Standard WotLK Box Leaked?

A few days ago, a blogger, who was described as “too hot for gaming”, reported that a friend of hers sent her a camera phone picture of the WotLK Collectors Edition box. Well now the same chick is reporting that the same friend sent her yet more pictures, only this time they are of the standard box. Now I’m just as skeptical as the rest, but why would someone spend time on a nice photoshop job only to take a shitty cell phone picture of it to spread it around? You be the judge:

  1. tbh, it’s not a surprise if that IS in fact the real ‘to-be’ box of WotLK. Anyone would’ve seen that coming! =D

  2. An obvious fake but cool looking nonetheless.

    *laughs*

  4. Looks legit. The CE box had me skeptical because from what I’ve heard Blizzard isn’t releasing a CE WotLK, but why wouldn’t they?

  5. Blizzard have never said that they are not releasing a CE box, they have just said that they won’t decide on that until closer to the release. Some people read that as “we’re not gonna make a CE because we don’t have any current plans to make one”.

    This one looks legit to me. I’d expect them to have started designing a box for the game by now, so it’s not too far-fetched.

  6. considering that the last one from her was a fake, of course this one will be.

    I still decided to look for mistakes, and the most obvious one is that the box artwork that’s supposidly been photographed is on a slant, however, the print marking on the card in the second image isn’t on the the same slant. It’s a photoshop yet again imo.

  7. Pretty bad fake at that if you compare it to the TBC box, they copied a lot very nice but mine says 12+ instead of T for teen. And next to the blizzard logo is supposed to have some stuff about a wow account being required and an internet connection being required. And on the side where it says windows and mac etc it supposed to say cdrom or dvdrom.

  8. Indeed blizzard are using pegi.info and not T….however to be honest, who cares if its fake or not….the real one will have to be more or less like this one…

    Still makin’ me laugh. =)

  10. Very obviously fake..
    What an attention whore..

  11. It’s well done, but definitely a fake. There’s no side to the box between the front and back covers!

  12. Well actually that would be a smart thing to do if you’re making a fake. This way you reduce the quality of the image so much that you cant really spot any flaws that would make it an obvious fake.

    I say its a fake.

  13. Whoops this quote was suppost to go above it:

  14. RPF: ITS REAL IDIOTS YOU KNOW WHY MY DAD IS CEO OF BLIZZARD AND HIS SEEN IT HE TOLD ME THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS, NOW IM GONNA TELL HIM ITS GONNA BE LEAKED AND DONE BY A GIRL SHE GONNA GET FIRED NOW HAHA

    THIS IS REAL 1000 PERCENT

  15. To “REAL FAGGOTS”:

    Yeah right

  16. WTB [New Caps Lock Button] for REAL FAGGOTS

  17. @REAL FAGGOTS

    Lol, you honestly think you would be here if your dad was CEO? GTFO.

  18. It’s probably fake, but some aspects will be the same.
    Good fake atleast :).

    x

  19. I don’t think it’s fake. On close inspection you can see that there is no slant. Plus the parts connecting the front and back plates would look the same, so why waste time puttinf two on the plans for it. Not to mention that I wouldn’t send it to a friend if I wanted attention, I’d send it here or to the forums.

  20. putting*

  21. um its a fake look at the previous boxes on the front they all state Internet Connection Required. also Additional Online fees Apply…and on the side it also states above the blizzard logo. First Month Of Play Included, Internet Connection Required, Additonal Online Fees Apply. you cant argue this stfu im stairing at the box’s now period the end it was a fake.

  22. if you all haven’t noticed between the front cover and back cover there is no side panel.. o.O …. fake ?

  23. If this is a fake, it sure as hell is a good one. But this could just be a work in progress of the box and blizzard will add everything else later. Just saying.

  24. Well I gotta say this is pretty good, maybe a little too much Lich King though :P I get that that’s what the x-pac’s about but still, we need Death Knight pictures, Ebon Hold, something that’s on it as well!!

  25. omg look at the old collector’s edition boxes they all look the same and from what i’ve seen there is not going to be any change only that this 1 will have som frost details instead of green and it will be blue instead of green or brown :P have seen it on http://www.cdon.com or some site like that

  26. this is probably how it will look like http://www.gameshop.nu/bilder/produkter/pc1619.jpg

  27. the standard box will probably look somewhat like that 1 with arthas on it standing with frostmourne either in his hands or stabbed in to the ground :P (but i really dont care about standard box ^^ collectors edition all the way!!!!)
