yellowgerbil4628d ago

that PS4 box is really old school. reminds me of the PS1/PS2 with the big pictures of games. Remember back in the day, demo discs, man that takes me back.

Enemy4628d ago

They're both boxes that will meet the inside of my garbage bin on day one.

Wouldn't it make more sense to see how they're packaged inside? Lol.

slimeybrainboy4628d ago

Screw DRM, and launch lineups. I'm making my purchase decision based on the packaging.

Enemy4628d ago

My box has better lineup of image placement and composition!

YOUR MOVE!

Nitrowolf24628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

I still have my original phat PS3 box :)

Godmars2904628d ago

What. You don't recycle? A villain is you.

JKelloggs4628d ago

You throw them away?

I always keep boxes of every electrical purchase. Still got my PS2 one

kneon4628d ago

They can come in a brown paper bag for all I care, I haven't played with the box since I was 2 :)

Elwenil4628d ago

I still have my Genesis box, my Playstation box, two original PS2 boxes, a fat PS3 and a slim PS3 box. Somewhere I have a big box full of NES game boxes and Nintendo Power magazines, lol.

cleft54628d ago

What are you talking about friend, I still have my PS3, 360, PS2, Super Nintendo, and I think my Sega Genesis original box. You don't throwaway your console boxes friend. That is just wrong.

abzdine4628d ago

PS4 package is sexy and smaaaaaall! 50% raw power more, no power brick.

Fairchild Channel F4628d ago

@Nitrowolf2

I still have my original NES box :)

DatRealBoy4628d ago

I always save my boxes lol force of habit I still have the ps3 phat box and the slim uncharted 3 box

ThanatosDMC4628d ago

The Xbone box is all nice and classy... wonder if that's why it cost $100 more?

v6volume4628d ago

You don't keep the boxes?????

LoveGaming4628d ago

I know right, why in the world are people getting excited over a cardboard box....

YNWA964628d ago

Remember Atari St and C Amiga days, when they had pictures of the 20-30 games you got with it!

Retroman4628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

I still have my INTELLIVISION console box with "Burgertime" pictures.

Eonjay4628d ago

The things that stands out the most to me is just how damn slip the PS4 package is.

kickerz4628d ago

I like to keep the boxes and put things in them. Like CDs , Lego , cables lol and other things

thehitman4628d ago

Ouch so cold Enemey.. I still have my original 60gig ps3 box in my closet just cant bring myself to throw it out.

Thomaticus4628d ago

Not yet! Now we must admire the boxes!

crxss4628d ago

that's not even the ps4 box.... at least according to these pictures

@ crsxx
Those (first pic) are the mock-ups they've been using since announcement... the pic in the article is probably the real deal retail version. As for the unfolded, I don't know... maybe each region has different packaging.

On topic
I always keep mine... Yeah, they take up space in the attic, and are probably a fire hazard, but I can't bring myself to throw them away. Besides, you know how much more vintage consoles are worth with the original packaging?

Silly Mammo4628d ago

Funny, I'm getting the PS4 day 1, but I actually think the X1 packaging looks better. But since I don't play the packaging, it really has no relevance to me.

ZHZ904628d ago

PS4 box looks really cool. Looks like I'll keep it. :)

KwietStorm_BLM4628d ago

You throw them out? I recycle all my cardboard boxes, but all my video game console boxes are in the attic. Don't ask me why, they just are. Even my NES and 32X boxes are up there. Yea I had a 32X big whoop wanna fight about it?

ShinMaster4628d ago

I keep my boxes.
Comes in handy when moving.

UltimateMaster4627d ago

I like the PS4 Box art better.
Not only does it have a design art to it, but they show us what games you can play on it.
Isn't games an important part of your business?

sync904627d ago

I always keep the boxes. Hell, i've even got boxes in the attic for consoles i dont own anymore.

PiTCHBLaCK4627d ago

I Give all boxes to my kids, they take care of the rest!.

BoriboyShoGUN4627d ago

hell yeah I always keep my boxes too. Have the 360 MW2 box, the PS3 even the Wii boxes. In case you move or something BOOM perfect safe box for it :D

MRMagoo1234627d ago

actually i still have my original boxes from my ps, ps2 and ps3 all in my cupboard, i dont wanna chuck em away they hold memories, when i look at the boxes it makes me happy with nostalgia lol.

andrewsqual4627d ago

Launch line ups? I'd rather not be screwed over a few years down the line when a casual gimmick takes full priority over decent games which are really "games".

Ritsujun4627d ago (Edited 4627d ago )

You can see that the Xbone180's too scared to show itself, poor weak giant.

ohiostatesman4627d ago

The xbox one package looks so much better than the PS3 its unbelievable. The all black looks smooth and sophisticated. The PS4 boxing looks so childish in my opinion.

Seafort4627d ago

I'd advise any Xbone or PS4 owner to keep their boxes for a few weeks till you know the console isn't going to overheat while playing games :)

I can see another RROD fiasco happening if MS are being rushed to release :P

darren_poolies4627d ago

You don't keep the box?!!!!

UnHoly_One4627d ago

Wait till you guys have to move, then tell me if you are still keeping useless empty boxes from 10 and 20 years ago. lol

malol4627d ago (Edited 4627d ago )

the xbox one is dull and uninnovative, speaks of whats in the box.

Benchm4rk4626d ago (Edited 4626d ago )

@UnHoly_One

I've moved about 3 times in the last 4 years and I've still got boxes for my nes,snes,64,ps1, dreamcast,ps2, original Xbox, halo edition Xbox, GameCube, launch 360, slim 360, Halo 4 360, wii and phat ps3. Makes sense as when I move thats what I package the consoles in. My wife thinks I have a slight hoarding disorder lol

Daaaaamn i forgot all about pictures of videogames on the back of the box.

Thanks for the memory recall.

iamtehpwn4628d ago

While I prefer the outside of the Xbox One Box, I'd much rather have what's inside the PS4 box.

SlyGuy4628d ago

Those demo discs. I got hours of play time from them. lol.

yellowgerbil4628d ago

I would of never discovered MGS if it wasn't for a demo disc from playstation magazine.
great concept, digital stores have done away with them unfortunately :(

vigilante_man4628d ago

I like the all black look of the XB1 box even though I prefer the contents of the PS4 box!

ForgivenZombie4628d ago

Yeah, xbone box is nice, but I do like the old school look of Sony's box to.

InMyOpinion4628d ago

The Xbox packaging is obviously nicer (only a fanboy or a colorblind person stuck in the 90's would disagree).

Still getting a PS4, dirt ugly packaging or not. :)

Eddie201014628d ago

Here's a site with a better representation of the boxes without any bias.

http://www.gamingvlog.net/2...

scott1824628d ago

In that comparison the PS4 box looks better... LOL, this is ridiculous.

DigitalRaptor4628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

I know, ridiculous right? The article's images show the PS4 on its side.

The article you posted is a much fairer analysis. http://media.psu.com/media/...

Vibrant blue ftw!

2cents4628d ago

I prefer the X-Box lol

@enemy... lol

ovnipc4628d ago

Orignal PS3 box was the best of all, xbox 360 box when lunch was a green box with some circular lines nothing special. But xbox one box looks betters. PS4 box looks horrible, the console its sexy they should make the box a little more sexy.

Aceman184628d ago

Blue has always been my favorite color. Both boxes look really nice, but I'm more partial blue Lol.

bigfish4628d ago

that's it see, SONY are going back to video gaming roots with PS4 - what made video gaming so enjoyable in the first place.

bjmartynhak4628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

Demo discs! Oh how many times I played that Metal Gear demo!!

edgeofsins4628d ago

It also shows off how small the console appears to be and stocking up on them seems to be more efficient so stores can get more at once.

X-Alchemist4628d ago

This is just getting ridiculous now, comparing boxes really?

hiredhelp4628d ago

There's a reason why XBOX ONE has bigger box the reason is the Dam power brick im still confused by it.

xtremeimport4628d ago

a nice packaged device just smells of quality. So I believe it does matter. I pretty the Xb1 packaging over the Ps4. Just looks more sleek, But I prefer whats inside the Ps4 box more.

Bathyj4627d ago (Edited 4627d ago )

Its weird that the Xbone box looks better than the PS4 box cos it follows the the look of the console, yet the PS4 looks better that the Xbone. I just went crosseyed.

So i guess XBone looks good, for a box, and PS4 should have made a box that looks like a PS4. Probably hard to stack them with that tapered edge.

IRON883 4627d ago

Like holy crap were the hell is nov 15th already !!!!!! I need my ps4 now!!!!! Hopefully gta5 will hold me up till then

s8anicslayer4627d ago

I can't wait to smell them...I love the new car smell XD

CaJuaLFeatPuFF4627d ago

Definitely PS4.
Xbox one boxing looks like it saying "Cable Box INCOMING"

MikEyG4627d ago

You just made me feel all sentimental and s**t......thank you

Totoro174627d ago

I remember the back of my PS1 box...it was Battle Arena Toshinden, Ridge Racer, Madden, and I think Crash. Good times. Thanks for the flashback, gerbil :)

Tooly4628d ago

me either who you think goin win

Godlovesgamers4628d ago

Most of these people are so pathetic they would compare stool samples of the CEO's of these companies if given the chance and then somehow be able to add that info as to why their console of choice is better.

BallsEye4628d ago

With all the respect to ps4...packing looks like a toy from chinese market =/

MasterCornholio4628d ago (Edited 4628d ago )

Technically both of them are toys from China. Well at least half of the PS4s are from China while the other half come from Japan.

http://media.psu.com/media/...

http://www.blogcdn.com/www....

P.S In my opinion they both look good but its the inside that matters the most to me which is why im going with the blue box.

Hicken4628d ago

First, you have no respect for the PS4.

Second, it looks like the console boxes of old. In other words you're saying the older consoles all looked like Chinese market toys.

BallsEye4628d ago

Ow I do have respect for ps4, like I do have respect for every gaming machine. I own more gaming machines in my collection than you ever will. Yea, I earn money and invest in my hobby. I just hate sony community on this site. It's so low...

Godlovesgamers4628d ago

"Respect" for the PS4? What hell is wrong with you, seriously? We're talking about a consumer entertainment product, not power tools, firearms or even the Law.

What are you, Sony's indentured servant/slave?

Gotta try harder. Your own logic can be used against you; your stance is hypocritical.

jatakk4627d ago

Haha, respect for a f-ing toy.. you are too funny!

Hicken4627d ago

@Godlovesgamers: Guess you were too busy making yet another pointless comment to realize that BallsEye was the first one to start talking about "respect" for the PS4.

Personally, I don't care whether he "respects" it or not. But given his comments, it's evident that he doesn't, which makes him a liar.

Oh, but I forgot: MS fans don't mind being lied to. Guess it's no surprise they don't mind lying, either.

I have more interested on how they will burn and such after i take out my system. I need something to start a fire, when winter shows up.

GreenRanger4628d ago

Next they'll compare the smell of the game boxes.

Otoshigamisama4628d ago

Lol they'll compare the workers first then the smell of the boxes.

MineHaxx4628d ago

Right.
For example:
Hmmm..This smells like a Homemade Ass Shampoo.
Oh!And this one smells like poop.

Cacabunga12d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot11d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose12d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE12d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername11d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy12d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde12d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8612d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8612d ago (Edited 12d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300012d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle12d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7712d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
