Thats pretty pathetic..
They\'ve just taken a PS2 cover.. Pasted the ulgy Xbox logo...
HAHA :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
Oh well.. :shy: :rolleyes: :hat: :fro: :nerd: :thepimp:
-
*Sigh* What are you talking about? They both come in DVD boxes last I looked.
-
Quit spewing garbage, fatson. It\'s been known for quite some time now that Xbox games would come in a DVD box.
What would you expect them to do? :rolleyes:

Talking about the picture, not the box. Yes it is a shame, they should be more creative and have a little bit more added to distinguish it from the PS2 counterpart.
-
They took the exact same DESIGN and STYLE..
Thats how original Microsoft can get..
LMAO!

What are you talking about? The box it self is a DVD case with the Xbox logo and an ERSB rating... beyond that everything is FOX\'s design.
-
It\'s just the same as CvsSNK2 having the same box art for the Dreamcast and PS2 version. There is no reason for it to be different.
-
You dont understand what Im saying..
Look at one of your PS2 boxes..
See where it says PLAYSTATION2?? (white text with blackbackground)
Looks like MS just took a PS2 cover, and pased the Xbox logo over the PS2 text..
Im talking about the layout.. (PS2 and Xbox covers almost look the same in layout.. Soon we cant see the diffrance between the boxes..(AND im NOT talking about the picture of Homer and Bart..))
I think Troglodyte is the only one that understands. Dont ya mate? ;) :D

Sure do. I\'m sure it makes production cheaper. You think they could come up with something different. Something that says:
"Sure it\'s on PS2, but look! I\'m different! And better!."
Instead it just says:
"Look, I\'m a port from PS2, I am a clone, a copy, un-original."
That\'s a big bleh on xbox.
How hard could it possibly be to change the box-art?
Sheesh!
I think it would be cool if xbox did a hologram type thing. You know, you lean it to the left you see the cover of the game, you lean it to the right and you get a big "X" or something.
That would be cool.
-
Yeah.. Change the top of the box..
At least have the logo at the bottum.. Or a "desgused" X in the background..
Something like this!

So you at lest could see a diffrance..
-
So you were *****ing about the same designs?
Now that\'s just retarded, though it\'s certainly expectable coming from a major fanboy like you faston.
Is Microsoft making this game? NO. So how can you blame them for stealing the same design when they\'re not making this game? You must be a retard. EA is the one behind the design for BOTH versions, Microsoft had nothing to do with this.
This has got to be one of the stupidest topics ever. Bravo faston for demonstration fanboy stupidity at it\'s best. Take a bow.

Geez, look at Sony copying Sega\'s box design.

That\'s a big Bleh on Sony\'s part.
HAHAHA
Oh well. :rolleyes:
Does Sony pay to be this loyal, fastson?

only a full-blown playston mark would pay this much attention too so little detail. Geesh what are you going to say next....they copied black cords,black console, and a black controller.
-
Wow, a lot of you have completely misunderstood.
Nobody ever said that PS2 created the DVD box. I don\'t know where you people came up with that.
AlteredBeast understands. We\'re talking about the "PS2" bar at the top of the box. Xbox put/copied their bar in the same position.
As Altered said. The PS bar was put/copied in the same place as the SATURN bar.
Now that I think about it. IT\'s probably so that stores can use the same style display cases to house the games. Easily identifying which ones belong to which system. Probably done that for the consumer too. Now we know to check that location of the box to see which console it\'s for.
It\'s a design for the lazy sure, but people are lazy, so it works.
-
Ok.. I give up..
First of all..
Microsoft decides where to put the Xbox symbol.. Just like Sony does with the PS2 brand..
FOX only design the Bart&Homer pic..
I think MS should make another layout..
AB: Those has the same chape.. Not the same look.
SEGA box is white..
PSX box black..
If you look at the PS2 vs Xbox box you can see that MS uses the same type of layout.. I think if they really put their minds to it they could make something that looks much cooler..
-
Both of the names are at the left.
they were both in special large cases.
Of course Sony has done no wrong, though. After all, they are Sony!
praise Sony!

-
I cant see if the SEGA case is just like the PSX one.. With some grid with on the left side..
I have never seen that PSX-type box before.. We have the small (but fat) plastic boxes here.
-
This is stupid. They both come in DVD cases. Does it matter where they put the Xbox logo? On top ? On the left? So on and so on. NO! It doesn\'t.
Your disguised "X" in the background would not work. People would not realize it is for the XBOX. People are stupid, for the most part. So, they do it the safe way and the now standard way. Put it on the top of the box.
Its that simple.
Sheesh.
Though, I\'ll give you it looks like crap.
-
The background X idea would simply not be as effective as what they have now. Show me something that\'s both more effective and has never been done before, and I\'ll give you a cookie.
I wouldn\'t be surprised if Nintendo did the same (include their logo and such at the top of the case). They are using standard DVD cases afterall.
-
I liked the old school PS boxes. The ones with the plastic rugged edge and when you opened it up, there was a sweet backround under the disk and a huge instruction booklet with even more art behind that....how times have changed. Anyway, who cares if they "copied" the idea. If I was microsoft, i would be more worried about getting the system out with good games then spend a huge budget on designing a whole new box idea. who cares.
-
Its all about production simplicity and cost, pretty much the exact same design accept one image vs having completely different face designs.
-
Isn\'t that box just a mock-up? I thought it was, maybe I\'m wrong, but I don\'t ever remember hearing about XBox completed covers.

Yeah, I think it is too. Perhaps the \'real\' ones will look like that also, but I\'m not sure. I guess we\'ll just have to wait.... again.
-
Lord knows I won\'t buy any game that copies the cover art from another game, no sir. It\'s unamerican, says I.
-
2 words ( and some puncuation ):
WHO CARES??!?!?!??!?
-
basically, the xbox is just the result of sony ****ting themselves at the thought of sony controlling the gaming industry again.
i don\'t own any sony consoles, but i\'d definitely take ps2 over the xbox..
however, ms aren\'t really experienced in the gaming industry, so of course they\'d copy sony somehow..

:laughing: I DOn\'t know why but I find this Thread quite funny.
-
It\'s understood that the outside packaging is what grabs consumer\'s attention, but it\'s what is inside that is the most important thing, so the subject of this thread seems a little trivial. I don\'t think it\'s going to be that big of a deal with gamers, maybe just the ones that are looking to nitpick. Personally I wouldn\'t care if the games came in a brown paper bag with the name in front written in magic marker, I\'m going to be playing the disk inside not the box it came in.
-
*Yaaaawn*
Sony takes after Sega by releasing a black console.
Nintendo takes after Playskool by releasing a lunchbox.
MS takes after (Any electronic manufacturer) by releasing a VCR.
What a lame and pointless debate.
What\'s next? Whining and complaining about how Sony released their console in the Fall and MS and Nintendo are just taking after them?

yeah, and sony copied microsoft with the broadband and the harddrive. You are a twit, stop wasting time posting moronic messages to this board.

Microsoft steals everone\'s ideas...:rolleyes: Mostly Bill Gates...have you seen him talk at videogame conferences...? He looks like a turtle...
Sorry...:( I don\'t like Microsoft...
-
Who the hell does like Microsoft and why? I\'m not talking XBOX I\'m talking MS as a whole. There\'s nothing more annoying than a some highly-paid geeks telling you buy new stuff because the stuff you have "doesn\'t reach the full potential(experience) necessary".
