Rockstar is holding a contest to for the Halloween release of Manhunt 2 in NA. The prize for winning this contest this will be a copy of Manhunt 2 and a specially themed Wii console with matching Wiimote and Nunchuck.The just only has a sticker attached though.

The design matches the game but I'm not excited about how it looks. The game's title across it and the Wiimote are cool. This will probably add more attention to the game and the controversy it created.
My, is this Manhunt 2-themed Wii ever disgusting. If not for the fact that the Manhunt 2 logo is clearly visible, and the nominal stickering of the Nunchuk, it would look pretty much just like a blood-stained Wii. And Rockstar is betting that you'll find that cool enough to enter their Radio Rebellion Sweepstakes.
They're probably right, anyway. Limited-edition anything is a good way to get people's interest. Or free anything, for that matter. Did we mention you also get a 50" plasma TV?
While the Wii may not match our usual aesthetic, we still think it's a cool idea for a bizarre giveaway item, and another chance for Rockstar to capture some of the controversy they need to push copies of their game. Maybe later they'll release this as a skin for people who want the look, but already have a Wii. Or, we suppose, you could do it the old-fashioned way.

Damn, just posted
woops, posted in the other thread
ZOMG...that is TIGHHTTTTTT
I'll probably make something bloody looking, print it on cling-on material and make one myself...without the manhunt 2 logo.
Personally that is the last thing i want my Wii looking like lol.
I accidentally too, i pretty much said it is ugly.
I dont like it, it looks like someone poured spaghetti sauce all over it. (no not awesome sauce, spaghetti sauce)
Ya, either that or someone just threw up all over it.
Worst. Console. Skin. Ever.
not only that, they decided the nunchuck was too much work to make look like crap?
holy smokes!
that thing loooks killer!
i didn't think it looked *that* bad. I'm not much for skins on consoles and stuff, but it looks original. I wouldn't have thought to cover my Wii with gory stuff
the console looks pretty cool, but the remote is kinda bad. the nunchuk looks like crap tho. the gory stuff doesn't even cover the nunchuk. just a small part of it. and as kindrik pointed out to me, the buttons being left unchanged really stands out. as if the whole system was covered in blood, but the buttons are immune to bloody effects
its original, ill give them that...but still...it doesnt look all too hot. im all for blood and gore, and i go running whenever i hear theres something going on with it, but it just looks "eh"ish and...its not very attractive to me.
Gory? Yes. Disgusting? Maybe. Shameless marketing? Definitely. But still pretty neat.
More close-up images. The Wiimote doesn't look like it has a sticker, although I could be wrong.
