Something tells me EA is doing as they did with the box art for the Pet Expansion. Revising/changing the box art. Everyone has seen the one EA sent out, but now Amazon shows a different one. The one from Amazon looks a bit toned down compared to the one released by EA. See below to compare the two. Also, we will update this post once we have more info.
EA Press Version
Amazon Version
Special thanks to Dentface for the larger version of the cover on Amazon.
In the end it’s not really going to matter which boxart they go with. Inside, it will still contain the same bugridden, unfinished, half-baked EP as all the others so far, with content removed and put up in the Store on day of release.
Maybe someone could get hurt by seeing the fairy turning the boy naked xD!!
As long they still release objects with functions in the store they don’t later add to ep’s i will not buy it
Similar situation with Ambitions

I like first one.
I like Amazon’s fairy and witch/wizard section better, and I like EA’s werewolf, zombie, and lady in white/ghost section better. the vampire ones are pretty much the same. Anyone agree that if they combined the two, keeping the ones I said, it would be great?
Just a friendly reminder, don’t mean to sound picky or anything (:P). But shouldn’t Supernatural be added to the “Upcoming Games” Tab. And shouldn’t SimCity 5’s slot be updated with it’s box art? 😛
Oh! One more thing… This may be already known, however.
The slider for Supernatural on the TS3 site states that the game will be released September 4th.

The Dutch Origin site is actually showing the second one: http://i1107.photobucket.com/albums/h392/Pinguintech/origin-bovennatuurlijk.png
Today my fansite also received these packshots from EA:

I prefer the Amazon version. The EA one seems to try and cram too much action in each picture but the Amazon one doesn’t really do that, making it easier on the eyes.
I also like the top first one better than the one below a loooooot more of the two shown here.
It’s more, it’s nicer and better color combinations + I hate purple so that robe on the zombie’s not helping.
My money’s on the EA Press version, because it shows the features more prominently. The appeal of wizard duels would be too much for their marketing department to pass up. (The Amazon version merely shows two wizards/witches casting spells together instead of at each other.)
The 1. ist better 😉
Its the same box. Amazon just cut the box off.
Oh I see the difference. The top one shows more “violent” scenes so that is prob press release much like the snarling dog that was changed on the final Pets box.
Im prefer first Boxart.. 😀

If you really zoom in on this picture :

You can see veins running along the vampires face! Pretty neat, right? So there will be some differences from the vampire types, heh. Also if you look at the ”vampire pearing from behind a tombstone” render, it looks as if his fingernails are sharper. Hm. What do ya think?
I Personaly like the werewolf render featured in the amazon (although it sticks out to much making it awkward) because it has what looks more like fur, opposed to the actual (box above) version, which just looks like overgrown bodyhair. :p lol,
But overall, I like the top one. Just wish they’d switch out the werewolves and tone the colors down abit.
