GTA Online not working..

For some reason GRA Online isn't working for me. After I pick my character it just loads and loads. Then I get a session time out message and get sent back to story mode.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Yeah the servers are having problems, Rockstar are trying to fix it as they have said it can take up to 20 minutes to connect.
There fixing the problem and they will announce when they have fixed it.

There's around 1 million people online.

Holy shit 1 million is a lot. I hope it gets fixed soon.
