I took another look at what was revealed and it kinda makes sense.

From what i read (other websites) some people thought this was bogus mainly because of things like having NX written on the box, the color scheme and the bundle price.
I read a comment somewhere that companies to tend to send these boxes to retailers to determine shelf space. Whatever goes is the box seems irrelevant at this time, if you ask me.
The bundle costing 100$ more could easily be explained by having a HDD built in.
Truth is, not everyone is interested in digital purchases, and if they really are going after the casual crowd, this kinda makes sense.

I was thinking around simular lines with the box thing. If they haven't announced what the name of the console is yet why would they put it on a box they are showing retailers since that is were a lot of leaks come from and if the name is one of the things you don't want leaked before your even. I remember the Gamecube's name leaked early because E3 use to allow the bay door to stay open to let air flow while the booths where under construction, that was put to a stop rather quickly. Plus there was supposedly a behind the scenes thing at the gamestop expo, probally only for the higher ups. Since we are now about 6 months out from the rumored release, this is when they start showing their retailer partner's stuff so they can make shelf space. (Usually its done at E3 if they are releasing in the winter sales season.)

I had no idea about that GC leak! :D

I know there was one in Europe. Don't remember hearing about one in the US.
Maybe they were at the same time.... can't remember.

By the looks of it this actually looks like a legit leak. What was said actually fits the timeline and seems to be in line with what has happened before.

We used to have a user who had a "big" role in Gamestop. He is sorely missed! ;D
