happen. Rockstar didn't use NASA grade servers to accommodate people that wan't to play GTA V online.

I expected Rockstar Servers to crash several times. Rockstar has shitty servers. Hope I can get into Online soon.
