I'll probably get flamed for this but I actually like both covers. They match the colors of their respective consoles ;)

PS3 Version looks awesome..but I don't think i'll be picking it up since i'm terrible at fighting games except for DOA which i find it Noob friendly :P

the 360 version omits ivy? mistaku.

VADER!!!

God is behind you Vader! You can't loose!

Aww, why does the PS3 get the "bad guy" version? Heh. Both look cool...just don't know why Bandai Namco is showing off Vader and Yoda so much. I'm sure the game can sell itself.

It really looks like a joke, now.

I want to play against Darth Vader with Yoda. But, I will get the ps3 version as I usually do.

if ask, you must: know, you never will :|

Does anyone know whether the gamefaqs release date (June 23rd) is official? Considering we have boxart already, it can't be much longer than that. And any news about Europe?

PS3 cover looks better. I hope there's a way to download Yoda to the PS3 version and vice versa. I want red saber on green saber action.

Yoda, but they should have put both in both versions.

I'll take both. Sometimes it's good to work for Ubisoft here in germany.

PS3 version looks better, but just barely. And because Ivy is also on the cover.

Nice colors on 360 version...
I vote for Yoda...The crazy-little-dwarf is welcomed.

@silkylove: Damn Straight! I also hope this happens. It would be a crime against humanity if Vader couldn't beat the crap out of that little do-gooder Yoda. Long live the dark side!

How much would you pay to download Vader if you had the 360 version or viceversa? I'm not so sure a lot of people would pay extra just for one more character...

I love Yoda.

But the fact that I only get Yoda kind of annoys. I see DLC in SC4's future.

the star wars audience is large, so putting those characters on the cover sells to them, which means MORE sales.

Now if only i didn't have to get both versions to see both characters...

Both of those look pretty darned good.

The PS3 version looks badass.

the PS3 version FTW especially since Vader is in it.

They both look pretty fucking sweet but i'm sorry to say. VADER FTW :p

@Zuiyo: I think they said both the characters were going to be released as dlc for each system. As in yoda will be dlc for ps3. Vader dlc for 360. For free later on. Don't qoute me on it

@nekotails: Don't you mean boob friendly? :P

Another Reason to regret my purchase of a 360.

Since i'm not a really fan of the PS3... I guess i dont have a choice but to get Yoda... dang *snaps*

Yoda looks a bit silly.

I'm horrible...I had to go back and LOOK for the Vader/Yoda on the top of the box arts. My reaction was "Wow they made Siegfried prettier...interesting." Obviously this means I need coffee BEFORE internets in the morning...

For the love of God don't put the Star Wars characters on the front. I'd convinced myself to look into, telling myself "Oh, they won't be that central, you can ignore it," but slapping them on the box instantly throws away the benefit of the doubt I'd built up inside me. Either way, if Yoda wasn't there the 360 box is hot.

Vader.

@One Way Mule: That's something I'll probably never say about the 360. Oh well, to each his own.

Vader!
Anyway, it's stupid to put those characters un the cover ...as extras , they are ok....as box art main characters it's a joke to the soul calibur fans

don't worry fellow Wii-ners, you have Soul Calibur Legends :D. I wonder if they are still gonna have that creat a fighter thingy.

The 360 one looks pretty crap imo. And i find that having a lil green gremlin staring at you at the top-centre of the box is more funny than "cool".

The vader one looks pretty cool.

man, I'm happy I have a PS3 lol. *rolls eyes* at people playing as Yoda...

Neither Yoda nor Darth Vader belong anywhere near the cover of a Soul Calibur game.

Ah man I hope they have DLC for Vader on the 360. Sigfried vs Darth Vader... That would be something special. Or, Nigthmare vs Yoda. Covers look nice.

Just took a look at the Soul Caliber II box art across all versions and Namco did the same thing by putting the "guest" fighter top centre. So no real surprises here.

Still, I don't care how angry they make Yoda look, the PS3 version is much more badass. Makes me wish I had a PS3.

I think the PS3 cover is benefitting from Vader more than the 360 from yoda. Ill perhaps pick it up when it comes down in price a bit.

Neither nor. The sole idea of Star Wars characters in SC is stupid.

It's really no surprise they slapped Vader and Yoda on the Box, they did the same thing for Soul Caliber II with Spawn, Link, and Heihachi.

So if Xbox gets Yoda, and PS3 gets Darth, does that mean the Wii version is getting Jar-Jar?

@badasscat: THANK YOU! I wish half the gaming world's idiots would understand that.

As much as I love Soulcalibur, I would feel queasy with my beloved Star Wars icons on the cover(s).

@Del Deadeyes: I agree with you but they are doing the exact same thing as they did with Soul Calibur 2 and have the console exclusive characters.

Never was much of a SC fan/player. Its interesting how prominent the SW characters are on the covers. Its as if its used as THE major selling point of the game. For all you SC fans, does it need this coverage all over the box art as a major selling point?

@Gentleben-Nintendo Club Star Whore: Well played, sir.

Vader is better of course. And the PS3 pad is better for fighting games so thats another reason to choose it.

@SumDum_Guy: Well, the excessive amount of jubblies can also be seen as a major selling point to some. D:

The online could be one, too, provided it's good.

obviously, everyone went WTF when they announced that Star Wars characters (WTF!?) are going to join the roster in SCIV.

But they have decided on it already, and there's nothing we can do about it. Might as well embrace it and pick a side.

It's not weirder than having Spawn in the game.

Neither. Why friggin Star Wars??? characters from Tales Of would have been awesome, though. Or from Idolm@ster...

@Gentleben-Nintendo Club Star Whore: Reggie Fils-Aime will probably try to negotiate a deal to get himself in the game, shameless self-publicist that he is.

I want Vader, but I prefer my games to be on 360, so Yoda.

@Jack Frost: Nice one =)

@duckmouth:

His weapon of choice-Faulty lens on Wii :)

i have both systems and i'm getting the ps3 version. but why am i typing this since nobody will see it anyway...

I'll get the 360 version when the characters are downloadable. All software has pretty much run better on 360 so far. Plus nothing beats XBL.

@badasscat: Are you kidding! This is an added bonus! I guess Link, Spawn and Hitachi don't belong in the game either...

Some people ay?

@badasscat: Are you kidding! This is an added bonus! I guess Link Spawn and Hitachi don't belong in the game either...

Some people ay?

I have a feeling that someone in dev team had an argument about who would win in a fight, vader of yoda, so they decided to put one each into the games to see which one sells better.

My opinion, yoda would kick vader's ass anyday.
