   I'm surprised at the amount of complaining about this. So what if Australia gets the 'better' version, they barely get anything to begin with! Besides, we didn't get an LE for CS and I don't remember NEARLY as much complaining on here and on the front page article about that.

   The fact that we are GETTING one should be good enough, not "so and so gets the better one". We could've you know, not have gotten it at all, would that be better?

   I'm serious, I have NEVER seen this amount of complaining over actually GETTING a CE... As for the Vita not getting one, in that case yeah that would be a different story. It's just disappointing that LE's are so commonplace now (which is great) that people pick them apart... Buy it, or don't. There's reasons like budget restraints that DO exist.

   I'm with you, it used to be that just GETTING a LE was some big deal, now? they've become so common that all people wanna do these days is complain they aren't special ENOUGH.

   You guys did the same thing to makoto on the cs2 cover. Seriously aksys this senseless war on underboob needs to stop. :)

   Well, it's either have it edited for stores, or not have it on store shelves at all, allowing for less sales... You chose the worse of the two poisons.

   *cough cough* Don't use Catherine as an example... *cough cough* Retailers had optional covers to use...

   Alternate - http://www.amazon.com/Catherine-Alternate-Boxart-Playstation-3/dp/B004XYN4CU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1327267028&sr=8-5

   Standard - http://www.amazon.com/Catherine-Playstation-3/dp/B004P7VGF2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327267028&sr=8-1

   Some retailers indeed stocked the Alternate Cover art only. (Amazon had both)

   Thats my point though. There was an option. You could go somewhere like GS and get the real cover, or go to somewhere like Walmart and get the prude's cover.

   And if I'm spending the extra on the LE I'd prefer not having it all censored up. I mean, if the cover is censored, who knows what the artbook is gonna be like?

   Catherine's a good example of how to get around that, indeed. I have the Imported version of the game already, so I really don't care what they do to the cover.

    I'm just going to leave this here. We generally aren't changing these things just because we think you guys can't handle a little boob.

    Stupid ESRB...*mumble mumble* Something about their mother being a classy lady...

    But would it be beyond possible to say, include an uncensored game case inside the LE, and have the censored case as the standard? Because from what I was reading, it sounds like the problem is with what the public sees, so as long as they don't directly see it?

    I must ask...if the underboob is such a big deal...then how does the PS3 Catherine cover make it through nyaa?

    I never realized the ESRB were such sticklers about covers, but that's the thing. I can understand their position on the Dead Island logo and maaaaaaaaaybe even the L4D2 logo. But it's not like anything is showing on the BlazBlue covers. You'd see more revealing clothing if you went to a beach, honestly.

    Catherine had alternative covers for the PS3 and 360 covers of the game that didn't really show anything. The funniest thing about this, to me, was they had an alternative cover for the 360, which had *gasp* midriff! God forbid a girl shows skin on her back! I think the alternative covers were just to give the super-conservative retailers peace of mind, but it was wholly unnecessary. I sometimes wonder why this country is so sexually repressed.

    I blame the return of mortal Kombat. The ESRB is walking on it's tip toes looking out for MK's next violent scheme. We should try to ban MK in the US and have BB take it's place at evo--or Arcana heart or melty blood, and then we can have as much under-boob as we want! :3

    --for those who didn't catch my joke, MK is largely responsible for the establishment of the ESRB. >_<

    Well, if it hadn't been MK I'm sure it woulda been something else that came along.

    Gotta keep the youngins in mind I guess. Anyone born after 89 probably wouldn't even remember that.

    Also, I agree about Evo. XD

    Hmm...since they would have to show each character for each month...if they had fan-service for each month...then each month would revolve around each character's most "charming" feature nyaa...
