By now, it should be readily obvious to the GameRevolution community that I like pretty things. Some say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but I'm sorry, I can't help but be swayed by a game's box art. Fortunately, Naughty Dog and Sony have managed to put together a pretty amazing cover for The Last of Us.
Behold.
Today also brings new information regarding pre-order bonuses. If you reserve the game at participating stores, you'll get the "Sights and Sounds Pack" which includes:
- The official soundtrack
- A PS3 dynamic theme featuring the cover art above
- Two avatars for your PSN profile (Winter Joel and Winter Ellie)
Those who tough it out and opt to reserve the game at GameStop will get not only the "Sights and Sounds Pack" but also the "Survival Pack" which includes:
- Bonus experience points for multiplayer
- A multiplayer melee attack booster
- Some extra starting in-game cash
- Special customizable character items for multiplayer
- Two special bonus skins for Joel and Ellie which will be unlocked after your complete the single player campaign
Oh, and in case you missed it, here is the latest trailer that aired during the VGAs.
How totally hyped are you for The Last of Us? Be sure to let us know what you think of the box art and pre-order goodies in the comments below. And don't forget, the game comes out May 7th, 2013.
