Kill it with fire!

LowEndTorque · (12-31-2011, 03:13 AM)

oh wow.

I'm swallowing back vomit @ that boxart.

Khold · (12-31-2011, 03:14 AM)

I can't wait for them to pack together a collection of collections!

Yoshichan · (12-31-2011, 03:14 AM)

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

ULTROS! · (12-31-2011, 03:15 AM)

Yo dawg....

Alaskanbullworm · (12-31-2011, 03:15 AM)

We now have a winner for the most amount of times "Playstation" or its logo appears on a boxart.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Normally, I don't care about Greatest Hit Box Art, but wow. No way I'd ever put those ugly cases in my collection.

ROBOKITTYZILLA · (12-31-2011, 03:16 AM)

*vomits*

Keyouta · (12-31-2011, 03:17 AM)

Who designs this stuff?

DMPrince · (12-31-2011, 03:17 AM)

smh konami.

Xena · (12-31-2011, 03:17 AM)

Seriously?

Eeeeewwwww.

funkystudent · (12-31-2011, 03:17 AM)

SCEE have gotten a lot better with many things but god damn it if they dont know how to ruin a box art with there yellow platinum boxes and ugly purple, grey or blue Bubbles on covers.

Net_Wrecker · (12-31-2011, 03:17 AM)

They put 4 box arts on 4 cases, on a box art on a case.

MY EYES ARE PUNCHING THEMSELVES

Jive Turkey · (12-31-2011, 03:17 AM)

That's a true work of art there. I love the statement it makes about the current state of art in the industry. Very avant garde.

MrTroubleMaker · (12-31-2011, 03:18 AM)

:O my eyes!

Shizzlee · (12-31-2011, 03:18 AM)

I laughed for a good minute looking at that. The title did not disappoint.

The Outsider · (12-31-2011, 03:19 AM)

Just looking at this makes me writhe in pain.

Seda · (12-31-2011, 03:19 AM)

Niro, you so hilarious

VanWinkle · (12-31-2011, 03:20 AM)

Hahaha, oh wow

SmithnCo · (12-31-2011, 03:20 AM)

That horrible yellow brings these to a new level of bad.

devilru · (12-31-2011, 03:20 AM)

I would actually buy that since i've only played U2

Kurod · (12-31-2011, 03:21 AM)

If I ever felt the desire to purchase one of those packs I'd flip that sheet around asap. Even if the boxart isn't reversible I'd just pen in the names.

baekshi · (12-31-2011, 03:21 AM)

how much is that in us dollars?

demosthenes · (12-31-2011, 03:22 AM)

They should sell this for $30 or $40 max. Start leveraging their old software and sell it for dirt cheap. Just get the games out there into ppls hands and playing them and they'll come around for more. It blows my mind that Sony with this first party lineup doesn't do this at all.

DMeisterJ · (12-31-2011, 03:22 AM)

KZ3 in a 'Best of PS3' pack? Uhhhhhhh...

purple cobra · (12-31-2011, 03:22 AM)

Wow, that's bad. So I guess Killzone 3 will be going Greatest Hits here soon in the US? I've come around to the red GH boxes. I got the Uncharted 1 & 2 GH dual pack as a gift and I thought the red cases would be an eye sore but they're not bad.

Especially compared to the horror in the OP...

subversus · (12-31-2011, 03:22 AM)

I see nothing wrong, looks like a pirate "ALL PRINCE OF PERSIA GAMES ON 1 DISK" dvd to me.

pieatorium · (12-31-2011, 03:22 AM)

Should have been Killzone thing in a tank top dropping his hankercheif to signal the start of a drag race between Kratos and Drake.

They do a lot.

Primarily by bundling everything constantly, or lowering to $20 and letting stores cut the price to half during sales, presumably taking the losses on their end.

Replicant · (12-31-2011, 03:23 AM)

We know you love platinum games so we've put platinums in our platinums so you can see how awful our photoshop skill is!!

Orayn · (12-31-2011, 03:24 AM)

Box bearing badges and borders boasts badged and bordered boxes.

VGChampion · (12-31-2011, 03:25 AM)

I was hoping for some godlike box art mixing all four games together.

I know they bundle a lot but it just seems like they're lazy about it. Even if it were digital only so they don't have to incur any costs to print the game and ship it. Hell, retailers won't even be mad b/c hardly any of them are selling them new anymore.

Symphonic · (12-31-2011, 03:27 AM)

I'm waiting for the imminent photoshop that makes it even more glorious ala Arkham Asylum.

Shepard · (12-31-2011, 03:27 AM)

The best part is that they even use the platinum covers instead of the original ones.

mj1108 · (12-31-2011, 03:28 AM)

Nice to see the interns at Sony finding a job to do.

Is this not something you were hoping for? I'm confused

Probably. It's been $19.99 on Amazon.com for a while. You should go ahead and pick up a copy before they change the box art.

The age rating is actually 52

It's a mathematical function.

(GoW3^Platinum + GT5^Platinum + KZ3^Platinum + UC2^Platinum)^Platinum = That abomination.

UraMallas · (12-31-2011, 03:29 AM)

I don't have any of those games and I want 3 out of 4. I would buy that. is it coming to NA, hopefully?

Cousteau · (12-31-2011, 03:31 AM)

Shoulda made it some type of grey or white or brown. Anything but yellow.

shintoki · (12-31-2011, 03:32 AM)

It shall be found next to shovelware you didn't even know existed and old copies of COD3.

Digishine · (12-31-2011, 03:32 AM)

SCEE doesn't have taste.

lol at 82 euro get the hell out. U can buy those game in their original cover + cheaper
