Alternate Heavy Rain Art Available At Launch

When Sony Officially revealed the North American Box art for Heavy Rain earlier this week, reception was divided. Some had no qualms, enjoying the emphasis placed on the four staple characters. Others took issue, expecting something on par with the much simpler European execution. Several times the cover was called out as busy, amateur and even a bit exploitive. Spurring much debate, many visitors to the official PlayStation Blog asked if it would be possible to download the sleeker European box art in order to print and replace the North American default.

Responding to a specific request, SCEA’s Cristian Cardonia gave what appears to be a definitive answer:

“We’ll be doing that for those that would prefer the UK artwork. Keep an eye out on the blog around launch!”

Sony and Quantic obviously appear willing to take steps to appease their fans. Which version of Heavy Rain’s box art do you prefer? Any of you plan on taking advantage of the promised download?
