Custom GameStop Box Art

[Dolemite]

When I saw this thread I was reminded of this box I saw at EB recently. I went back today and got a shot of it.

The second pic is the back of the box.

I made a sweet custom game case when I a assistant at GS years ago. Does anybody remember those horrid look Madden 2003 preview case they sent with Madden himself on the cover? It was a shoddy MS paint cut job and Madden for some reason had his arm in the air and his hand facing his head like he was supposed to be holding something...maybe like a GRANDMASTER FLASH STLYED GHETTO BLASTER!? So I drew in this huge-ass 80's dual tape boombox on his shoulder and put it on the shelf. It stayed there for a day or so until somebody started laughing at it when the story manager was in. He found it ammusing, but he was pretty "corporate", so it had to come down.

Dammit, hah, I'd love to see that. If I get my job at Blockbuster, I get the feeling I wouldn't be able to fuck with the used games, I'm not sure how that stuff works yet.

Heh. I like the 'endorsements'. I think I'll start adding 'disclaimers' to crap games.

Madden 2001. "By buying this game you agree that you will recieve no more than .50 store credit when you trade it in later this afternoon."

MGS2. "We have 10 million in the back. Your copy, on loan from The Collective, will one day return to its rightful place in the...hive."

The Getaway. "We sell used DVDs. Put this down and go look for a used copy of Lock Stock."

DOAXBV. "Kleenex not included."

NFL2K3. "This game costs $4.99. Don't ask us if it's good."

Clearly. So, just because you're not a fan, you think it should be insulted?

Yea pretty much...no more comments from me on this because I don't really want to either derail the thread or get into a pointless argument.

I'm doing this today. I will take the actual art out of one of our used ones to do it too.

We take incomplete games because they do indeed sell. We do not take DVDs without actual case because anything we can do to stem the overwhelming tide of used DVDs coming in the better.

also: the newest one I did was:
"Ratchet & Clank: Goining Commando.
LOL @ Going Commando!11"

I need to see this.

Dolemite: Great one.

Dole, that box is flat out scary. Thanks for the pics.
