OMFG The HOF cover is soooo nice. Do want.

Edit: Wait... $90 bucks? Nevermind.

Both look awesome!

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Art Revealed + Hall of Fame Edition Details
 

I'm not in love with the look of either one -- really not feeling the Hillis art. I like the Cleveland waterfront in the background, but I would have chosen a different foreground pic of Hillis.

I think the Faulk cover looks better but the bronze pic with the gray and black trimmings ain't workin' for me. I'd look a lot better if the entire case was engraved bronze.

Im diggin the Hillis cover..

I think I'll get the HOF edition.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Cover Art Revealed + Hall of Fame Edition Details
 

I'd probably get it if it contained a points card or a voucher for some of the inevitable DLC, otherwise HOF edition doesn't offer anything I'd want other than the spiffy cover.
