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.

Enemy3876d 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.

slimeybrainboy3876d ago

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

Enemy3876d ago

My box has better lineup of image placement and composition!

YOUR MOVE!

Nitrowolf23876d ago (Edited 3876d ago )

I still have my original phat PS3 box :)

Godmars2903876d ago

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

JKelloggs3876d ago

You throw them away?

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

kneon3876d ago

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

Elwenil3876d 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.

cleft53876d 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.

abzdine3876d ago

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

Fairchild Channel F3876d ago

@Nitrowolf2

I still have my original NES box :)

DatRealBoy3876d ago

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

ThanatosDMC3876d ago

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

v6volume3876d ago

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

LoveGaming3876d ago

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

YNWA963876d ago

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

Retroman3876d ago (Edited 3876d ago )

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

Eonjay3876d ago

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

kickerz3876d ago

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

thehitman3876d ago

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

Thomaticus3876d ago

Not yet! Now we must admire the boxes!

crxss3876d 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 Mammo3876d 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.

ZHZ903876d ago

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

KwietStorm_BLM3876d 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?

ShinMaster3876d ago

I keep my boxes.
Comes in handy when moving.

UltimateMaster3876d 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?

sync903876d ago

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

PiTCHBLaCK3876d ago

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

BoriboyShoGUN3876d 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

MRMagoo1233876d 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.

andrewsqual3875d 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".

Ritsujun3875d ago (Edited 3875d ago )

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

ohiostatesman3875d 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.

Seafort3875d 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_poolies3875d ago

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

UnHoly_One3875d 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

malol3875d ago (Edited 3875d ago )

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

Benchm4rk3875d ago (Edited 3875d 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

GarrusVakarian3876d ago (Edited 3876d ago )

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

Thanks for the memory recall.

iamtehpwn3876d ago

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

SlyGuy3876d ago

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

yellowgerbil3876d 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_man3876d ago

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

ForgivenZombie3876d ago

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

InMyOpinion3876d 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. :)

Eddie201013876d ago

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

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

scott1823876d ago

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

DigitalRaptor3876d ago (Edited 3876d 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!

2cents3876d ago

I prefer the X-Box lol

@enemy... lol

ovnipc3876d 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.

Aceman183876d ago

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

bigfish3876d 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.

bjmartynhak3876d ago (Edited 3876d ago )

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

edgeofsins3876d 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-Alchemist3876d ago

This is just getting ridiculous now, comparing boxes really?

hiredhelp3876d ago

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

xtremeimport3876d 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.

Bathyj3876d ago (Edited 3876d 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 3876d ago

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

s8anicslayer3876d ago

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

CaJuaLFeatPuFF3876d ago

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

MikEyG3875d ago

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

Totoro173875d 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 :)

always makin supid competitons

knifefight3876d ago

Can't wait till someone compares the bar codes, the bubble wrap, and taste of the plastic.

Tooly3876d ago

me either who you think goin win

Godlovesgamers3876d 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.

BallsEye3876d ago

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

MasterCornholio3876d ago (Edited 3876d 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.

Hicken3876d 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.

BallsEye3876d 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...

Godlovesgamers3876d 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.

jatakk3875d ago

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

Hicken3875d 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.

LackTrue4K3876d ago

it is!!!
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.

GreenRanger3876d ago

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

Otoshigamisama3876d ago

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

MineHaxx3876d ago

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

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro4h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B2h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21832h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh1h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia1h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins1h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal1h ago

The first game was the best imo.
