[Chumley]

lmao

 

[Protome]

It's even reversable!

 

[Kyoufu]

That's nice of SMS to send him a brand new copy.

 

[Deleted member 17990]

Thats hilarious haha

 

[dr_octagon]

that is a great cover

 

[Strafer]

Pops Kratos :D

 

[Agent X]

I have to say, that's a really cool cover!

 

[PlayBee]

So do people bring a game home, throw away the box, and then sell the game after they beat it?

 

[Illusion]

Love these things. Always splices of joy.

 

[Hey Please]

That's really amazing actually.

 

[KiDdYoNe]

Dat price

 

[Transistor]

That's amazing

I always wonder why people write this sort of stuff, "lol" is already meaningless and just an internet phrase but if people are actually screaming.. welp

 

[subcutaneousphat]

There is no 'the' in front of 'boy'.

Otherwise this is adorable!

 

[Convasse]

Missed an opportunity to simply have BOI over Atreus, as it should be.

 

[NamelessNamekian]

Lol that's awesome.

 

[Blade Wolf]

$47.99 are they fucking serious?

Shit that's actually low believe it or not. Walk in GameStop used new games like 54 bucks, naturally you only get about 30 for trading it of course Xp. Can't see why ppl would do this

My local disc replay has done that I've seen. I crack up pretty hard when I see it. I think now they've got a way where they just reprint the original art and put it in a generic case if they have to

 

[Deleted member 16876]

That's awesome!

Yeah I don't understand why people buy used copies at this price.

 

[Ravelle]

People should stop saying I'm dying or I'm screaming.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Nice one lol

 

[shinken]

Are SSM offering a copy of the game or just the cover?

Lol, that surprised me too! Well, at least they got a new copy from SSM!

 

[patapon]

So awesome of SSM for giving a free copy :D
Keep it up guys and enjoy those amazing GOW sales. You guys deserve it.

 

[Deleted member 3925]

That's better than the actual cover. Impressive.

 

[Big G]

For some reason (probably the "M" in the corner), this calls to mind the boxart-as-clipart/Comic Sans meme from a few years ago.

 

[Max|Payne]

That's pretty awesome!

However, a thought just occurred to me: this could be used as a way to spoil the game to people who pick up a used copy of the game.

Unless the store itself did it?

Yup, every time I see that it just makes me want to scream.

On topic: Lol wow that price, that's what a new copy set me back about a month ago when I bought the game. Still going through it because this game has so much content and I don't have that much time :(

 

[NHarmonic.]

BOY

 

[Harris Katz]

That is amazing that Santa Monica offered to send them a new copy of the game. Really great good will by them!

I saw a used copy of Persona 5 that was around 60 euro's as well here, what use is buying used copies if they're just as or even more expensive.

 

[Zarathustra]

Not for 48 Snickers bars.

 

[dallow_bg]

Yeah I don't understand why people buy used copies at this price.

Cheaper than 59.99

 

[gschmidl]

I'm sure they didn't draw it themselves for internet attention.

 

[Donthizz]

Can't even spell BOI right. smh

 

[neojmr]

so cute^^

I assume that's what happened with all early Nintendo console and handheld games. Infuriates the collector in me that they used boxboard for everything.

 

[Deleted member 37928]

When I was a kid I tried to recreate the front cover by painting my own version on the back. Almost all of my old PS1 games have this "alternate" cover. :)

 

[nihilence]

Nice details. Includes the M and SIE icons.

Can this be the new "draw on the pizza box" thing?

 

[janusff]

At first glance it doesn't look like much, but then you can tell the dude who drew it went through a lot of effort. Lol. Good shit

 

[MrS]

Frame it and put it in the Louvre

 

[Nintendo]

Still not worth it. I'd rather pay $12 extra to get a brand new copy and support devs.

 

[Rudiano]

The used game store needs praise for this
