Sony reveals PS3's 'Best' boxarts

Posted on February 5th, 2008 at 10:46 EDT

Sony Computer Entertainment Japan (SCEJ) has unveiled the boxart designs for its forthcoming PlayStation 3 ‘Best’ series in the region. Unlike the snazzy cover art of the previous generations hits from North America, the company has put out a similar choice of design to their last generation's version of their, “the Best” brand in Japan.

Five different titles have been chosen for this lineup, which includes Folksoul (Folklore), Ridge Racer 7, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Gundam, and Resistance: Fall of Man. It was kind of odd not to see MotorStorm meet the requirements to be considered one of PlayStation’s Best, but we’re sure it will be next in line.

Here are the cover arts for the first five titles being released:

"Unlike the snazzy cover art of the previous generations, the company has put out an odd choice of design to this generations version of their “Greatest Hits” brand." I don't understand this. This PLAYSTATION 3 the Best design doesn't look dissimilar to the PlayStation 2 the Best design. You're not comparing apples to oranges are you? PS3 the Best (JP) to PS2 Greatest Hits (US)?

Eww. Yellow and what's with making the art smaller?

That sentance that Fiddlesworth pointed out still doesn't make sense. From what I read your saying that unlike the NA boxart, they chose a similar design for JP? Condtradiction? And yeah, that yellow just looks awful, what's wrong with a good colour like silver or red?

I really hope that U.S ones are not like that. They should keep 'em similar to PS2 ones or go retro do it like PS1 with a green strip...

Hopefully Euro and USA versions will look better.

That's UGLY!!

They could've put silver/gray colors there, but that Yellow and White are just UGLY. YUCK!!!

I'd hate to have them on my shelf next to the black/grey cases....

Who cares what they look like? You are purchasing the game not the box art.

posted 4:26pm EST - February 5th, 2008

WTH, couldn't they make it silver or white or something. Yellow does not match any of the games or the PS3. Plus what is up with the wird "best" icon. Ewww. I'd rather have them in the original boxart.

That yellow looks like sh!t, why can't the sides be silver with black writing.  Secondly they have 'Playstation 3 the best' written twice.  Once at the top and secondly on the yellow circle.  You only need to say it once, I so hope that yellow thing is a sticker so it can come off.

Yellow is extreamly ugly but... yey for RFOM it deserved game of the year in 06'

This shows how big a difference there is between the Japanese and American market.  I doubt you'd find some of those games as "best" in the States.  Our tastes are way different.

They are also super ugly, white and yellow just says "crap on me please".

This artwork just looks terrible; it looks like it was designed by a blind child with arthritis. In a coma. Whoever chose the color scheme for this box was probably asked to do so at gun point, because I don't think it's possible to choose an uglier color.

posted 4:28am EST - February 6th, 2008

Errrr.... No.... I think it looks crap. They should have kept the original box art and made the writing of they playstation Logo in Gold  with maybe 5c gold stars at the bottom on the front or back cover. Something like that.

But hey if they do make it like that all around if it means the games are 50% cheaper i'll buy it.... But by then I'll own most of them already.
