I know this sounds strange but i've always wondered why PAL and NTSC games have different cover art?

Thanks.

There really is no specific reason lol, the only thing that would change this is content within the game. As you may be aware NTSC is generally American format, they normally get the games before us, content changes, updates, complaints, problems or just wanting to make it different for everyone.

No reason lol.

I know about the format regions and I know the differences that are put in the games for different regions. It's ashame NTSC XBox 360 backups don't work on PAL consoles otherwise we would have games long before they are out in the UK lol.

Thanks mate.
