Six Simpsons box arts, one happy Homer

The Simpsons and Matt Groening have never done anything by the book, so it's only fitting that they release six different box art covers for the upcoming The Simpsons Game. You read correctly, EA will be releasing six slightly different box art covers for each version of the game all showcasing Homer in the forground with a crowd of Springfield natives in the back. And we're also quite proud to point out that the Xbox 360 box art is the only one to feature a happy Homer who's excited doing his "WooHoo!" pose. The other five covers have angry or scared Homers being attacked, bitten or put in an awkward position. Is happy Homer on the 360 cover a coincidence? We think not.

3. I actually like the Wii one best. The 360 one needs some weird alien or a double headed Selma/Patty monster or something lol.

5. Yea Mitch that's the interesting part, it's actually good. Maybe I'll rent it that's about it though ;)

6. Do you think this is a ploy to make unsuspecting people buying the game think that each one is some how different??

7. I actually think this is on purpose. Everytime I've seen EA demo this game, it's running on an Xbox 360. Maybe I just think too much into things. Oh well....

8. Being a HUGE simpson fanatic, before even reading the post I liked the 360 one, because of the "WOOHOO". For all the others HAHA.

10. On the PS3 one it looks like Homers farting right in Lisa's face! Go 360 - WOOHOO!

Posted at 3:42PM on Sep 5th 2007 by MDJ2010

11. DS one looks to be the most enjoyable.

Posted at 3:48PM on Sep 5th 2007 by killersniperoo7

12. Of course, the 360's one is going to be the most enjoyable.

Do you think its because each cover will cater to the audience that buys it? LOL AHAHAHHAHAHAH!

13. The right wing conspiracy rears its glorious head again mwhaahahaa

15. 360 Cover Rocks!!!

16. homer (me) is also very happy.

Posted at 4:25PM on Sep 5th 2007 by homer34

17. i like the 360 one more becuase it just showcases more of the well known characters not in some crazy style or anything.

Posted at 4:52PM on Sep 5th 2007 by zourskittles

18. You can't be serious, you fanboys are taking this a little too serious. It's just boxart, I mean you guys are so freaking dumb that you try and capitalize on the fact that the 360 has "Woo Hoo" Homer? Did you forget the fact that there's a 30% failure rate of 360's, that it's been pushed to it's limit b/c it only supports DVD-9? Even the new design was told to be "faulty". Your being charged to enjoy XBL service? and it's noisy. WTF is wrong with all of you? Your so fucking stupid, and I hope you all die.

19. @18 change your name, then repost that

Posted at 7:10PM on Sep 5th 2007 by LesbianHam

20. @18
umm...I don't think anyone cares about what you are saying. Oh 360 is a failure blah blah blah. I'm still happy I have one. PS3 sucks balls cause it has no games! Blah blah blah. I have one and I love it.
