| GTA IV Official Box Art In-Hand? |
| Written by Austin Cox | ||||||||

The original release date for GTA IV has come and gone. But we all knew by now (hopefully) that we’d be waiting till 2008 to play the latest hit in the crazy sandbox franchise. We got a surprise this morning from Rockstar though. We thought we had the game in our hands. Read on for more and images… This morning we got a box at our offices that felt a little heavy. We open it and there are 6 copies of GTA IV! We look closer and see the dreaded “RP” and realize we’ve been sent the boxart sans THE GAME! Anyways, we thought we’d share with you the official boxart for both the PS3 and 360 versions. We however won’t show the images of us crying when we realized these were dummy boxes.

Update: Rockstar has contacted us and stated these boxes are simply promotional box art that contains concept art. The email went on to say, “We have always kept the final art under wraps until shortly before the official launch of the game”. So while game fans may start seeing these boxes on store shelves, we’re being told these are not officially the final designs we’ll see on shelves. Honestly, it seemed like a good idea on Rockstar’s part considering the obsession some people have with collecting. The good side is that it means Rockstar isn’t out to just sell more copies. Maybe not good from a business sense.
