Unless you've been hiding under a rock all day, you've probably heard the rumors making their way around the intraweb about San Andreas being leaked online. Sadly, it turns out that this is in fact the case. With just five days left until the game hits store shelves, pirated copies of San Andreas have begun to circulate the web. Moments ago, Rockstar sent out the following statement regarding this unfortunate turn of events:
