Everything That Is Wrong With The New PS3 Box Art. What It Shouldve Looked Like

It is just a damn shame, especially with how good the PSP game box arts always are, as well as the system packaging. Why did sony put so little effort into their PS3 box arts? This will forever boggle my mind.:cry:

The PSN logo should have "Playstation Network" in small text underneath the logo, with the logo bigger.

also, they should have incorporated the face button (triangle, square, ETC) embedded into the background in a watermark fashion, like the PSP voucher above does.

........................................................................

This is a bundle of the PSP. This box looks amazing. like it actually took time.

Look at how cheap and uninspired the PS3 box is compared to the PSP system packaging. You can tell the PSP marketing team put lots of time, money and effort into their box. That box makes me want to buy another PSP. That PS3 slim box is completely unenticing.

EDIT:

This picture above is a mock-up Ive made, based off of that GTpsp Voucher :D

Whatever, it's just the box.

probably to be proportionate to the blu-ray cases.

My only complaint with it is that the text is not centered, instead it rests on the bottom of the graidant bar leaving the top completely blank and blank. Centering would have made it much more appeallling

Again this is not centering like a paragraph center but moving all the text up a little bit so you don't have so much wasted space.

omg are people ill??? How about care whats INSIDE the box....not OUTSIDE of the box.

doesnt matter the ps3 is the best system with the best games and online thats free they can make the ps3 $599 again and have nothing but the title on the game box and it would still sell

people keep saying to focus on the inside of the box, but tbh I enjoy looking at boxart, its the part of the physical game media that attracts me the most. I enjoy it very much. I do agree on some aspects of the game box complaints too, mainly the fact that the upper bar is simply a gradient.

Yea man I agree. Sony should stop spending money on developing games and spend it all on making better looking boxarts.

Seriously whatever happened to dont judge a book by its cover?

It would sell ...Just a lot less then last gen+ waggle and a console which breaks every 10 minutes.

Very impressive ...

Damn. Is that the official Ratchet and Clank Future AT boxart? He looks amazingly hot.

Or they could ahve saved the 20 cents it took them to do this re-design, and spent nothing keeping it as it was.

Which was great btw

Damn that Ratchet Box Art looks sick

I usually don't comment like this, but wow you are really streatching it to find ways to bash the PS3...

I think the PS3 box art is fine, though I will agree that the PS3 Slim box art could use some work.

I just dont get how their marketing for the PS3 could be so bad, when the PSP and PS2 marketing was perfect.

i think people are too picky. does it really matter? as long as the games are good, it's fine. but yes, i prefer the second layout over the first. but i couldn't care less about it.SilverChimera

tbh, I dont think he is, I (and appaerantly him too) am very very observant and picky about my boxart, and I agree that this specific redesign does look LQ,

Whatever, it's just the box.

WOAH! is that the real box art for R&C!?

Wow, that means so little to me. If any consumer buys their product based on box art, they should probably just ave their damn money,

I'm so happy that all of you are sitting there staring at your gamecases instead of playing the actual game. Must be very exciting :roll:

:|..... really?

Am I only the only one who doeasnt care?bronxxbombers

omg are people ill??? How about care whats INSIDE the box....not OUTSIDE of the box.

Slow day my friend. Lack of AAAes can do that. DOn't worry though, NPD day will be here sooner are later. :P

I think the new box art looks great.

Also the system box will look better depending on what games come out in future bundles.

I like the black white and blue theme better

I like the new look of the boxes. Sony seems to be in stepping it up this year, and I think they are going for new changes. The lack of consistancy was most likely intentional

i dont see why they changed it at all tbh but its not a huge deal i guess

i don't care that ppl don't care about it, i agree with tc it's horrible. the way it was before was way better
