The EU one looks better like most everyone's been saying. But, the US version has the chick with the nice rack, so, I'm down for which ever one. Well, the way I see it is that it is good either way..

Kinda brings meaning to the phrase "can't judge a book by its cover". If the game happens to be really good, it will be the loss of the folks who decided that the game wouldn't be worth it due solely by its cover. Most people rely on reviews, though, so that would only be a small percentage of gamers anyway (if you could even call them that) big woop, content of the game is more important than what’s on the cover.

Guess what, I can't. MW2 is one but only because when the game loads it is the exact same picture. This reminds me of the Madden cover that they gave the same treatment to when Brett Favre (With Green Bay) was on the cover, and came back to play for the Jets. Who cares!!! Of the two the EU version is better and to someone who buys games off of covers (these people do exist), the US version is less appealing.

Paranoimia and Luke are the only two ppl who get it. Who gives a shit about the box art. Stop complaining and jus enjoy the game when it comes out. Thank You Paranoimia, finally somebody gets it.

But let's be honest - who bloody cares? I look at boxart once... when I get the game. After that, it's in a rack and all I see is the spine. As far as I'm concerned, the cover could be plain white with the name of the game in a plain black Arial typeface. Has anyone seriously EVER bought a game purely because of the cover art? Surely reviews are what you go by, or - at the very least - the screenshots on the BACK of the box? I think the EU box is a little better, but I don’t mind the US one either.
