For reference, here's a good compilation of the other games competing for it's attention on the shelf.
See this is why I think the white one would be better.. So many of those boxes have so much going on them.. With the white one, you see a rabbit and a dog holding massive guns.. nothing else, but that is an unusual image and you would think people would pick it up and wanna read the back.. the yellow one sam and max get a little lost for me.
i dont llike the yellow one personally, but the white one i love, it makes sam and max themeselves stand out alot, and it instantly grabs the buyers attention, especially if the buyer never seen sam and max before. The white one will also go with the rest of the case, considering the case is white, and alot of other areas on the case are white, itll make it stand out so much better and makes the game alot more appealing to pick up and read the back to find out more.
The yellow one, i dont know, i really dislike it, it doesnt make it stand out at all, and it makes it not very appealing to pick up and find out what the game is about, also it doesnt make sam and max stand out at all, making the game blend in with the rest of the games on the shelf.
Also remember not everyone has seen sam and max so you want something bold and the main characters to stand out, to stand out from the rest and to catch the browsers eye.
I would be disappointed if the yellow one was the chosen colour, and if it was chosen ill go to the effort of going somewhere to get the white one printed

The white, because first it's a Wii Edition, and the whole Wii communication is white, because then Max is yellow-lightned, and because I d'ont like the way Max's butt is shining on the yellow one, the flare is too strong to me ^^
From the replies that I've been reading, everyone has made valid points when it comes to both covers. I found myself agreeing with most of them, therefore making it difficult for me to decide! But in the end, I voted for the yellow cover. Why? It catches my attention more than the white cover does... But that's just me.
I'd like the white better if the gray spiral were more noticeable... but otherwise I chose yellow.
Edit: After coming back a second time to look at it, I find myself preferring the white one. It just looks more like a Wii game case.
I picked the white one even though i wasn't blown away with either one.
I still think if the background was a green swirl and the title was a orange it would look alot more appealing. (IMO)
I liked the yellow yesterday, but this morning I woke up and realised I preferred the white. Don't know why, but there you go.
I think if the lens flare or whatever it is was toned down on the yellow cover, it'd help a lot though.
The yellow is a bit nauseating, and the lens-flare blocks Max out too much for my liking, but i still prefer it over the white one. The Wii loves being white, and so it looks generic.
Sam & Max are anything but.
hmm, the white one looks more wii-ish...but the yellow one a bit more dynamic. i can't decide. couldn't you have the yellow one as the standard package and the white one when it is re-released as bargain-version? or vice versa...

I really like the yellow, but I think it would look a lot better if Max was whiter so he'd stand out a little more. The white looks very nice, too, but, as some have already stated, it doesn't really fit Sam & max.
I pick the white cover -- provided that the blue spiral winds up looking more visible on the print than it does on my monitor. It's a really close call, but the white one does have the advantage of Wii brand recognition, and it does "pop" a little more. The yellow one is nice, but I guess it's sort of in-between the two extremes of having a very detailed cover and a very simple cover. But in this case, extremes are good.
By the way, I don't think what's on the yellow box qualifies as "lens flare" -- that implies some diffraction effects caused by a bright light, including light circles and rainbow-looking stuff. This is really just a bright light.

I actually think the complete opposite.
What he said.
But im still not quite sure.....

It's my favourite colour ^_^
Wow, eyes like a hawk this one.
In all seriousness, I prefer the white one. I find the shade of yellow used in the other one a bit... nauseating.
Sam & Max are anything but.
milk the audience for all they've got?
*Equally crude rebuttal here.*
The yellow box looks great, though. So I like it better.

But 75% of Wii games have-- oh.
It also fits in the season's rainbowy theme
