PS£ boxart is so much nicer:))

from an eye catching stand point I say the 360 version has the edge, but the ps3 version is definitly a lot more engrossing. If you happen to stop and glance at it for a moment, you'll be pulled in, inevitably, to the dark siiiiiiide ;)

You can bet that Namco will put Yoda as a downloadable character on PS3 & Darth Vader as a downloadable character for X360.

Both look really nice but   nightmare =====>siegfrid and Ivy======> new girl and

Vader=================================================>yoda

and darkside===>lightside haha ;)

Both are excellent!

If reference to the 360 box, once looked at with detail it looks great but I swear the first thing you notice is Yoda and that could instantly make someone thing Starwars and if they didn't like star wars they'd completely overlook the fact that its soul calibur... while the PS3's Vadar is somewhat more blended and less a focal point.

mmmm hmmm the xbox360 boxart is too bright!! also i like the ps3 one better due to vader and the epicness of everything.

Who cares its just boxart!

If someone gave me the choice; Vader or Yoda.. i'd take Vader anyday. I do like the 360 cover art though.. but to me they're on par with one another. I like them both equally here.. maybe the PS3 a tad more cause it has Darth on the front. Who doesnt like that bad-ar$e?

love it, can't wait for this one...

I like the PS3 box art better, I just love the black background. The Xbox 360 version box art just matches the top with the "Xbox 360" lettering and the PS3 box art just matches the "Playstation 3" lettering.

Gotta love the PS3 version!!

Ivy's on the PS3 version, so I'm happy.

psn id: gingo.... both very smart boxarts lovin both of them still prefer darth vader to yoda tho =p

i like the 360 one better:P

Granted, I like both boxes.... this is a Soul Calibur game, not Star Wars. Funny that Namco would put the two "Joke" characters on the boxart. Blending the Star Wars and Soul Calibur Universe's may be fun, but honestly they are completly different and I just find it strange that bonus characters would make the front cover. Soul Calibur can sell just fine without Star Wars influence, thank you very much.

I'm just a wee bit upset we dont get siegfried on the PS3 cover, but thats just cause he's my favourite character in the series. The PS3 cover is grand, I love it, this is gonna be an interesting game....however..they HAVE to keep the character creation thing

i notice xbox live on the 360 version but nothing about online play for the ps3...if f-ing namco scrEw us ps3owners over (like sega did wih VF5) i will NOT buy it!!!

mark my words...and play the white man namco

I think they need a better boxart. Looks like a high-school throw away projectkt

It's already been said that Yoda and Darth Vader will be downloadable characters later on, I read on wikipedia, but originally it's from game informer : "In an article in the March '08 issue of Game Informer, Namco hinted "that the second characters may be available for download on the respective consoles at a later date" such as bonus characters.".

But obviosly the PS3 version is gonna be better, developers are getting less lazier on the PS3. btw, the PS3 box art is better.

Both are great, but personally I like the PS3 one just a little more 'cause everything in my room is black, well furniture anyway

WAIT!!!!

After looking at them for a good few mins, I've notice a lot. A lot of simplistic photoshop skillz that is. A lot of transparency is an easy way to make a boxart look good (see how all the characters fade into the box color at some angle) when you don't have source material to work with. There are also very simple outline and glow effects used around the PS3 weapon, as well as the logo used on both... which is availabe for use all over the internet. I've used the very logo to make my own. I've also noticed that no other newsites are reporting on this, thus I belive they are mega fake. Missed by us mainly because we were going over which version looked better.

awesome!!!!

PS3 boxart is so much better.  And Yoda/Darth Vader will only be exclusive for a little while.  Namco plans on selling the missing character as DLC later.
