Does it bother you guys that every audio CD has a different spine?
Audio CDs? What are those? :P
They're this cool lossless format that usually comes with a nice art book and sometimes lyrics and other stuff. :P

Those are the ones that self destruct with use, but they're pretty cool too. :wink:

Since I started boxing up my cartridge games using The Cover Project, I've developed a love of having the system name on the top of the spine. Lets me glance at my games and have a vague idea of what I'm looking at. Irrational, yes, but there you have it :)

So very glad The Cover Project has most of them redone in the new style that I can print out and replace (just slipping them in over the old covers, not actually hurting the old covers, don't worry) and get some uniformity with my games.
I'm indifferent between the two, I just hate that Sony changed the spines midway through. Same with the PSP.
I like the newer style because I feel they're more like the PS1/PS2 spines -- uniformity is the name of the game.

I have very few PSP games, so I don't think I've ran into the old style yet, but I'll just update them when I do :)
Are you going to go back a redo them all again to this style?

Ugh, they're updating it a third time? I will likely not, I really like the 2nd style (the grayish spine), but we'll see what the future brings.

They changed the spine on a few titles but everything I see coming out still the second "PS3" spine. The last 5 or 6 releases all had the second spine.

I actually don't care for either of the newer PS3 spines; I prefer the horizontal original. I just think it had more personality, and I like it when packaging tries to set itself apart, as long as it isn't obtrusive.
