GTA V Gets March 2013 Release Date?

Why a March release is looking more and more plausible with each passing day.

Note the bottom right corner.

With the recent news on Grand Theft Auto V not being at GamesCom 2012, it seems unlikely that the game will launch in October or even December, otherwise Rockstar would be advertising the game more heavily at this point. A new GTA is obviously a big release and we all know Rockstar are sitting on a goldmine likely of generating hundreds of millions of dollars in sale in no time at all. Even two new small, minor screenshots set the internet ablaze this week. #GTAV was trending on Twitter in minutes after Rockstar's post yesterday. A lot of fans are starting to predict the proposed release date as being May 24th 2013, due to the 2405 hints scattered throughout last November's trailer. While this is a plausible theory and fits Rockstar's recent record, we should also remember May 24th is GTA creator Dan Houser's birthday and it is possible this is the reason 2405 keeps coming up. Our guess is GTA V must be coming before March because if Rockstar doesn't release GTA V by then, they will not hit their billion dollar target. At the same time this year just seems too soon as we are already hitting mid-July and there's no major advertising campaign on the horizon, which makes us think a March release is looking more and more plausible with each passing day.

Note the 2405. In this instance, it's a street number. Could it be hinting to something more?

I live in Australia, love to write and play games. So what better than writing about games? I love all things action and fantasy, as well as my occasional shooter. I literally cannot wait for GTAV!
