Not exactly the prettiest display, but it's sure to catch your eye. Thanks to Kutage for the heads up!

yuck gamestop exclusive sticker. it's probably just on the shrink wrap though, so it's not a big deal.

It was just on their mock up box art display stuff. More than likely it will NOT be on the final box art of either stores version of the game. It would be total BS if it was considering all of that voting we all did for the box art in the first place.

Whatever gets this game into the hands of the masses I'm for.

@Kutage
Agreed, but we can't rule that out. The Wii version of Okami had a small, circular sticker on the plastic wrap that touted a near-perfect review score. Innocuous, right? Well, when you tear it off, you see that that sticker concealed another circular near-perfect review score that was printed on the actual cover. This of course is referring to launch copies, which had the infamous IGN watermark, so it might be that they got rid of it when they fixed the cover, but still.

@LegendofSantiago@Mirr0rR3flection
... what the heck is wrong with both of you? Of course all that ugly stuff won't be on the boxart itself. It's just on the plastic. You should see the stuff they stick on boxes, where I'm from...

Geez. Just accept that they're proud of having an exclusive big game... and they even might want to, you know, make some money out of it.

Unless you have... OTHER ways of getting the game, then by all means!

From the looks of it, it is on the actual sleeve art. If you look at the top right, the plastic reflection covers the GameStop sticker. I don't care, cause I will just print a new one or use the reverse artwork. Still is pretty stupid, if true though...

Looks like that is right at the counter. I'm glad they are advertising it fairly well.
