The running joke from my coverage of the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete release last week was that I kept on referring to the product as the Final Fantasy XIII demo.

Okay, that probably wasn't very funny. But you can't help but laugh at this:

This is what you see on the outside of the Monster Hunter G box:

But take the game case out of the box, open it up, and you see this:

The Monster Hunter 3 demo disc is in front of the Monster Hunter G disc. Also, while the Monster Hunter 3 demo instruction manual got prime placement in the game case, the thick Monster Hunter G manual was placed in a separately wrapped package.

I wonder if Capcom is trying to say something...

Here are some more pics of the packaging and the absolutely gorgeous special Classic Controller. Also, to hold you over as I sink my teeth into the demo, be sure and browse the link collection below this story for handy links detailing both G and 3.
