Sony in the Process of Rebranding Itself w/new logo, box art, and more

With the announcement of the PS3 Slim (not officially called the PS3 Slim) we have been seeing new things coming from Sony on the PS3. As in a previous article, Sony planning new PS3 Box art with PS3 Slim Announcement?, Sony is now in the process of rebranding it's flagship PS3 in the market. With the announcement of the PS3 Slim, it was more than just a new version of the PS3. It was a whole rebranding process with a new logo to go with it. The final design of the box art has been released and is shown in the new image from the Gundam bundle box. On the left you could see the new PS3 logo on the box, without PLAYSTATION 3 in Spider-Man font on the side, and with a MUCH cleaner look.

the ps3 slim is the best video gaming machine ever released. it has the best ever hardware which in turn give us the best ever quality games! I just feel for M$'s 360 owners who are stuck with a garbage and must lie to themselves trying to believe that M$ (lol) has got the best hardware i.e. games!

Sitdown5359d ago

1.)"Ever released"? It has not even been released yet.
2.)Going off of the specs, I prefer my 60gb PS3
3.)PC gamers will challenge the "best video gaming machine ever released"
4.)Often times when you bash the competition, you can see flashes of insecurity. Why are you trying so hard to convince yourself that the ps3 is the best, and that the 360 is garbage? What does it really matter to you? You enjoy what you like...and let other enjoy what they prefer.

inbfour5359d ago

I totally agree with you. I'm anticipating the launch of the slim greatly but jeeze. This guy needs to calm down and Sit Down.(Ah ah ah ah)

kaelix5359d ago

"Why are you trying so hard to convince yourself that the ps3 is the best, and that the 360 is garbage?"

This "54.2%" is just as good as garbage.

Sunny_D5359d ago

I think he may be Nas!m, lol

tehReaper5359d ago

"This "54.2%" is just as good as garbage."

Using a percentage from a poll of only 5000 people like it's fact is garbage, friend. Yeah the 360 has RROD. Get over it and just let gamers game.

FamilyGuy5359d ago (Edited 5359d ago )

Considering the majority of people who subscribe to GameInformer or are part of their online community are "Gamers" as apposed to "casual gamers" it would seem that this new number SHOULD be used here as the majority of us game beyond what is considered casually. Simply put - WE ARE PART OF THAT MINORITY.

You get what I'm saying? The number should mean more to us because those people game on their systems about as much as we do. That does mean that the PS3 is really high too, but still a 5th of M$s problem.

You should probably either start ignoring people who reference that new number or get use to it because it seems like it's taking over as the new number in the gaming world (online at least). Blame GameInformer, they're the "respected gaming publication" that posted the poll.

whoelse5359d ago

It is a good move for Sony, because they really need to revive their image associated with the PS3.

sonic9895359d ago

i like the ps3 games so much and that the most important thing not bashing others ( unless they bash you first then let them have it )
and about the logo i hate it i prefer the old one which was unique
actually very unique that most of the casual gamers couldn't understand Lol

Sarick5359d ago

The cheaper blu-ray drive and system cooling are yet to seen. Lets wait and see if these factors play a role in the slims reliability before making announcements about it being the best.

It's going to sell good based on pre-orders though.

Buy having a different box art it wants to seperate itself from the fat version plus they want to create a new universal product...

The fat PS3 was very confusing with it's

20gb, 40gb, 60gb bc, 60gb semi bc, 80gb, 120gb and 160gb.

So yeah by having just two version 120gb and 250 with it's only difference is hard drive size... that will stop confusion.

PS360PCROCKS5359d ago

Oh man I have told droves of people and everyone is confused. People don't know what's what with the PS3, it's changed so many times.

Sarick5359d ago

wouldn't it be nice if the 250 had BC upgrade capacity??

Ri0tSquad5359d ago (Edited 5359d ago )

Almost seems like a completely new system. I like the new boxart. I guess that PlayStation 3 logo when you start a game will be gone as well.

PS360PCROCKS5359d ago

I don't like that it's switching to "PS3" Heres the thing ever since I was a kid it's been "Playstation" and we referred to it as the PS1, PS2 and PS3. I like that it's the playstation and wish it would stay that way but I guess not...it's like calling the xbox 360 the "360" we all say it but wouldn't it be weird if it was just the 360?

DonCorneo5359d ago

i smell a sell-out in japan w=once this is released

Ninver5359d ago

They've been through the most thorough of M$'s braiwashing camp for knob jockeys lol. Don't worry about them. They are the trailer park breed of our gaming community. They opted for a turd and they will eventually face their inevitable fate (54.2%) lol. It's almost a given exclusive.

bdrowned5359d ago

Ah, but PS3's are already nearly sold out in japan. as i believe i recall reading an article about japan's PS3 supply is running low.

I'm one of those guys who thinks sony should keep their original trademarked logo. there's nothing old with fresh and new ideas, but they had the logo for so long.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7222h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
