Sony Changing Playstation Box Art

Sony Changing Playstation Box Art

If you have not noticed already it appears that Playstation have took a new creative look to their box art, as you can see from the upcoming PS3 and Vita image of Deception IV: Blood Ties above. As you can see it is a little bit different to their usual box art.

As it turns out, this is no accident or one-off. We reached out to Sony to see if this will be a trend moving forward, and it will. All forthcoming PlayStation 3 software will tote a similar look, one that brings PS3 game boxes in line with the already-established look set by PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.

PS3 box art had its last fundamental change back in 2009, around the time the PlayStation 3 “Slim” launched. Before the change, PlayStation 3 software came packing the “Spider-man” text similar to that emblazoned on PlayStation 3 “Fat” consoles, along with a red tag on the spine. This new iteration of PS3’s box art, rolled out very late in its lifecycle, seems to change nothing other than the color on the blue band, and is otherwise virtually identical to PS3's box art dating back to mid-2009.

So, don’t be confused when you start seeing these new boxes on store shelves at your local retailer, or at your online retailer of choice.
