Box version pre-order at Bestbuy

Just saw this and was wondering if it had been talked about here. Couldn't find any threads so I'm posting it.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Amnesia%3A+T...Id=1966067

Hope that's not the real box cover. It gives the monster away. I like the original design far better.

Looks like a complete hoax to me. Also, site says published by ValuSoft, but the boxart says THQ, and that's not even the real THQ logo, I think!

It's a pre-order for the boxed version.

And I doubt Bestbuy would put a fake webpage up on their site on purpose. (Hoax implies it's intentional.) Perhaps, they're jumping the gun on some information they received and mocked something up.

Guess we'll see.

Well BestBuy IS a very large retailer. If someone tries to get away with unauthorized selling of Amnesia, it could go unnoticed. If it was Codblops they might pay more attention.

That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time.

It's correct, the THQ logo is the new one they released recently and valuesoft is a THQ company.

You probably need a monster on the box to get people looking at it to impulse buy in a Best Buy.
