    has anyone  seen the "whats in the box" movie? If not heres a link



    Valve is denying being tied to it, saying its just "another fan made movie" but some people think its suspect. A domain Whois was done for the website( www.whatsinthebox.nl) and it seems to be linked to a viral marketing company in the netherlands.

    The commenters at 1up are going crazy, some people saying it's just fan made, some people saying its a phone ad, and some people calling it "a teaser for a 7 hour war game".  I personally think the special effects are a little too good for it to be "just a fan made movie" and the tie in to the viral marketing company is kinda fishy to me.

    It does look a bit too good to be fan made. Closing a street and parking cars all over it, getting a bus to use, ect. That's not to say a fan couldn't do it, special effects are getting easier all the time, but if a fan did go to all that trouble I would think they'd have their name all over it. I know I would if I made it.
