It could be a typo, but March 9 is a Saturday. Also, I'm a bit confused as to why the other release dates are from different regions (Max Payne 3 and Ghost Recon both have European release dates while Borderlands 2 has the North American release date). Is PSM3 strictly a UK mag?

Still, this is the third supposed release month that we've heard for GTA V. I'm just going to wait until Rockstar officially announced the release date before I start getting my hopes up on when I'll be playing this.

I'm pretty sure PSM3 is a UK mag. But yeah, March 9th makes zero sense.

Figured I'd throw these in here (can't locate the Original GTA IV thread)

This guy, YeardlyDiamond1 makes the greatest GTA videos off all-time, LOL! Watching his stuff makes me wish you could MOD GTA on the consoles like you can via PC.

Anyway, here are some to watch...

I think Spring 2013 is a good bet for the release date.

I will put money on a May 2013 release.

They love that month.

A guy on that Spike GTT show guessed GTA V would drop in October 2012.

We can only hope.

That seems to be the most credible rumor yet since that was the month listed in the CV for an animator who worked on GTA V. Hopefully, we'll know come E3.

Cool I want to play gta5 before the world ends

[jeffx]

I want it NOW!!!

[Twigg4075]

As soon as I finish Starhawk and Max Payne I think I'm going to start up GTA 4 on PS3 since I just got the GotY edition the other day.

Pushing for the Key to the City trophy?

@ Twigg - if you really want a great experience, play the GTA IV, TLAD & BoGT missions in chronological order. I forgot which GTA thread I posted the order in.

I just fired up all 5 PS2 GTAs.

Character List Leak for GTA V?

Grand Theft Auto rumours always exist but since the release of Max Payne 3, GTA V based rumours have been flying all over the internet. With only days before E3 2012 gets underway this one might just top them all. Product Reviews has discovered that on a GTA V blog site is the ENTIRE character list that will be involved, including the main character. The level of detail in this blog post does make the idea entirely realistic but of course doesn’t mean anything until confirmed.
This goes without saying that what you might read in the remainder of this post could potentially be packed with spoilers, or maybe nothing at all. NONE of this has been confirmed by either Rockstar or Take Two, yet. So whatever you do with that information, run in terror holding your ears or feel that it’s time to satisfy your curiosity. Here we go.

Product Reviews shows that the blog goes into great detail about plot, potential storyline and characters:

According to the blog, the main character will be a man known as Chico Vialpando – a 20 year old who is successful in life and has no problem ‘getting all of the ladies’. It is when he is tempted to join a local street gang and is introduced to Tony Cipriani when things start to spiral out of control. Cipriani should be ringing your alarm bells immediately, as he’s one of the main characters in Grand Theft Auto III.

So far so good, but it’s after this point that it all gets rather interesting. Also mentioned in this blog post is Leo Johnson, the son of Carl Johnson better known as CJ from GTA: San Andreas. Leo and Chico are cousins and Leo is the last remains of CJ’s legacy, which prompts him to join a street gang and very much follow in CJ’s footsteps.
The suggested plot and characters create a very believable rumour and according to the source, has come directly from a Take Two employee. For the rest of the details and more in-depth description, you can see the blog post here. Remember that this is strictly rumour until confirmed by Rockstar at E3, but that doesn’t stop us from getting very excited.

Link: Grand Theft Auto V expected to sell 14 million at launch

Grand Theft Auto V will sell more at launch than Grand Theft Auto IV managed in its first year on shelves, according to one analyst. Sterne Agee's Arvind Bhatia today released a note to investors, saying he expects the game to debut in the first three months of 2013, posting sales of 14 million copies.

Bhatia said the GTAV launch should bring in about $700 million in revenue for Take-Two, which said it expected just over $1 billion for Rockstar products this fiscal year. With Max Payne 3 the only announced Rockstar title to launch this year, Bhatia believes it "is all but a given" that the publisher is planning to launch GTAV before the March 31, 2013, end of its fiscal year.

For perspective on just how big the game is for the publisher, Take-Two's previous fiscal year saw total revenues of $825.8 million. The publisher has projected this year's sales to hit $1.75 billion to $1.85 billion. That uptick has led to widespread agreement from analysts that GTAV will launch in Take-Two's current fiscal year.

GTAIV debuted in April of 2008 and shipped 13 million before the end of March 2009. The game enjoyed sales over a prolonged stretch of time, as two years later, Take-Two said shipments had reached nearly 20 million.
