Soul Calibur IV Boxart: PlayStation 3 Is the Dark Side

GameStop has listed the official boxarts for Soul Calibur IV on their game page. It seems Namco Bandai is going with the dark side and light side jokes. The PlayStation 3 boxart is dark, matching the logo on the side, with Darth Vader up top. The Xbox 360 boxart is light, matching it's logo up top, with Yoda on the top. They also match their consoles. Good work Namco Bandai!
