PlayStation 3 will have a new makeover, in terms of game box design.
Sony has plans to redesign the current PlayStation 3 game box art to match the look of its predecessors, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. This revelation came via the release of the box art for Deception IV: Blood Ties, which Sony sent out last week. IGN contacted the publisher who confirmed the design change, the first change in about five years.
The cover art for the PS3 version dispenses with the familiar black label 'PS3" design common since 2009 in favor of a new blue label. The new blue label mimics the common PS4 box art design and is similar to the Vita's box art.
This is not a one-off or secondary design. According to IGN, "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 the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita."
Though the design change is likely to irk many collectors, this would be the second time that Sony fundamentally changed the box art template for PS3 games. Many will recall the original design fully spelled out "PlayStation 3" in a design that was featured on case of the original PS3 and also Sam Raimi's Spider-Man movie trilogy design logo.
So PlayStation goers what do you think of the new redesigned logo?
