TGS: PS3 game case revealed

by Ross Miller on Sep 22nd 2006 3:25AM

To the right of a long wall of playable PS3 demos (and a few trailers running on PS3s), Sony had on hand two PlayStation 3 units encased in cylindrical glass. Unlike previous viewings, this time Sony showed off what we presume is the final case design for its PS3 games.

The two cases shown were for Grand Turismo HD and Heavenly Sword. The case designs were identical to what IGN reported about a few weeks back. However, both their mockup and ~~our~~ my speculation were off regarding the outside shell, which is translucent and features only a tiny Blu-ray engraving in the top-left corner of the box.

More pictures of the cases after the break.

the case does not look good just plane...boring like when you look at the case your like i dont wana play this. But if you look at the WII and 360 case its like SUPER COOL for WII and 360 YEA LETS PLAY A GAME but this thing is like i have the best graphics and everything but everything else is boring dont play the game. And the games arent good either

While I will agree with others when saying that the box art is a minor deal--people who buy game consoles don't buy it solely for the design and cover art of games--I do say that SONY should've followed through with the PS3 cover art looking very similar to the PSP's. The PSP logo appears at the top of the box art, without any gaps, and it makes the cover look quite sexy, no matter what the game is. The PS3 cover art looks okay, but SONY should've made the PSP and PS3 nearly one. Anyone who has one should get the other.
