Pre-ordered mine on march 3rd so I have nothing to worry about. Cannot wait for this I am super psyched for this game.
Oh by the way xbox360fanboy will probably run this soon but gametap have released their multiplayer impressions:

Servers are getting hammered at the moment though so you may have trouble trying to read it but I can sum it up for you "this game is gonna rock your socks off!"

GTA is launched simultaneously throughout the world on April 29th. If anything, the UK will get it first because American time is behind ours.

We have temporarily stopped taking pre orders due to high demand. If you have Pre-Ordered we will dispatch your copy as soon as we receive the product.
This is what it now says on the website I ordered my copy from. Luckily I didn't wait too long to pre-order it.

Tuesday is when shipments make it to big box retailers like Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart etc. If you've noticed, a large portion (I'd say 90% atleast) of games, movies, CD's, etc, come out on tuesday (especially movies, on DVD). The ones that don't, probably arrive by truck on tuesday, and then sit in warehouses until wednesday/thursday/friday etc. So no, it's not weird that it's releasing on a Tuesday.
I'm starting to re-think my Xbox 360 pre-order of the game. With achievements murking up the waters, will I still be able to input a code and receive all the weapons in the game, at once? (like on every previous Grand Theft Auto Game). Since the Playstation 3 has no such achievements to worry about, I'm thinking maybe it will have the weapon unlock codes....if this is true, it's a MAJOR deal breaker for me, because half of the fun I have in GTA is getting out of the pokey, inputting the code for all weapons, and then, you know, going GTA, lol.
I'm SHOCKED that no previewers have commented on this yet, and Rockstar hasn't said a word. You'd think more people would be wondering if they can still use all weapons cheats, and all health cheats, etc.
