Sony took care of the "sandwich time" issue and good for them. I never feel like I'm waiting for anything on the PS4

My PS4 and I are ready.
I so wish they'd use this. Totally wonderful. I still don't like the beanie!

Notice any improvements versus what? How could you compare disc load times vs HDD load times if they never allow you to play game of disc.
If you are talking about generation over generation, considering that last gen consoles had 512MB of ram and now you are dealing with 8 GB of ram, if loading times are the same then that means there is an improvement.

MAJOR LOL. Thanks.
I wonder what a PS4 exclusive sandwich would be like...Preorder for in game ham dlc?
Anyways, 24gb is fine for me. Anyone got luck with any 1.5 tb hard drive or 2 tb hard drives (if they're supported or available yet?) I plan on upgrading sometime in the summer.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I thought all PS4 games installed?
The big deal is that we ain't got no time to make sandwiches now!
Really? I legit never really noticed.
Was gonna say the same. One of those "looks cool" kind of things that doesn't really say much about the game. The boxart is fine in my eyes.

24gb is small, comparatively.
And unless something changed, this should be the download size. There hasn't been a disc based game yet that hasn't installed the entire thing to the HD. The speed difference pulling data from the HD vs the blu ray is pretty huge. Why bottleneck the data that far out?

Weren't there a handful of cross-gen titles that listed a very small install size? like that NBA game or something? I recall hearing something to that effect on Giant Bombcast.

Will I be able to preload this if I go digital? I was thinking about just getting it on PSN but 24GB will take me a long time to download on my connection, probably a few days with how it's been cutting out if that persists. So I'd rather dl it before it's out so I don't have to wait when it is.
Which I HATE. Why do people like that? Makes your shelf look like a mess, and smushing logos that were never meant to go onto spines onto spines looks bad and is hard to read.
If I was in charge, we do things the proper way like Japan does: black text on white background. (The white text on black background here is a good second choice.) Cover art should look attractive; spines should be functional and do their job.
i like the illustrated look
I like the idea, but the colors literally look like shit

being such a comic book head, it's always disappointing seeing video games shy away from having standout hand painted or drawn boxart covers. nothing is cooler than getting a comic and seeing the awesome cover art done by the books illustrator as a representation of the products tone and story. video games sort of shit on the actual game by lazily slapping together some bad photoshop trying to appeal the ever short attention spanned "dude bro". i remember Kevin Levine in an interview saying he wanted to give his staff the best chance to see their work appreciated by using a somewhat generic and uninspired boxart cover to attract that casual dude bro gamer. but in the end i wonder how well that worked out in actuality, aside from the controlled focus group 2K used to come to that conclusion in the first place about what boxart should be used. you always see this fantastic concept art done by these amazing artists for games, yet the publishers never or rarely allow these artist to make a truly standout boxart cover. i think Halo 4 was a great example of how you can take a fps and go after a wide audience of gamers but still deliver a box art that is very representative of the quality of craftsmanship put into the game. it still featured a guy on the cover holding a gun, but the color scheme and scope of everything on the cover was so much more than that. here's to hoping Sony has a different boxart cover for the NA market.

Do the French/German/Spanish (and so on) versions have localised titles? If so then that's probably the reason.
Even if that is the case, though, it's still fucking shit. Thank god most third parties ditched that shit on the PS3, though there's still the odd stupid one that slips through (KH1.5, for instance).
The Special Edition? Nah, fuck that. Fucking hate SCEE's cardboard cover bullshit. Seems like the most unreliable and easiest to break case they could possibly come up with.
Pretty confident that's the reason. It's not that every game title gets localized in EU, but when it does, it's easier to just type it in rather than create a custom "logo" for the spine.
They also use generic font for not localized titles for consistency reason.

That's an awfully generic back cover.
