Capcom Updates Us On Okami Replacement Covers

I'm sure many of you remember the Okami cover fiasco. The original cover for the game featured an IGN watermark hidden in the background. Clever sleuths found the accidental watermark and complained. Capcom, being the awesome company they are, offered everyone that purchased the game replacement covers for free.
This all happened back in April. I, along with many others, applied for a replacement cover but never received it. What happened? Capcom's Colin has an answer for us:
I wanted to give you all an update regarding the special covers for Okami.
First off, thanks to all who submitted. Your love of Okami is apparent by the flood of requests for the new covers. Interest was spread across all three options fairly evenly, and some folks even submitted three times to try and get all the covers.
Because of the sheer number of entries, repeats and foriegn entries the list has taken awhile to collect. Those who submitted multiple times were reduced to one. Those who submitted from outside the US and Canada were removed entirely (sorry!).
Our hard-working staff is almost done and we'll be sending out the confirmation emails next week with art arriving in your mail shortly after. As a special bonus, the art will actually be double sided with the original Wii cover artwork on one side and the new piece of art on the other. Two for one is how we like to do things at Capcom.
For those who missed the opportunity, you can still download high quality versions of the special covers at http://www.capcom.com/artredemption/. Also, don't forget about all the amazing artwork at http://www.artofokami.com. If you don't have a color printer, your local copy shop will print it for you for about 50 cents.
Thank you again for supporting Okami on the Wii and look here for more updates should the need arise.
Like I said, Capcom is an awesome company, which is proven by the fact we all get -two- covers. I did, however, apply for both of the new ones, so I wonder how they'll decide which one I get...
