Quit spewing garbage, fatson. It\'s been known for quite some time now that Xbox games would come in a DVD box.

What would you expect them to do? :rolleyes:

Talking about the picture, not the box.  Yes it is a shame, they should be more creative and have a little bit more added to distinguish it from the PS2 counterpart.

What are you talking about?  The box it self is a DVD case with the Xbox logo and an ERSB rating... beyond that everything is FOX\'s design.

It\'s just the same as CvsSNK2 having the same box art for the Dreamcast and PS2 version.  There is no reason for it to be different.

You dont understand what Im saying..

Look at one of your PS2 boxes..
See where it says PLAYSTATION2?? (white text with blackbackground)

Looks like MS just took a PS2 cover, and pased the Xbox logo over the PS2 text..

Im talking about the layout.. (PS2 and Xbox covers almost look the same in layout.. Soon we cant see the diffrance between the boxes..(AND im NOT talking about the picture of Homer and Bart..))

I think Troglodyte is the only one that understands. Dont ya mate? ;) :D

Sure do.  I\'m sure it makes production cheaper.  You think they could come up with something different.  Something that says:

"Sure it\'s on PS2, but look!  I\'m different!  And better!."  

Instead it just says:

"Look, I\'m a port from PS2, I am a clone, a copy, un-original."

That\'s a big bleh on xbox.

How hard could it possibly be to change the box-art?

Sheesh!


I think it would be cool if xbox did a hologram type thing.  You know, you lean it to the left you see the cover of the game, you lean it to the right and you get a big "X" or something.

That would be cool.

Yeah.. Change the top of the box..

At least have the logo at the bottum.. Or a "desgused" X in the background..

Something like this!


So you at lest could see a diffrance..

So you were *****ing about the same designs?

Now that\'s just retarded, though it\'s certainly expectable coming from a major fanboy like you faston.

Is Microsoft making this game? NO. So how can you blame them for stealing the same design when they\'re not making this game? You must be a retard. EA is the one behind the design for BOTH versions, Microsoft had nothing to do with this.

This has got to be one of the stupidest topics ever. Bravo faston for demonstration fanboy stupidity at it\'s best. Take a bow.

only a full-blown playston mark would pay this much attention too so little detail. Geesh what are you going to say next....they copied black cords,black console, and a black controller.

Wow, a lot of you have completely misunderstood.

Nobody ever said that PS2 created the DVD box.  I don\'t know where you people came up with that.

AlteredBeast understands.  We\'re talking about the "PS2" bar at the top of the box.  Xbox put/copied their bar in the same position.

As Altered said.  The PS bar was put/copied in the same place as the SATURN bar.

Now that I think about it.  IT\'s probably so that stores can use the same style display cases to house the games.  Easily identifying which ones belong to which system.  Probably done that for the consumer too.  Now we know to check that location of the box to see which console it\'s for.

It\'s a design for the lazy sure, but people are lazy, so it works.

Ok.. I give up..

First of all..
Microsoft decides where to put the Xbox symbol.. Just like Sony does with the PS2 brand..

FOX only design the Bart&Homer pic..
I think MS should make another layout..

AB: Those has the same chape.. Not the same look.
SEGA box is white..
PSX box black..

If you look at the PS2 vs Xbox box you can see that MS uses the same type of layout.. I think if they really put their minds to it they could make something that looks much cooler..
