Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One also has reversible box art photo

Yet another PlayStation 3 release will include reversible cover art, a movement that has been gaining recent popularity thanks to Resistance 3 and The ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection. Next in line is Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One.

Rather than merely posting an image of the alternate cover, which can be seen above, Sony has a rather descriptive explanation for how the final (default) packaging got to be the way it is. Anyone interested in seeing what didn't make the cut ought to give the post a read.

Well, there is one small reason to buy it new. GameStop usually completely mutilates box art with stickers.

I'm just going to throw this out there, but 3d dot game hereos, demons souls, blazblue all have reversible art.

The adult video industry has been doing reversible covers for years.

While I applaud the idea of reversible covers I actually prefer it the way they did it before for PS3 games where they had inner designs that you could see because the cases were clear. Having the covers be reversible means there are logos on top of it now, and it isn't one big wide picture anymore.

I just took a picture of the inside of some PS3 cases in case you don't know what I'm talking about.



As for the front cover they choose I think it's kind of boring, especially compared to all of the amazing sketch covers they showed.

Haha, I remember seeing that from April Fool's Day on the PS Blog. Awesome to see it's going to be made for real.

Lenigod, my copy of Demon's Souls is calling you a liar.

I am so sad about this right now.

My ICO collection doesn't have a reversible cover!! The fuck!!

And I don't have what Scissors has on those games either. 3D Dot Game Heroes neither. Is this Canada's fault?

You know what games I do have that have reversible covers. Fucking Fragile Dreams and fucking The Sky Crawlers. XSEED games. (God I love them).

Also the New Play Control series. That's pretty much all I know of. No PS3 games a'tall. >: (

@Lenigod Sure, but back covers designed to be alternative advertising? No.

I remember Nintendo starting this with their Gamecube re-releases on the Wii but Im really hoping that this'll be a new trend. It's awesome to be able to choose your own cover without all those stickers on.
