Answers 1 and 2 are for North Americans, 3 and 4 are for Europeans. Answer 5 is for anyone (but you're a horrible person if you choose it). I voted 3. We get delayed releases, higher prices and a worse PSN store, and now we lose superior Heavy Rain box art? Madness!

Anyway...

Yesterday, Sony revealed the US box art for Heavy Rain, and compared to the European package, it was awful. Fortunately, enough people thought so for Sony to take notice, and SCEA has responded to the hate with a compromise. It will offer up a printable version of the UK box so that fans can use that one instead. 

"We’ll be doing that for those that would prefer the UK artwork. Keep an eye out on the blog around launch," confirms associate product manager Christian Cardona. 

It's actually pretty cool that Sony would respond to fan reaction like that, even if the offer of a printable cover is a mere gesture. Seriously though, SCEA needs to start using European box art for its games, because this has happened before. Need I remind anybody of the ICO debacle?

This is badass.

I liked the European Boxart wayyy better.

Okay, so SCEE let SCEA have our boxart.

Now, SCEA, let SCEE have GOW Collection and Demon's Souls already!

The european boxart sucks, I for one am glad I am getting the US version over that boring cover.

By the way...

I like the US boxart. I like it lots.

How exciting... We still keep the rainy box though

Cause when all these small time threads dissappear, the official thread will still be standing strong!!!!!

superior?

that box art is awful & will scare people away from t he game lol

I wantthe american one!

Well this is just a slap in the face to whoever did the NA boxart and telling them that they sucked.....If i knew their direct email address i wouldve told them myself =P

At least the NA one has a gun on the cover.. European boxart would never sell here
