I fuking hate that they changed the boxes, ruins the whole look if you have a sizable collection.

We should start a thread where we scan the old covers full qual, then pshop in the new banner so other cats can print them out and have nice, uniform, collection. Unfortunately I'm a junior :(.

Picked-up Uncharted 2. Something looks off.
I don't know if I'll get use to the new PS3 box covers.

New boxes look much better. The random red in the spine was always an eyesore, not to mention the way "PS3" was written was tacky.

I quite like the new covers, but they should have kept the spine the same. Tempted to reorder my collection from alphabetical to chronological.

Did I get a good deal?

There's very little info on this thing. I only found out about it due to Retronauts and Jeremy hadn't even herd of it before that podcast.

The Wiki article says these are rare and sell for hundreds of $'s but I'm not so sure if that's true or not.
 
Seriously? You guys actually care that there's a black thing that says PS3 on it instead of a red thing says PS3 on it? It's a fucking game box for god's sake, you're not hanging it on your wall or something.

If it didn't matter then why would they have bothered to change it in the 1st place?



IIRC the PS2 didnt changed cased design mid gen, but with the PS they went through 2 or 3 types of cases before landing on the CD box.

Some people like uniformity, and do actually have them hanging on shelfs on the wall...

I dont think anyone is arguing that the older design was better - it wasnt. Rather, I think people just hate how it fucks up the spines now.

I think they do look better. Uncharted 2 does stick out like a sore thumb on my rack though.

Holy shit I want that blob.

The blob is one of the cooler pre-order bonuses I can remember (it's just a stress ball, but it's so perfect for this game).

Unfortunately, my pit-bull also loves it...he's tried to steal it from me all day. Dude would tear it apart in seconds. :lol

Because their marketing and packaging was shit and they're finally wising up. =P

Is UC2 the first title with the new spine?

I saw Sing It: Pop Hits on the shelves last week and it had the new box style, so I think it was technically the first...but it probably shipped around the same time UC2 did, but wasn't held for street date like UC2.

I agree with you, but I hate that they changed the style mid generation. It looks horrible now, and they should have just stuck it out for the rest of the gen. They could have at least left the spine alone, or at LEAST kept the line separating the logo and title of the game in the same spot.
 
Damn I want the Japanese Okami. >_< Capcom if you're listening I will seriously purchase it again if you release Okami Wii+ in English!

Wonder if I can remember enough about the game to play through the JPN one in Japanese.

I have tickets to the NLCS games. I don't feel like going so I'm probably going to sell it to co-workers or something.
