Know what I can't stand?

The red square with the PS3 logo on the spines of PS3 games.

ps3_game_cases_09_qjpreviewth.jpg


It's completely out of place, matches nothing else on the case, why was it added? Did they just let a 4 year old have a seizure on the keyboard with photoshop open when they came up with it? Why didn't they just slap the tried and true PS family logo on there?

I might be getting a PS3 soon, and this definitely doesn't alter my opinion of the system, but I display my games where all you see is the spine, and that red square is extremely annoying. Is there any place that prints custom sticker sheets so I could put a PS logo sticker on top?

Truly created just to mock me, just like the orange fret button.
 
Reminds me of a Seinfeld scene for some reason:

GEORGE: Let me ask you something. When you go into a store, does it bother you

that they make the security guard just stand there all day?

JERRY: No.

GEORGE: See, didn't bother Susan either. That's why I'm different. I can sense

the slightest human suffering.

JERRY: Are you sensing anything right now?

Wait....there was a Friends game? Really? FPS?

I didn't know about it either, and I can't quite read the title, but I'm assuming it's The One Where Phoebe Went to Raccoon City or something along those lines.
 
tank, load the jump program
i just wanna fly
put your arms around me baby
put your arms around me baby
i just wanna fly
into the distance
a ribbon of black
stretched to the point
of no turning back
a flight of fancy
on a windswept field
everybody out
what the heck?
only a precise hit will set up a chain reaction
the shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes
that's impossible, even for a computer
it's not impossible
i used to bullseye womprats in my t-16 back home
they're not much bigger than two meters
aaahhhhhh
awww
aaahhhhhh
*applause*
ugh
ohhhh
fly me to the moon
let me play among the stars
let me see what spring is like on
jupiter and mars
in other words hold my hand
come on
you don't what
we could find
why don't you come with me little girl
on a magic carpet ride
well, you don't what
we can see
why don't you tell your dreams to me
fantasy will set you free
run away, run away
purple haze
all in my brain
lately things, they don't seem the same
acting funny but i don't know why
excuse me while a kiss the sky
cleared for takeoff
transcom 4-7 heavy
woo hoo
when I feel heavy metal
woo hoo
and I'm pins and I'm needles
woo hoo
well I lie and i'm easy
all of the time
but i'm never sure why
i need you
pleased to meet you
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
oh yeah

So I'm guessing this bugs nobody else? What shit >:(

This bugs the shit out of me, but I have extreme OCD about stuff like that (I won't buy GH games since they don't match).

What bugs me more is the fact that the cases are oddly shaped with weird translucent plastic arbitrarily on top.

GRR!
 
I just don't see how this really bothers you so much?

This is why:

Sorry but when it comes to my game/DVD shelf, I'm extremely OCD. Other stuff not so much, but anything that sticks out on my game shelf I just can't stand (I took my Xbox games off of display because the green didn't match anything else on the shelf and stuck out really badly).

again, I never noticed.

I will say it was a mistake for Sony to go with Black/Red as their colors instead of Black/Blue.
Silliness aside, I agree. Sony was blue, Nintendo was red. Then Nintendo started using blue and Sony just rolled over and stuck with red.

They're just making the whole "Trading Places" thing way too easy for Nintendo.
 
I was just about to make a thread on how much I like it, but since you beat me to it, I'd just look silly now.

Long live the red emblem
 
So does Kinko's print sticker sheets of stickers the size of that tiny square?

Do you ever sit back and think how your life would be if you didn't go out of your way to make sad jokes at me in every other one of my threads? This personal grudge you have is older than my dead grandmother.

I just don't think anything will ever approach the old Master System boxes for worst video game boxes.
While the boxart sucked on SMS games I loved that the games had plastic cases and wished the NES had the same thing.

I didn't insult you? Since when do I have a personal grudge against you?
