It does not matter, but if I could choose, I would go for the original. It is not the first game that receive this treatment, as Hyperdimension Neptunia also has a different cover than the original japanese one. This just shows how many retailers still see videogames as toys and therefore they must think of the 'children'.
I'm going with the original, The alt covers aren't bad, but I think it's kind of ridiculous that you have to do this for American games. They raised the leggings for DOA, they photo shopped less cleavage onto Samurai Warriors 3, and for some reason our covers tend to have angrier characters.
I like the original 360 cover.
Not because I'm a butt guy, but because it just looks better.
Also because I'm a little bit of a butt guy.

Since Law talked about it, why Atlus just do not put both versions, the Xbox 360 and PS3, in the package? You would just need to flip the cover you like most, the butt one or the boobies one.
Definitely going with the original, PS3. I don't like the new ones, they're lazily cropped and sort of ugly in my opinion.
I actually like the new 360 one, only because I like prim and proper Kathrine.
I actually like the crop jobs. Makes it look like they where special editions with extra stuff in them.
Don't know if they'll have extra stuff in them, but it would be cool.

Everyone, quick, jump to conclusions!
Could be a mock-up, could be a change. Not the RP on the cover. You KNOW this game is going to garner some media attention just because of the attention its getting from the non-Atlus crowd, so Atlus might be trying to not draw that attention from the media - then again, the media has let the Shin Megami Tensei series with its occultish and violent themes.
If you follow Atlus at all, though, they're kinda known to do reversible cover art at times, which they've done with various PSP and DS releases over the last couple of years.
So if you have that much of a hard-on for the original covers, ask for reversible covers as a pre-order bonus at Atlus USA's forums, though be careful what you ask for as that may affect how Atlus manages the spoils. I dunno, I'd rather have a soundtrack CD than some sexier box art.

"then again, the media has let the Shin Megami Tensei series with its occultish and violent themes fly under the radar entirely.
There, I had to fill in the blank.
Seriously, though, SMT Nocturne was a much riskier title than this. You fought topless demons - which even showed up in Devil Survivor, I might add - and bondage-geared angels there. And you could make a deal with Lucifer to take on the heavens, among other things.

If I do get it, unless the PS3 version is somehow superior, it'll probably be 360 without cover censorship. I don't see why anyone would WANT the censorship, unless they're worried about other people seeing the cover; family and the like.
Well, since I'm picking it up for the 360, I'd prefer the original, since I think Vincent in his tighty-whities attempting to climb to the top of Kat's ass is rather hilarious. However, it doesn't really matter to me-the new covers look fine. And it's the same game on the inside, of course. I approve of what Atlus is doing, to be honest-not every wal-mart will want to stock a game with an anime-style girls boobies out there in the open, so they're making a change [for some, not all boxes!] so they can get it into more stores. I'm fine with that-let's sell more Catherine. ;p

Actually, according to Amazon, there are two versions of Catherine for each console. A regular and a "alternate box art" which has the cropped versions shown. It's not exactly jumping to conclusions here.
Especially since, according to Siloncera, it's official from Atlus that the cropped versions are variant art which are "more considerate of certain retailers’ broader customer demographic."
