WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 Boxart released

The new Smackdown vs. Raw 2008 Boxart has be released, with Triple H and Shawn Michaels on the front. No offical date has been set yet but rumors are that it will be released around November later this year.
With our super-secret hands-on report of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 a little over a week away -- see you on July 11th, everyone -- THQ has loosened its iron grip on some news and let the official box art for SVR '09 hit IGN.

Degeneration X fans should be pleased.

Yes, this year's game will come to you boasting none other than the mugs of the King of Kings and the Showstopper. As you can see below, Triple H and Shawn Michaels are there in all of their badass glory. This is Hunter's fifth time on the cover and HBK's first. Cory Ledesma, THQ senior creative manager, said picking the pair was a no-brainer.

    Haha yeah, 2009 not 2008. That is freaking awesome, though. I suppose they put a "stable" there because of the tag team theme for this year.

      Well they always have one person from each brand on the cover. I suppose that simply because it's DX they doubled up with it to have both brands and a single team..

        Hmm, yeah that's true. They could have done Matt/Jeff as well, as popular as they are, although then that would mean SD/ECW superstars on the cover, denying the 'main' one. xD

    2009 is what this game is called. Not 08. That had Lashley, Cena, and Taker on it. This has DX. Big difference.
