Damn Canadians and there French packaging. ;) The lock box is pretty cool, and the duffel bag is better than I thought it would be (the custom lining makes me feel like a pimp).

Yes, I was actually pretty impressed with the special edition as well, although I kinda missed not having a behind the scenes dvd.

Poor you, gonna need to carry all this extra weight... must be hard on your nerdz back.... more than 8 million people doesn't speak english in Canada. Minority sure, but would you like your game to be in Chinise just because there more than you ? ( And yes there more people on earth speaking Mandarine Than English, that's a fact )

@Krasny : or maybe he gives a shit about the environment and doesn't want tons of extra paper floating out in the world, I know I am very disparaged to find so many booklets inside my games, I rarely if ever read them anyhow...

Seriously. Try buying a Wii game. They come stuffed to the gills with mauals, Nintendo Power ads, and a book of warnings that is usually as fat as the instructions themselves! Whenever I get a game, I do a "husking" that usually involves stripping out all of the stickers, security tags, and other extraneous bullshit before I even play it. OCD is just another way of "keepin it clean!"

Ok thanks for posting this... I've been looking and looking for a US version of the unboxing on the 360 - I've seen the Austrailian one (and PS3 at that I think) floating around but not a definite, US, 360 version. So first yes.. thanks for that.
Now with that said... I can't believe the crappy little cardboard sleeve the music CD came in. I hate to nitpick but that was a really cheap cop-out in my opinion.
I pre-ordered the SE from Amazon (with standard shipping so it's still not quite here - but I'm fine with that... I'm patient). I got some free gamer pics when I ordered, plus I'm getting a license plate that looked pretty cool... and I had some gift certs... so it just made sense to order from Amazon.
But let me say I'm pissed about the music CD!! The jewel case on the preview pics looked spectacular. The cardboard looks like crap.
Maybe I'll forget about it after I play the game... cheers!

The music CD went from it's cardboard sleeve into my car's 6-disc changer where it has stayed ever since

Personally, I think all CDs should come in cardboard sleeves. We've got enough plastic kicking around this world as it is.

Does anybody know if there is a comparison between the US version and the Aussy edited version? Or maybe does anybody know what they cut out? Just curious as so far the game has been great and I would not want anything left out. I have only barely made it to the second crib Bohan, but it has been a sweet ride so far!

off topic, but since the GTA4 glitch blog was filled with plus 30 comments already...
i ran into a glitch after getting drunk on my date with Michelle. whole chunks of level went missing, all i could see was my character against a white sky and black ground. after a while everything went back to normal.
glitch or is it intended?
