Shadowrun 360 & PC

Shadowrun is an interesting case not because it is a particularly good cover or even because the PC version is different from the 360 version. What's odd is that they're different while being almost exactly the same. I'm not sure why Microsoft decided to make the cover art different for the different platforms but having it be the same exact design just with slightly variant art makes it even stranger.

I assume it's supposed to symbolize the PC/360 cross platform play as the guy with the sword on the 360 box looks like he's the guy with the shotgun in the bottom corner of the PC box. Likewise, the guy with the shotgun on the 360 box is the guy with the sword on the PC box.

I'm thinking, either way, that guy with the sword is screwed.
