The Okami (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/14/metareview-okami/) boxart issue (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/20/what-the-did-ign-sneak-onto-my-okami-boxart/) discovered this week, or Watermarkgate, could have been a huge embarrassment for Capcom (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/Capcom/). Instead, it's become a totally great situation for everyone who bought the game. Capcom announced via their blog that any Okami owner can receive a free replacement boxart in one of three styles. One is just the normal boxart with (presumably) less IGN advertising, but the other two are beautiful art pieces with no Wii box design conventions.
So not only do you get amazing new boxart free from Capcom, you also have a highly collectible "error" art. And there's probably something inside the box, as well -- maybe a game or whatever.
