Ok. Seriously.



Ignore the image. I don't give a shit that it's generic. What bothers me is that they're using that terrible fucking Blu-Ray packaging for games. I've seen HD-DVD and Blu Ray discs on the shelves. They're fucking horrible. They get in the way of fun. Rounded edges? Oh come the fuck on. Maybe slightly beveled like the current stuff, ok, but the new shit is just atrocious.

Sony, you're on notice.

Goddamnit.

The Playstation 3 logo on the side looks exactly like the Spider-Man movie logo.

That's how it looks on the PS3 itself as well.

Hmm...Oh well. It's not a horrible idea, I guess.

Gotta agree on the Blue-Ray logo though.

The rounded edges? Not so much.

That doesn't look so great, I don't like the powder blue, or the font, or the blu-ray logo.  I don't particularly care that they rounded the corners though.

So they aren't updating the rainbow colored Playstation logo?

That was just what I was going to say. My mind actually thought for a split second that it said spider-man.

Well, they're wanting to push Blu-Ray...

Yeah, this is all about shoving Blu-Ray down your throat until you are assimilated. Rounded edges? Might as well just make them clamshell cases.

Well, it's important to note that HD-DVD has rounded edges also. Sony has always been about branding. But really, the core design. The core fucking design. I don't know if you've seen one of these cases in real life. But it's fucking gnarsty. More than that, they don't stack next to eachother correctly. When I said that this is nearly enough to keep me from buying a PS3 altogether... I wasn't fucking kidding. Oh, the material is also flimsy and cheap. Worst packaging since the early Warner Brothers DVD stuff.

Why would they not stack well next to eachother? Only the corners are rounded, right? So all of the sides are still flat?

I intendo to take a trip to Best Buy and see for myself, rather than asking for a text description.

So is the IGN.com logo on the blade because you stole the pic from IGN and they were being 'creative' or has SOE taken to on-the-cover advertising?  How soon until we get big Coke, Mountain Dew and/or Match.com logos across the various characters clothing?

Who doesn't love cardboard DVD cases crushing each other into uselessness, even when stacked vertically on shelves?  Who?

oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer
