It's a regional-ish chain for movie/game rentals. The cover for the display case of Zelda: Twilight Princess on Wii was none other than the one created by Darius Enigma, found here.

I can upload a picture if anyone cares. It would be super ghetto-style. Low-res phone pic->picture of the picture using digital camera->uploaded, possible compressed by photobucket. :)

Normally I'd be pretty pissed if something like this happened to me, but for this one I think it's really cool since they aren't selling the game.

Heh, that's kinda cool.

I've always tried to see if any custom covers from here were traded in to Gamestop, Blockbuster, etc. I've honestly thought of printing official covers for games I intend to trade to flea market vendors (as they actually care about that sort of thing and will offer more money for games in covers, unlike Gamestop), but I've been lucky enough to never actually need to do that.

If I found a custom cover of mine being sold (unintentionally) with a pre-owned game, it'd actually make me happy. It'd mean someone was actually using my creations.

On the other hand, if I got a custom cover with a game I bought instead of the official one, I'd probably be ticked... but, I'm kinda picky about that sort of thing. I returned Silent Hill 3 today moments after I bought it because I forgot to check to see if it had an instruction booklet. And now I need to see if I can return it again in hopes of one of the Gamestops having the music CD that was supposed to go with it. =P

haha I love seeing that, I almost bought a second copy of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland years ago because it had a custom cover on it and I just thought it was rare :P

Yeah I hate how gamestop doesn't require people to trade in the bonus discs for games. I had to return MK: Deception numerous times, even once getting just the bonus disc. I was lucky the last time, I actually got a disc that matched the cover! I also recently lucked out on FF12 special edition. Almost none of the gamestops had the friggin bonus dvd! The funny thing about that was that I didn't have to pay any more for the game when I found it WITH the dvd :P
