Create your own NCAA Football 09 cover at Sam's Club photo

Remember all those posts I did on EA’s staggered reveals of the coverboys for the different console versions of NCAA Football 09? Well, if you’re planning on picking up the game at Sam’s Club, none of that is going to matter. Check Out, a blog from a group of techie Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club employees, announced a very special exclusive artwork program today.

For no additional charge, you can choose from a selection of college mascot images to use as your own personal cover for NCAA Football 09. If you check out the gallery below, for example, you’ll see that one of the options is the Notre Dame leprechaun; while Sam’s Club says that they “cannot have every mascot option available,” there will still be a wide array of images.

As long as your local Sam’s Club has a Photo Center, you’ll be able to take advantage of this exclusive offer; Sam’s Club will be the only retailer with official EA alternative cover images. Head on over to your area’s store on July 15th to pick up your personalized copy of NCAA Football 09.

I guarantee you I won't be able to create the cover I want. Thankfully, since I'm a Michigan State fan (Go Green, Go White!), the default cover with Sparty will do just fine.

This is a really cool idea, too bad I don't like Football video games.

So really instead of "Create" your cover, it is "Choose from a bunch of templates"...this is probably preferable, since I can imagine the logistical headache of having a bunch of retards send in 72 dpi jpgs to be printed at full resolution on a disc jacket; it would look similar to ass. So in other words, yeah, not too shabby an idea I suppose.

I'd actually buy the game, though, if I could have Tommie Frazier.

That's actually really awesome. This would be great if you could do this for every EA sports cover

Like with anything in sports, the minors are the "testing" arena for future prospects. So, if it works for this, then i guess we could see it done on other game genre's perhaps.

I need selection for my random paper cover sleves
