This was just posted on the on the Rockstar website after players have been posting, blogging and tweeting their issues with Grand Theft Auto Online! While Xbox 360 users were able to login straight away at the launch, PS3 players were left wanting, then the server issues creeped in as the hordes of players took to playing, these issues are commonplace at the launch of any big online game! Rockstar aren’t shoving it under the carpet though and are addressing the issues as quickly as they can:
