Ironman273 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 And The PS3 Box Redesigns Commence By Luke Plunkett, 8:00 PM on Fri Sep 4 2009 With a new PS3 comes a new PS3 logo, and with a new PS3 logo comes a new PS3 box. And a new PS3 box means all the cover art we've seen for upcoming games needs to be changed. First off the blocks is Uncharted 2. Old art on the left, new one on the right. Note the art itself hasn't changed, and probably won't for other games in this situation. Still, the new box is definitely an improvement. Getting rid of that "PLAYSTATION 3" spine down the side certainly gives the art some room to breathe. Source: Kotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Nice... Never liked the bar on the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0mbi Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Same here, that bar on the side was piontless. How many times do you want to put Playstation on the front cover :p geez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+virtorio MVC Posted September 5, 2009 MVC Share Posted September 5, 2009 I greatly prefer the old logo/box-style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayepecks Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Looks better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjak Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Looks "fresher", but the PS3 logo seems too big... The game title should always be the biggest text on the box - that's something the old style box design did well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy0 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I think if they made the top bar on the new art a lot smaller, I would like it a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Looks a lot better, not fond of the PS3 logo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScorpioRGc1 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I like the old version a bit better, mainly because I liked the old logo (particularly it's font) better. Eh, still, the new one is nice enough, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Caro Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I can understand that the art changes. But why is the age rating different? or is RP "rating pending"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoL Veteran Posted September 5, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 5, 2009 I think if they made the top bar on the new art a lot smaller, I would like it a lot more. Yeah I agree. I like it but that bar smaller would be better. Too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Hussain Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 the inside of the box needs to change, the little clips holding the books in place need to be on the opposite side. otherwise the booklets slide out when you're closing the box into the fold and it just damages the books.

Tech Star Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I can understand that the art changes. But why is the age rating different? or is RP "rating pending"? It changed because "RP" is "Rating Pending". So now its officially rated T for Teen. Which I really don't think anyone cares about the ratings when buying games in here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-99 ODST Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Both seem fine to me but I keep thinking Sony is trying to copy Microsoft's bar on the 360 by placing it on top. I personally don't mind at all but it leads me to that feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely forgot about PlayStation 2. I never owned one which is probably why it slipped my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frog-77@psn Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 It's a goddamn box, why do you people care so much? "Oh i dont like the" yadda yadda... Grow up and play the damn thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phemo Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Had to. Preference? Either, it's the gameplay that counts. But this topic was about the box designs. If people wanted to talk about the gameplay they would've done so in gameplay threads. If you have a problem with people discussing box designs then don't read the thread, pretty simple.

If you have a problem with people discussing box designs then don't read the thread, pretty simple. I sent my input, like everyone else (including you). My opinion was that both designes looked equally appealing but it didn't matter... What will change with the new box? The game inside is still the same and it wont convince people to buy it just because the playstation logo moved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh400 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Still too much crap for my liking. I would much prefer something like this... The PS brand is known worldwide. You say PS3 everyone knows what you mean. Free up the space for game art, and only have the essential stuff on the front (ratings and such).

Brad. Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm glad you bumped this and kinda weirded out. 20 mins ago I realised my FIFA 10 boxart has this "new" design whereas games newer than FIFA 10 that I own don't :P odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
