Initially the box is a standard affair, black rectangle, opens like a book, has a thingy inside to clip the disc on etc. But the similarities stop [roughly] there. Cast a quick eye across the front of the box and you'll notice something; this box is different, this box is new, this box is the future, this box is EXTREME TO THE MAX!!
Why so amazing? It's holographic! The front features a large picture of Samus looking awesome, with a big faded-into-the-background picture of a Chozo. The background is all shiny, as is the game title and logo. The back holds yet further treats; pictures of two new aliens, some screenshots and even more awesome holographic shinyness. Also while looking at it from any number of different angles, you can witness stunning blanketed rainbows eminating from the silky surface.
In summary then:
Strengths
- Holographic!
- Shiny!
- Awesome 'new box' smell
- Easy to remove wrapping
- Fantastic artwork
- Rainbows!!!!
- Writing on back in English and French (Canadian box)
- SHINY SHINY SHINY!!!
Weaknesses
NONE!
I give this box 10/10.
umm..review of the game like, later or something...whatever.

They should bottle that smell, and sell it as an air-freshener.
Mind you, its the same with new cars - they smell good for 2 months, and that's it. When the smell goes away you know your car has officially depreciated thousands, and that you should have bought a 2nd hand one!
But yes, shiny box and the new smell tempts me a lot.
> As shiny as the Q?
DON'T BE FOOLISH!
Sorry, i meant pornographic.
I'm buying it
Have you seen the pre-order box in GAME?
What do you think of that?
> New box smell - don't you just love it?
I couldn't agree more. How I lament it's slow fading :(
