A few weeks ago we reported that the official website for Bully had been updated with an "Xbox 360 Live" logo at the bottom and we said that Bully may have online play because of that logo. Today, Rockstar released the box art for the Xbox 360 version of Bully and at the top right corner of the box art we see a "Xbox Live" logo. So far, only games with actual Xbox Live online play have that logo. Spider Man 3, a recently released Xbox 360 game, has no online play and does have the Xbox 360 Live logo on it's site but does not have the Xbox Live logo on it's box art. Keep in mind that Rockstar hasn't mention anything about online play so this is not official, but it all adds up. Well keep you informed.
Soon after getting word of the Table Tennis box art being released I was led to MyWii.com.au once again for the Bully: Scholarship Edition box art for the Wii. You'll first notice that, unlike the PlayStation 2 version, it has art work of Jimmy Hopkins (the protagonist) and the school Principle. The effect with the character artwork, and background comics strips is great, and the blue is just right. Another great box art creation, two in one day, who figures.
The best part of all this is, it clears up the possibility we had when the Scholarship Edition was announced, that is, that it would not be coming to PAL region residents. Thus meaning Canis Canem Edit would be only on PlayStation two, and not be renamed to Canis Canem Edit: Scholarship Edition for UK and Australian residents.
From this we can see that is not the case, in fact it will be released to residents of the UK an Australia. This box art, just like the Table Tennis box art, is from the Australian version of the game, which is in the PAL region. From the looks of it, it won't be getting a rename to Canis Canem Edit this time, it will be known as Bully for PAL residents. Accounts for why the Bully website has been update with the Xbox 360 and Wii logos, while the Canis Canem Edit one has not.
Still no news on the possible multi player game play as of yet, but well be sure to let you know of any updates to that.

Hot off the Take-Two press line, Bully: Scholarship Edition has been announced for Xbox 360 and the Wii!
Both the Wii and Xbox 360 versions will retain the wit and deep gameplay of the previously released PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system title and will boast additional new content. Bully: Scholarship Edition takes place in the fictional New England boarding school of Bullworth Academy, and tells the story of 15-year-old Jimmy Hopkins as he experiences the highs and lows of adjusting to a new school. Capturing the hilarity and awkwardness of adolescence perfectly, Bully: Scholarship Edition pulls the player into its cinematic and engrossing world. Universally acclaimed upon first release, Bully: Scholarship Edition is a genre-crossing action game with a warmth and pathos that is unrivaled.
No news on the new content as of yet, however we have found some rather interesting on the official website. Aj Collins discovered that the official website had been updated with the Xbox 360 and Wii logos today, however the Xbox 360 logo has "Live" tagged on the end. Which leads us to believe there may possibly be multiplayer gaming. We also found that the official website for the PAL version of the game (known as 'Canis Canem Edit') has not been updated, which could mean Rockstar doesn't intend to re-release Bully: Scholarship Edition as Canis Canem Edit: Scholarship Edition for PAL users.
More information as it becomes available, be sure to stay tuned!
