GTAIV official box art : Decisions, decisions, decisions [Updated] photo

XboxFamily has posted up some pictures of the official Grand Theft Auto IV box art. For both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, you will have the choice of three seperate box designs to reflect the inner you. Are you a foreign criminal, a man with a phone or a slut? Any one of these images could grace your very own copy of GTAIV.

Rockstar apparently told XboxFamily that there will be a fourth box as well, but so far there's no news on what that image will be. Perhaps it's a returning character that is currently being held under wraps? Possibly, but I could just be setting us all up for crushing disappointment when it's just a guy with a gun ... again.

Go check out the other box shots and let us know what you think. I wonder if the different boxes will translate into more sales. I dare say there are enough stupid people out there who'd want to collect the whole bloody set.

[Update: Kotaku says that Rockstar has recently announced that these are not, in fact, official and are mere concepts at this stage. Expect the final box art to change between now and then]

I'd of prefered just a black box with the GTAIV logo on personally, can't beat simplicity

Are they really going to publish the box with the sniper on it? Rockstar just really loves their controversy.

Any word if there's going to be multiple versions on the limited edition that's coming out. Which incidentally, I keep frigging forgetting to pre-order! This weekend, I swear...

The way things are going in Europe regarding violence in games we'll all be buying it under the counter and taking it home in a brown paper bag anyway so the boxart is unimportant.

I'll hold off for the diamond, laser-cut, titanium monolith in the shape of the "IV" logo, which will set me back $130 yet can't hold a cat.

consumer whores, unite!

The Slut looks like a bigmouth bass. The sniper seems the coolest of the trio, but the way they plop the logo on top of each of them is a serious turnoff. I'll be getting this one when it reaches "Platinum/Greatest Hits" status. Blurg.

I'm crossing my fingers that the rumored fourth box will have the legendary comedian Yakov Smirnoff on it.

The second box art reminds me of Roger Moore as 007.

I agree with monosylabik, I'd rather just have the original design, I rather dislike these covers.

I miss the multi-picture boxart from the previous games. These look alright, but they don't seem so classic.
