Old Bioshock PS3 packaging pulled for a little girl photo

Life is all about second chances, right? A few weeks ago we showed you an interesting icon at the bottom of the PlayStation 3 version of Bioshock’s packaging. It showed a cute little Home icon. The art was hosted at the developer’s website, so we all wondered what exactly the Home integration would be. Since then, the packaging has been pulled from Digital Extreme’s website for its "unnofficial nature," and some new art has been found by the guys at PSNHome.

As you can plainly see, Home has been swapped out in favor of a Little Sister. Digital Extremes had this to say on their website about the previous art they had available for consumption:

Note: The Bioshock PS3 box art, recently posted on our website, has been removed due to its unofficial nature. We apologize for any confusion.

My dream of a Bioshock specific Home environment complete with wallpaper, and clothing line has been smashed quite thoroughly. That’s not to say that the game will not include some sort of functionality, but it appears that the developers did not want to mislead anyone. Also, would you kindly hit the break for the full scan of the new packaging?

Maybe you should play it first Amaru, or wait for the (now) famous Dtoid review.

I would be very interested to find out if they're doing an LE of this, as I would now like to purchase my own Big Daddy figuring having missed out on the chance last time.

I have to say this looks a lot better than the old box art, though not as classy as the special edition box art.

Adding the kid makes it look cheesy.

I like the old packaging better. It made the Big Daddy more intimidating and the Little Sister just isn't needed. The Big Daddy is the iconic one; the Little Sister just makes it look stupid.

That said, it's still better than 90% of game box arts and I'm still totally stoked to buy it.

The perspective of this picture is highly confusing, like what is she holding out her hand for? It looks cool, but a bit strange on the angles and postures of the characters. I would rather have a subdued big daddy, cause that was the whole point of the game.
