@Neko_Tech: Same reason MS doesn't care to release Halo 3, Halo Wars, GoW2, and other 360 games on the PC. I don't think they want people to keep saying the 360 is essentially a PC.
Seems like we've found out how Gamestop will survive the digital download era, they're gonna publish their own damn video games.
AND NO ONE CAN STOP THEM
Don't get mad at me for saying this, I swear to god I do not mean it in a Fanboyist way, but I am betting this is a shameless trick by GameStop to try and get people to trade in their 360's for dirt cheap only to make a killing in 360 sales, noone buy into this, or sell rather. I tried to think at every angle why a dirty scumb bag company like gamestop would do something like this, and that is the only thing I can come up with; to propegate 360 trade ins in a way that is manipulative and slimey. Seeing as the PS3 Slims are coming out next month Gamestops eyes probably have dollars in them and they are doing any dirty thing that they can think of to try and maximize Slim sales, Gamestop figures there is no better way to make someone get a different console than the one they have is by making people think the console they have was created by sellouts, I am saying Microsoft isn't selling out but GameStop wants you to think they are, again don't buy into this GameStop scam.
I want the Slims to sell as great as the next Sony fanboy does, but not in a way that benefits a company that is the equivalent to the slime on Activisions $#^+. I hope the PS3 Slim does very well, but on its own rights, not because of con artist scams like this.
People will probably think I am a crazy conspiracy theorist, but I ask you "Why else would a company as corrupt as GameStop do something like this?"
Seriously give me one good reason other than this.

Lets get the tin-foil hats on people! The Illuminati are about to take over the world! But don't worry, the aliens will return to their homeland Earth and destroy our evil overlords!
But wait the world is gonna end in 2012 anyway...damn Mayans.
On an unrelated note, I just phoned Sony about my PS3, it stopped reading discs earlier this week, and since it's a 60GB model it's out of warranty due to being 2 years old come this November, they said it'll cost £99.
I suppose the damage coud have been much worse, I had planned to buy a Slim on launch day and to put my current PS3 in the living room to go with the big TV for Blu-rays, still going to but it's a shame I'm out 99 quid :(
You're just lucky it's my birthday on the 30th, Sony!
Find one of these boxes. Get a jewel case and stick a blank CD in it. Paint the bottom blue if you have to. Then go to an outdoor market and try to sell it. "Yo man I got a HACKED copy of a 360 game for the PLAYSTATION THREE CAN YOU DIG IT SUCKA?" (Screaming helps) Eventually someone will buy it because people are dumb. If they ask why the CD looks like a blank CD, remind them it has been HARDCORE HAXED (make sure they know its an X in there too, because the X is a frightening letter and will befuddle them into believing this must be far better than mere 'hacking') and if he had a real copy of the game he would probably be stabbed by now and they wouldn't be having this conversation. Also, try to get a feel for the person. If they appear to be republican, remind him that you donate 5% of your profits from illegal gaming sales to the republican party. If they are a vampire, tell them you hate Twilight too. If they're from PETA (hint: they have a special aroma that smells like false righteousness and a severe lack of working brain tissue wrapped in a burrito covering) tell them that you will kill a puppy with punches if they don't buy it. You get the idea.

@Boom-Chicka-Ah: Here to Create a Star Commenter...: NOTE: I'm not actually calling anyone a bitch. It's just something me and my friends say when shit happenes. :P A habit.
@Boom-Chicka-Ah: Here to Create a Star Commenter Empire: Infamous already is on 360. Only they improved the balance, eliminated some jaggies, and changed the name to Prototype. Then, for an encore, they ported the result back to PS3.
@ceilingFANBOY: You know what they say, once you go dark colour-scheme.. you.. you... err... there's a black joke in there somewhere.. the ingredients are there people, someone make something of this...
You know, when you think about it, several people had to overlook this stupidly obvious mistake. The person who designed the box, the person who greenlighted the manufacturing of these, the managers of the stores who got these, AND the staff who put them up. NONE of these people said anything about this, and it would be sad if it wasn't so funny.
