Seriously.  This probably doesn't matter to a lot of people out there, especially you Digital Distribution aficionados, but just why in the Sam Hell is there an advertisement for a 48 Hour Xbox Live Gold Trial on my motherfucking box art?  I collect games.  I don't want that shit there.  This is what stickers are for. 
 

You should totally return that and then boycott the game, because that shit is just unacceptable.

I think you will live.

Well that kinda sucks.

I hate that. They did that with some limited time sweepstakes for Double Agent.

" You should totally return that and then boycott the game, because that shit is just unacceptable. "

 Maybe the sticker is just under the plastic? If not then that is really stupid. This might not seem big but this seems like it could be some having comercials before the movie trailers kinda shit.

I'm sorry, even though this is a total dick comment, it's a still a total win. "

Maybe it disappears after your 48 hour trial?

 @Kombat:  Yeah, that kind of bugged me too.

Well that is pretty stupid.

that's stupid, since it's on the actual box art. 

" Maybe it disappears after your 48 hour trial? "

That sucks almost as much as the giant IGN quote plastered on my copy of Ikaruga.

Damn that sucks, I hate when they do shit like that ON the box art.

That's kinda stupid that they actually put it on the box art.

I hate when they do stuff like that.

That type of crap is annoying.

Ugh.. this happened on my copy of Dark Athena since I got it at Gamestop.  It's such an irrelevant thing, but it pissed me off to no end.

Yea it doesn't Really matter to much but I can see why that would make you a little upset your 100% correct they have stickers for shit like that it shouldn't be part of the box art.

that sucks dude, I guess im gonna wait and try to scope out a copy somewhere that doesnt have that shit on it

You sure its not just a sticker underneath the plastic? If not, that just stupid, how could Valve allow MS to put that on there.

I don't understand why they didn't use a sticker like every other company does.

Yeah I kinda know how you feel. I don't consider myself a collector or anything, but there's a notice on my Brutal Legend box that "there are free rock band tracks in this box" on the cover, and it kinda bugs me.

I found that a bit frustrating, but not as frustrating as when I buy a console with a game packaged with it and the entire game case is smashed to pieces (has happened three times out of the three that I've bought a bundle - including MW2).

The Double Agent one is still the worst. A Toyota ad right on Sam's fucking face.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying.

I didn't notice this until I saw this thread. Pretty annoying of them to do that, though I'm not a collector and don't care that much. You might want to print off a new cover to replace it. If I was a collector, I would do that along with replacing the cover for games like Ico and such.
