Looks that way.

What do you think? Ignoring the art itself and just concentrating on the "basic" box design, like the PlayStation-logo bar now located to the left side of the box and not at the top? :)

I think it looks pretty good. Not sure if I like the position of the bar though, I think it should stay at the top or maybe the bottom.

somehow the design reminds of the early era like Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Turbo Graphix, even PC CD-ROM boxarts for games which I like...

I think it looks alright. The font kinda bothers me a bit because it looks to Spiderman like. Eh, we\'ll see. I also think its IGN mockup.

The layout and design are legit.

The actual game looks mediocre (imo)

The actual game artwork looks tacky

BR cases look pretty cool

yea get rid of that spider-man font...and i feel the playstation 3 on the left side in general looks like it\'s from the 1st psx games,..maybe they need to switch it to the right or the bottom...and the art itself is mediorce....

I guess Sony run out of ideas on what fancy font to use for their ps3...so, they just borrowed/stole the spiderman font.  It does looks better than the original playstation font imo.  But, since spiderman already used this font, I can see why many people doesn\'t like it to be use on the playstation as it\'s unoriginal...

Kinda late getting rid of the Spiderman font now, wouldn\'t you say? ;)

I expect the retail boxes to look something like this.

Basically a Blu-Ray box but the plastic being black instead of blue, and the Blu-Ray logo replaced with the PS-family logo.
