it looks like its just mostly release date, prices, and product descriptions like fat pack, booster pack, event deck, ext. i doubt there is anything all too interesting in the text.

Ah, that's too bad. Thought it would say something interesting.
I use the Duels Of The Planeswalkers layout, though I'm right-handed and keep my deck and GY to the left. I dare you to ask me how tempting it is to hold flying creatures in a floating pattern over the table.
Yeah, the picture's too low a resolution to be able to blow it up and read the intro pack names and so forth. Unless there's a bigger, more detailed version out there on the Intarwebz somewhere, I doubt we're going to be able to get much more out of it.
I'm having trouble telling if the RG intro pack's card art is the Devil/Hellhound piece we've already seen or not. It looks similar, but looking at them side by side this art has a bright spot in the corner not present in the devil piece. Also, it would have to have been mirrored, which seems unlikely. I'm assuming this is a different card, hopefully a werewolf.
I think I'm most excited to see what the blue card is. It's definitely not anything dead, but looks like a creature, which interests me. (Has there been a noncreature Intro Pack foil thus far?)
1º The art of the second booster isn't Kiaora?
2º Weerewolf event deck
The art on the second intro deck seems to be a human ranger type creature with a shield that looks like they're about to strike something. The black and blue one seems to be a bust shot of a what looks like a legendary creature, ala Jor Kadeen, The Prevailer.

Nah, while I can't say anything for the intro packs, I assure you that the Hellhound-Rider is one of the theme decks. Frankly, I'm anxious to finally get some cards confirmed, hopefully we get some soon.
This is responding to luminum, btw, forgot to quote.

So what is Garruk saying in the box on the right hand side or is just more advertising?
It's site advertising for Innistrad (i.e. "Here's a picture of Garruk you know and love. Now go and buy some Innistrad while you wait for DKA").
Same with the well-known M12 Super-Friends poster above it, which is advertising M12.
EDIT: Check that - the top one literally just reads "Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012", now that I've bothered to read it fully. The yellow text below Garruk talks of buying Innistrad booster packs as presents.
Something worth noting is that at this point we can safely say the original sneakpeek artwork of Sorin from DA's announcement won't be his Planeswalker card artwork (assuming he gets one, which is a safe bet). It'll more than likely be the one in the background of that poster that was spoiled previously. Fatpack and packaging art are almost never used for cards in set.
It was also interesting to see the Event Decks there along with intro packs and booster art, those usually come through later. Looks to me like a Green/Red deck is one of those, the other might be U/B/W but I really can't make it out.
edit:
Also the presence of enemy coloured Intro Packs leads me to think that when Maro said Innistrad wasn't about enemy colours he was talking about Innistrad the set, not Innistrad the block. Plenty of use for the Duals post Dark Ascension I'd say.

The colors of the intro decks don't mean much with regard to the presence of enemy-color themes in the set, block, etc. Unless you'd also argue that the enemy-color intro packs in M11 were hinting at an enemy color theme, too.
Remember how he also said that there was originally no plan at all to have enemy-color duals in Innistrad until it got to development? That wouldn't make sense if there was a plan to have an enemy-color theme in the very next set.
Eh, so that Sorin artwork we've been seeing ends up being yet another fatpack art? A shame; I'd like that one for the card, but then again, we haven't seen the full view of this one.
The precon colors appear to be WR, GU, RG, BW, and UB.

My werewolf deck is DEFINITELY getting a sick boost from this set...

2º Weerewolf event deck
Cant seem to spot Kiaora though... Where exactly?
As pointed out in another thread, one of the event decks has the Devil riding the Hell hound art on the front...

The only one I'm aware of is Overwhelming Stampede in the M11 GR intro pack.
