Which console has the better looking box art? We are judging off of both the PS3 and 360's NEW boxarts, not the old ones. We all know the old PS3 boxes were ugly as sin, personally I think the new PS3 boxes destroy the competition.

PS3:

Greatest Hits:

360:

To be fair to 360, there isnt that many titles out that sport the new design, however I still like it. At first I hated it (I also hated the PS3 box redesign at first) but they both eventually grew on me and game boxes started comming out that made it work.

Now, here are the actual packshots:

And here is an actual copy of Madden 11 for both platforms:

Personally, i like the PS3's clear casing better then 360's green casing if I had to choose, but its hard to say because they BOTH look good, and they BOTH sort of compliment eachother in your collection. I wouldnt reall say one is BETTER than the other, just different. But I would pick the PS3 ones if a choice had to be made.

I prefer the 360 boxes mainly because of the size, and it doesn't have the ugly clear plastic on the top. The new 360 design though is kinda meh, so just by art PS3

It goes PS3 first, the clear and black is definitely the best looking, plus it's smaller. Then the Wii with it's simple white, and last is 360 with that butt ugly lime green.

PS3 all the way. I dont like the 360 box at all. Since not everything goes with neon green or just green and the big logo. Also I dont like how big the box is. PS3 box is clear and black and the majority of the time it matches with the boxart of the game. To me game box wise is PS3,wii,360. I didint put PC cause I dont see much PC boxes to judge.

Wii's boxart >Silenthps

This. Mostly due to the fact that I can see myself admiring the discs for minutes straight. They're so creative and unique, and always go farther than just having "insert game title here.". It's the little things that make me happy XP

The PS3 cases/boxart look a lot better imo. I do really like Gears 2's boxart though, still isn't as good as U2's boxart.

You also forgot a certain console.

Platinum game boxes are ugly as ****.

But with regular titles, I prefer the design aesthetic of the post Slim PS3 boxart.

MGS4 was still one of the most amazing game box arts I have ever seen lol. And that was a feat given PS3s old crappy design. I remember going to gamestop a week before the game launched because I knew the guys who owned it, SOLELY so I could HOLD the box art a week before anyone else did. Serious, he took me into the back room and everything lol, and let me HOLD the regular and limited editions. Man, the night before MGS4 is the most hyped I have EVER been for a videogame release. Damn near couldnt sleep, felt like a kid again lol.

PS3's new boxart borders are just b-e-a-utiful. 360's boxart is ugly, plus, it takes away from the actual image. Wii's stuff is just a flimsy white DVD case. I HATE HATE HATE it...

so, PS3.

Unless we're counting Pc, in which case PC wins, barely.

I like the PS3's black strip on top if that's what you mean. The black on the PS3 boxes tends to look better with more games' boxarts than the 360's white.

For me it goes:

1.) PS3 - Love the clear case (artwork on the inside of the cover is nice). Plus it's more compact, which makes sense to me; bigger cases take up unnecessary space, but it's not a big deal at all.

2.) PC - Minimalist and easy to comprehend. More room for the art! Some boxes can be unfolded to show more art :P.

3.) Wii - The white looks pleasing and the title bar is clean.

4.) 360- Not a fan of lime green, especially not all over the place :(. I do like the new "swoosh" symbol atop the cover though :). They also feel pretty flimsy.

I like the PS3's the most. The green is ugly on the 360 boxes and I don't like the new... er... wavy thing. The Wii's is just plain old white, which is fine, just not very special, I guess.

Ok im getting confused we are just talking about the box itself right? Since some people are talking about actual boxart which is different. I just want my confusing to be cleared.

no to 360. that tone of green makes my eyes bleed. i like the PS3's, but the transparent top and the shorty size kinda annoy me... so i'll go with the wii, which wasn't even mentioned in the OP. shame on you.

PS3 all the way. I dont like the 360 box at all. Since not everything goes with neon green or just green and the big logo. Also I dont like how big the box is. PS3 box is clear and black and the majority of the time it matches with the boxart of the game. To me game box wise is PS3,wii,360. I didint put PC cause I dont see much PC boxes to judge.

This TC and the best boxart imo is MGS4 which is not included on that list :(.

MGS4 standard edition was horrible compared to other MGS games. MGS4 Limited Edition however.... is awesome.

One of the main reasons I bought the LE was the boxart. The normal boxart was boring.

I like the green boxes, so 360. PS3's look fine too, but I don't like the Wii's white boxes.
