Thank god they're getting rid of the "Xbox Live" logo on game boxes. It stopped meaning anything years back and now only means that said game exists.

 

[antiquegamer]

With some minor adjustments it could look good.

That look better, if all the rumor about the slim / natal box being black why they don't go black background behind the logo instead of white, maybe they just don't want it too look like the original Xbox box.

The 360 branding is circles.

 

[Diablohead]

The 360 branding is circles.

Did you see this on page 3 at all?

It also fits in with the wave name rumour.

 

[expy]

That's really pointless it doesn't look drastically different from the original...

 

[Chittagong]

I'll be super disappointed if the "rebranding" turns out to be slight adjustment on circles on the box plus a peripheral called Wave. So boring.

Having seen the new Rare logo I was hoping on something along those lines, significant rebrand like PS3 had last year. The stuff in this thread, the only person who will notice is the Xbox brand manager who occupies him/herself for the next two years chasing "old circles".

They might pick an 'in your face' color for the Xbox slim, like green or something. So it stands out compared to other consoles with Motion Controls.

 

[Skilotonn]

Man, all they did was make the rings on the right much thicker, and get rid of the thin green stripe at the bottom, and you nerds are complaining about that?

I expected as much even before I clicked the thread, but I was at least hoping for something other than the usual complaining.

I'll take a ban bet right now that they will not be releasing an Xbox 360 slim/redesign/whatever with green as its primary color. It'll be white or black as the primary color.

Do you know anything about design? Because that's not "all" they did, and even if it was, little things can cause drastic changes in design balance and visual appeal.

 

[Buckethead]

If true, that sucks. Original is better.

I don't this change is much, It took me awhile to figure out there was something changed.

Also who is that on your avatar, it creeps me out it looks robot or a man in drag.

Boxart rebranding mid-generation is so fucking stupid.

Uh...that doesn't sound like a good bet at all.

 

[Crisis]

Uh...that doesn't sound like a good bet at all.

He's saying the console itself will be green. Not the "main color" of the ad campaign.

 

[terrdactycalsrock]

im digging it

 

[Chris R]

sharp. but really folks, we're losing focus here: let's talk more about this Kane & Lynch cover.

Worst cover I've seen this year if not this generation.

 

[Kagari]

Worst cover I've seen this year if not this generation.

Yakuza 3 cover says Hi.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

Oh god. It's bad enough not being able to look my PS3 collection in the eye.

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

Uh...that doesn't sound like a good bet at all.

Slim WILL be black.

Bank on it.

 

[K' Dash]

I can't believe some of the answers to this thread, pure gold :lol

:lol It looks like they intentionally made it macroblock...

 

[AndyD]

I wonder why we dont get more game slipcases. Most every Bluray movie has a slipcase which can be embossed and have different art than the restrictions of the plastic cover.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

:lol It looks like they intentionally made it macroblock...

Well, yeah

 

[Takao]

That's hideous.

 

[alr1ght]

Well, yeah

if it has anythign to do with the games, I wouldn't know.

 

[Blueblur1]

I'll take a ban bet right now that they will not be releasing an Xbox 360 slim/redesign/whatever with green as its primary color. It'll be white or black as the primary color.

Someone's confident.

 

[outunderthestars]

People complaining about Boxart rebranding mid-generation is so fucking stupid.

FTFY

 

[LQX]

I never have any problems with how 360 brand against the game cover art looks. Screenshots of covers it always make it look worse than it is but under the sheen of the plastic they look fine.

Macroblock?

Black does look pretty good if adjusted again

 

[Threi]

I wish they would move more towards the green/orange colour scheme, like what they had at last year's e3. Looks very nice, not like the green/grey they got going on right now

[WillyFive]

I always thought the 360 branding was the best of all the three consoles.

Now it's not.

 

[Synth_floyd]

It's almost the same as the old one. Just the green wave is bigger in the new one. Who cares.

 

[ThanksVision]

Could you adjust it so that the black in this is silver? I'd just like to see what it would like.

 

[Wark]

I actually didn't like the look of it at first, but after looking at it for a while I don't mind it. I'm curious to see what the spine looks like now though.

 

[Cynar]

Now it's not.

:lol all they did was remove the xbox live logo, it looks fine to me

There's more to that to those who pay attention to these kinds of things.

 

[enzo_gt]

Nvm.

 

[twinturbo2]

My name is in this game. :lol

You were on the devteam of this game?

Tell me more, and tell me if the guy who did the coverart was on any sort of drugs. :lol

 

[SonOfABeep]

I saw this on the kane and lynch box but I thought it was a fluke or an error. Guess it's more significant.

 

[Jive Turkey]

FTFY

No...I had it right the first time.

 

[SonOfABeep]

I still like the green boxes. Green is my favorite color though.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

[Slavik81]

Microsoft Wave confirmed then?

That's a horrible name. Microsoft Wave vs. Google Wave: Fight!

...I'm way behind the curve it seems.

 

[Pooya]

The header is a bit bigger. Doesn't look any better IMO.

 

[D4Danger]

The header is a bit bigger. Doesn't look any better IMO.

It's the same size.

 

[Wark]

The header is a bit bigger. Doesn't look any better IMO.

Yeah, that was my biggest complaint at first, but then I noticed they were the same size.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

The header is a bit bigger. Doesn't look any better IMO.

that's what I thought at first too, I don't like it.

 

[Adam J.]

I've always hated Microsoft's decision to go with so much green with their cases. I understand that the color is one of their biggest copy points, but it sucks how often clashes with the game cover art (looking at my copy of Red Dead Redemption now and it looks like a Christmas special DVD with all that red and green).
