Marty Turco graces American box art while Canadian, European audiences get Mats Sundin.

With everything else about the NHL a far cry from the way it was a year ago--thanks to a new collective bargaining agreement and the high-stakes game of superstar musical chairs known as free agency--it's nice to see some things remain the same.

To little surprise, 2K Games today announced that the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions of its hockey sim NHL 2K6 would carry the same $19.99 price tag as its 2K5 predecessor.

Somewhat more surprising is the announcement that 2K6 will sport different cover athletes depending on where you buy it. American copies of the game will feature Dallas Stars netminder Marty Turco, while Canadian and European versions will sport the Swedish-born Toronto Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin.

Definitly excited for this one, even though I am not normally one to buy hockey every year, this will make my second year in the row for it and im pumped

One other thing it looks like release date is September 1st, That's rocks

Indeed. Consider it purchased given what I've seen of the enhancements. Also, consider me a two-copy purchase this year as it will be on the list of Xbox 360 titles I must have due to high-def support.

Can't wait for 2K6!

So... what do we do?

Wait for X360?
Everybody's willing to get both?

Personally one thing is sure, when I get next gen, I'm not going back.

It's only $20 bucks for the Xbox version, I'll get it.

That'll be 30$ to you, canuck. Even though 20$ US is 23,94$ CAN. We got screwed last year so I don't see why it would be different this year.

And yes, the $ goes after and we use a , not a . you weird people.

Should we finish this season forst before starting a new season in 2k6?

Dibs on the 2k6 Bruins, by the way.

lol well that's true, but i knew it would be 30 but it's just easy to copy and paste everything,

I wonder how the season mode will be this year because of the changes, hmm....could be quite interesting.
