Why not? Sega released Resonance of Fate a week after Final Fantasy XIII....

The cover art looks fake to me, the ESRB rating's too small and the Bandai Namco logo white background doesn't have rounded edges.

Sega also released Yakuza 3 the same exact day as Final Fantasy XIII. But that didn't stop Yakuza 3 from being a pretty good seller. Of course nowhere as good of sales as FFXIII and that's to be expected, but it didn't exactly sell poorly either.

huh. I don't see it on any of the Tales sites either. It looks pretty good though but I guess we'll have to wait for the official box art still

Apparently, this is the official US boxart cover for the game.

The same as the Japanese version, which is nice. Though I preferred the other one that was posted here...

Is it a sin that I want this more than Mass Effect 3?

It's interesting that the PSN logo is on there twice... I wonder why that is.

I've seen that on a few games including a couple I own. Not sure why there needs to be 2 spots for mentioning PSN with 1 of them actually showing the PSN logo and 1 being in the normal spot, but its been like that recently.

Normally it's only in the top right corner, unless the Move branding is there, so this doesn't make any sense. Which other games have it twice? This is the first time I've seen this.

Pre-ordered on Newegg for $48 and it shipped today! I can't wait to play this! The only other Tales game I played is Tales of Vesperia on the Xbox 360 and I really like that one. Haven't even finished it yet. So very happy.
