That doesn't make much sense, the poster in the first post can't reasonably be folded into a cube. I don't think advertisers require people at stores to do handicraft work to put their promos together.
The geniuses over at GTA Forums found out what this is supposed to be:
Are you for real? Why would you fold a cube that way? Structurally very questionable.

It´s not a poster but a print proof. Probably a part of the box the cubes came in.
1, 2, 3, and 5 all face outward and are the same orientation vertically.
What doesn't make sense about it?
They were definitely worth the price but as we know now DLC is best in terms of paying users the closer it is to the game's release and Lost and Damned was famous for taking so damn long to come out. In 2007/2008 MS was still in their "buy everything to bury Sony" stage when they paid out the ass to get the DLC. Now that we're late in the generation and almost everything sells better on 360 they don't have to pay $50 million to get an advantage.
This is pretty much me. My most anticipated game this generation by far; can't fucking take the wait but I know Rockstar will pull out all the stops.
Absolutely. There is a reason it is still up there when it comes to XBOX Live activity.

Fuck count = 7. I would take a breather ...
My question. Why do these leaks not have more info? Where's the completed box? Where is the other stuff if this is the package those cubes came in? If people are taking the time to take a picture and post this, why not make it more legit and show what else their may be?
It's been over a decade since I worked in a game store back in college but all this shit comes with precut boxes and an instruction sheet (which was hilarious being it was just a cube) and other things. Not sure if stuff has changed but it just seems weird. It's not like posting pictures of this stuff is "wrong" or "illegal".

i was just trying my best to "outfuck" kvn.
Box could have landed in the trash while the cubes are still hidden away. Just speculating.

Yeah, I absolutely can't wait. It should be an incredible sandbox just for freeroam, but then there's opportunity for all sorts of awesome stuff such as jet dogfights and dirtbike races through the country.

Ah, lol.
Could be. But basic economics points away from it being packaging (but as I mentioned, haven't actually worked at a game store or retail in general for a long time) but I couldn't see them wasting that much money for printing in color on packaging. Most of the time it's a plain cardboard box or wrap because the consumer will never see what it comes in and most of the time you don't want to pull attention to what is being shipped.
All speculation of course but 1) that isn't the way those pre-cut advertising cubes are created and 2) nobody would spend that much money for printing the packaging that it ships in.
But who knows, the reason I'm usually in these threads is because speculation is fun.

If it actually works this time. GTA4 online was very buggy.
It's all modders now but even then, free mode is still ridiculous fun.
Shit, for a moment there I thought it was just a big finger to Nintendo.

Day 1 on PS3 for me.
Wow
They´re obviously not, look at the hardware, look at the games and look at their online. I don´t get why some people are so easily fooled by the marketing. And when i see the whole package i´m not really surprised that there won´t be a GTA port for this platform.
This thread could've really used you over the weekend.
Can you please tell me more information about the hardware and the online?
I think I've missed some details.

I want an Undead Nightmare-like expansion for GTA V.
Zombies and shit.
Zombies and shit.
Awe...Why do I have to be a loser? I guess I dont hate it, I just got tired of it fairly quickly.
They sounded 110% R* characters, for better or worse.

Yeah Ballad of Gay Tony was the GTA4 game we should have had from the get go.
If anyone ever wants to play GTA4 they need to just buy the episodes disc.
Screw the main game when you can just play the 2 DLCs which are superior to it in every way.

If one of the characters is a woman that would be awesome.

Very surprising that they're pushing another numbered sequel in the same console generation. I hope that it's very different to GTA4, if only for the sake of variety. Either way, you know it's going to be top quality on most levels.
Wow. Quad bikes, jets, bicycles, dogs, mountains, RDR style deserts and unbelievable graphics. I will be dissapointed (and honestly surprised) if this doesn't turn out to be my new all time favorite game.
GTA IV came close but ultimately felt too cramped, grey and monotonous.
RDR came even closer, but I sort of missed the cars and felt slightly boxed in when I realized you couldn't climb the mountains or bypass the invisible barriers around lakes and ravines and such.

They deleted the Tweet already. I dunno how people can be so stupid, especially to post it on their 'official' Twitter account.

They're boxarts to go out in store for pre-order.

Why would they have Xbox logos on a PS3 boxart placeholder?
i think its cool they get to finish out this console gen and begin work on the next gen without having to feel they have to rush it out
GTA 4 was my fav game this gen, i'm really anticipating 5

Hopefully it means they're pushing Bully 2 or RDR 2 for next gen...

God I hope so. If I hear one more foreign guy waxing philosophical...
