Actually, you’re right – it is.

Not that I’m going to be paying over the odds for limited edition tat anyway, but there you go.

If other x360 limited edition steel books are anything to go by (and as the first screenshot also suggests), the banner that rightfully bothers you Blerk is not on the actual box but on a plastic slipcase, that you can choose to leave out.

The actual x360 box is word-less and that makes it prettier in my eyes

EDIT: As for paying over the odds, Amazon seems to be offering the limited edition at £39.99 and the vanilla one at £33.99. Tempting…

Sony might not have a clue when it comes to selling expensive hardware, but at least they’ve got taste.

The PS3 packaging’s nicer – the Xbox banner on the 360 cover is really jarring.

Also, “They are in Kijuju” has been tagged on streets in various European cities.

It says “Kijuju” the name of the town in which most of the game seems to be set. Theres a viral blog based around someone staying there :

Of course it’s worth it to get the Limited Edition version because you get a TRAILER for the CG movie, packed in right there in the box!
Is that graffiti all over the front, signatures of all the staff that worked on it?

Nice, now i know what version i’ll be getting.

So where abouts did they reveal this? Odd that they specify those 3 countries and not just ‘Europe’.
