      Yeah. Now the people that think RE5 is racist can bitch about this. It's like a politically correct twat's wet dream.

      What is really going to whet your whistle is how does the narrative play out with Africa considered the "cradle of life"?!?

      Fascinating stuff for those not anal about the setting.

    I like it, but I still think some of the fan made covers are better..

      Oh, I really like that one, Primagen.

      I think the actual cover is a bit too plain, to be honest.

      It looks like a similar boxart might be used. Kotaku is reporting that this is the official box-art.

        I think the one posted in this article is the PAL one, and Kotaku's is the NA one. Don't believe me? Look at the bottom left corner.

          I didn't even think to look at the ratings on the box. Damn, that's disappointing. I'd love to have the pretty American cover sitting on my shelf.


          (I added the American covers to the article too. I hope you don't mind, kevcothirtythree )

          Nah that's fine! Thanks Gothic Girl! I was thinking about doing it myself, but I'm still "fairly" new at this 'grepping lark and wasn't entirely sure how to!

      That does look cool, but covers doesn't matter to me.

      Big A you mean Top right corner? On the source of this article the top right corner of the 360 version says PAL.

        I think he was referring to the rating system on the bottom left.

          I didn't see anything with the rating system that said PAL.

          Oh really, do you guys also get that rating system in NA? Didn't think so.

          The big red circle? That's the BBFC's certificate and ONLY applies to the UK.

    The official cover makes it look more like a DVD movie rather than a game.
