This has probably been posted before, but I was checking out the new releases, and I literally had to do a double take:

The secret has finally been revealed of Amazon boxes.

Replaces the ??? with any of the Amazon product codes, and you'll get the high-res version right away. (the condition that the box has to have "ZOOM" below it :P ) Some MAY not work, like Rabbids Go Home NA.

For example, here's A Boy and His Blob NA Wii's box:

I co-credit duckroll for the find as he found the similar code for the high-res screens from Xenoblade's Amazon page, but I did some changes to the code in order to find the box code itself.

Man, that Sin and Punishment boxart still amazes me.

Alternatively, you could name Crysis, based on that boxart, "Shootman" and it still woulda been the same.

Dantes' Inferno St. Lucia Edition only for italian market.
Are 360 games getting their own PSN circle now? I hope not.

I hate that stupid circle and wish they would stop using it.

Anyone has experience buying from this store?

No complaints. Play.com is another good store with free delivery around the world but usually their prices are tad higher then thehut.com.
 
Is it just me or do a lot of these covers look very american-esque?

And whats up with the bland black on white lettering on the spine of the demons soul box?

That doesn't look special at all..

The wonderful world of PAL, my friend.

(both Googled pics, no my collections)


It's better this gen, with some publishers (Rockstar, EA) going with themed spines and Sony with a themed background. Others (Ubisoft) still go with black Arial on white.

Don't remind me, I'm still pissed that I only recognized this after already owning 50+ PAL games..

And I thought all publisher finally realized how fucking boring that looks, guess I was wrong.

That bland generic look is an awesome look for a large collection.

yeah, i really love it. I also don't buy platinum versions, so it's just a sleek white look.

ps3 boxes are all over the place though, some with art, some without, some with old spine , some with new. I think it's going to look pretty funny/weird when i finally decide to put them in alphabetical order
 
OMG DO WANT !!!, lucky for me I already have a pre-order in since sept 2009 :P
Hopefully there will be an CE version by the time the game itself comes out
(looks at you CE from Fable 2.....)
