Edit:
Alright peeps! I think I have my template 90% done. I'm sharing it with you now (and editing the first post). Any help to further upgrade the template (ESRB back labels, blu-ray logos, PAL design, etc.) would be appreciated.
Edit: February 12, 2009
Alright v1.0.1 has been completed. Here's what I have done:
- BLUS & Numbers are on their own layer.
- Attempted to add a layer for the "PSN Network" logo when the game isn't exclusive to the PS3.
- Adobe Photoshop file created (.PSD)
Things that still need to be worked on for now:
- Adding additional ESRB logos & other territory logos
- Need to find a better quality PSN logo to replace the current "PSN Network" logos at the top of the front and back.
Again, the site is welcome to host these on TCP.net's site if an admin is capable.
Sorwah's PS3 Blu-ray to DVD template (v1.0.1):
Adobe Photoshop (.PSD): http://www.sendspace.com/file/ojvnr4
Paint Shop Pro (.PSPIMAGE): http://www.sendspace.com/file/36zwtd
Here's some examples of the template:

What if the next PlayStation system comes in a non-DVD case?

Well I say we keep using DVD cases regardless. Would you rather tackle these as they come out or have to re-case ALL of those old ps2 and ps1 cases?
-
What if the next PlayStation system comes in a non-DVD case?
I could say the same thing for the next Nintendo Handheld, yet people are converting GBA to DS cases. What if the next Nintendo handheld comes in a non-DS case?
Besides, it's more so for fun. It's also easier to get a hold of a blank DVD case instead of a blank Blu-ray PS3 case. Blu-ray cases aren't universal across the ponds. For example, PAL movie cases are thicker (spine-wise) than the american counterpart.
Besides, not like there's a slew of PS3 games coming out these days. I'm only looking to do my three games: LittleBigPlanet, Heavenly Sword, and Metal Gear Solid 4. Plus there's that demand for the MGS Essentials vol 2 to be made into DVD case as well. It's just another option for people really.

Which reminds me. There's been fair demand for an MGS Essentials collection styled DVD case for MGS4. Honestly I'm surprised there hasn't been one even attempted yet.
-
I don't think I'd print them off myself, but if I did I'd go with either option #1 or #3.
-
My vote goes for #1 - it fits in with the vast amount of existing PSX and PS2 cases here, plus the Spiderman font is yuck imo :(
-
I think you should attempt a vertical ps3 template as well, so it still aligns with the original.
-
The problem is that the covers ratio well from Blu-ray to DVD size. Putting a PS3 on the side would make the area for covers too skinny.
I could see what I could do, but moving the Playstation 3 logo to the top of the cover is best and easier for adjusting the ratio of the cover art.
-
All of these look rather incomplete without some kind of trim (white or otherwise) around the top sections of the front and spine. Also I think the (R) mark should be after the 3, and not between 'PlayStation' and '3'. Nice job overall, though.

Funny you should mention that. I was doing the exact same thing (Note on the below image, the white trim follow the spine black boxing, just the resize didn't carry it over). And no, the registered trademark symbol goes after the PlayStation since that's the trademark. the number isn't trademarked. It's the same with any legal text and the PlayStation 2 logo. Also, these are betas. I'm looking to get some opinions on what people like to see/be done so I can decide what might help make it "pop":

I like the first of the new three, with the Spider Man font on the front but not spine, and gradient from white on the left to black on the right.
-
Thanks ;D. Yeah I like the grey to black, but it looked awkward with the spine black so I tried the other way. Both look good to me. Thanks for your input! Anything else?
On a side note: can anyone try up'ing a RAW of MGS4?
-
I came up with a variant of your template that you might consider, forgive the sloppy resizing but it's just a mockup -

(http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/1791/ps3dvd2iq1.jpg)
It has consistent typefaces, as well as gradients, what do you guys think?
You can get it here - http://aanhorn.spymac.com/coverproject/ps3dvdtemplate.psd.zip (http://aanhorn.spymac.com/coverproject/ps3dvdtemplate.psd.zip)
-
I am liking what I see. Let me see if I can throw that in for my Heavenly Sword work.
-
Here is the .psd of the one I threw together, see if that helps -

-
Not sure. I think since the purpose of this whole thing is to create uniformity, so the font on the spine should match the PS2's. On the from it can look different, though. PS1 and PS2's fronts don't match anyway.
-
I think it's acceptable to have a slightly different front if the basic visual format is maintained (which it is).
The point isn't necessarily complete uniformity, but firstly to store PS3 games in a standard dvd template that balances style and uniformity.
-
The other thing being that it's pretty silly to put the old PS2 font on the spine, since the template is for a newer platform with it's own unique typeface.
So it makes sense to use the PS3 "Spiderman" font on the spine, and in that case, you're already deviating from perfect visual uniformity, so why not spruce it up a little? ;)
-
Here's what I got. Although I do prefer the PS2 font on the spine since it stands out a bit better. I wouldn't mind putting the fade on the spine and spidey font in a template for those who might want to.

-
try using the spidey logos in my .psd, they stick out just fine .
also I think the spine would look better with a slightly more gentle gradient. 8)
-
I feel I should point out that the main reason that ps1 games in a ps2 style case is valid and meaningful is because they can all be played on the same system.
Unfortunately that is no longer the case with the ps3. All current and future versions being sold lack ps2 compatibility.
-
But they do have PS1 capabilities.
So you're saying we should merge PS1 into Blu-ray cases? :P
Also, my PS3 plays PS2 games, maybe some other people do as well?

oh not at all. I'm not even against this idea, I'm just tossing a concern out there.
As for the backwards compatibility, it has in fact been official dropped from all future models. It was available on previous models, however, so you two likely have those.
-

I thought about grabbing one at singapore airport on my way back from New Zealand - but i wanted to be able to play UK Blu Rays on it - not bought a single one yet! ::)

I've updated my .psd to include all these variants -

I don't like the gray labeling, maybe I'm the only one.

When you say "previous models", what do you mean by that exactly?
-
the 1st PS3's had backwards compatibility built in about a year ago they started to phase the ability out and all new models now only play PS3 games
-
Ummm, what? There's going to be a 160gb console released this fall which replaces the 80gb MGS4/Motorstorm packages, not to be confused with the current 80gb package with no backwards compatibility. This 160gb console is going to be released with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
Basically they just doubled the capacity while keeping the features the same. Unless this announcement changed since then, you can still play your PS2 games on the soon to be released 160gb console if you haven't picked up a PS3 yet. I don't know what you mean by current, but I was just playing Katamari and God of War on my PS3 that I got in June. Yeah, there are some games that don't play well, but for the most part it plays very solidly, and they can be fixed eventually.
For the record, I think it still looks best to match the PS1/PS2 spines.
-
Europe phased out the PS2 compatibility very early on. So unless we import one, we are screwed.
60gig models (the last one with compat) change hands for silly money.
-
Ahhh, I see. That's a shame.
-
The US is phasing out backwards compatibility as well. In fact, the upcoming 160gb ps3 will NOT have backwards compatibility with the ps2.
-
20GB, 60GB, 80GB all had backwards compatibility with PS2 games. New 80GB, 40GB, and 120GB systems don't.
-
The US is phasing out backwards compatibility as well. In fact, the upcoming 160gb ps3 will NOT have backwards compatibility with the ps2.
Wow, Sony is crazy. I honestly don't get it.
Do you have a link to a post or article with that update? I have the PSBlog on my RSS feed but they made no mention of that change as far as I know.

http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/26/tabulator-comparing-the-playstation-3-skus/
here's a good article. Features a chart and everything. I agree though, sony is nuts.
-
basically its supposed to be a cost cutting feature since they sell them at a loss anyway theyre trying to minimize thier loss . i kept my original PS2 and plan on gettin a PS2 Slim before they discontinue them, since i have magic slide and can play import games.
-
I stilldon't have a PS2. I'm getting one by new year's though. (If there's gonna be a price drop before winter 2009, winter 2008 is it. Nobody price drops in summer unless sales are down.)
-
Thanks for the link, Apple.
I wish Sony would keep the option available. That MGS4 bundle was too short lived, but I'm glad I got it when I had the chance. Now I know how much of an investment that was. I'd rather take on the cost of buying a bigger hard drive than have no option for backwards compatibility. I hope this changes, ugh.
Though I find it kind of odd that the Playstation blog I was referring to (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2008/08/20/live-from-leipzig-north-american-hardware-announcements/) was posted on August 20th, 2008, and that Joystiq article says no compatibility 7 days later. I wonder if Joystiq is wrong.
-
Just want to remind people that I'm still working on a template, that I haven't given up.
The template will include the Black & Gradient spine and title bar. It will also include the PS2 & "Spidey" Font as well for anyone who enjoys that. In fact, I feel they are done. I just have to get the template together for all the logo crap (Blu-ray, "Number of Players", region, etc.).
Just an update.

I only have one Blu Ray and that was Casino Royale that Sony sent me for registering when PSN went live in the U.K and that plays fine on my PS3. Perhaps because its an Asian version rather than Japanese and covers places like Hong Kong. We had three days in Singapore and the place is like a gamers heaven...full of little shops selling stuff from Japan for every system at reasonable prices.Hong Kong was the same...i could spend months there. :D

got a holiday in china booked for next year, with a short time in hong kong - i better get the credit cards ready :)

You have to poke around in these tiny looking 'shopping malls' for want of a better word but you find whole floors just selling games in premesis about the size of a small papershop. But the stuff there is unreal. I had to be dragged out in the end! DS/PSP is real cheap compared to ours,they have both JP and US stuff and of course, you can haggle. I picked up a few PS games and AES carts last time as well as DS.

A bit more on topic, I personally like this look the best.
Should we maybe start a poll?
-
I'm still not feeling the gradient on the spine... Like the rest though. Is that globe icon with a 1 on it (presumably the region) on a real PS3 game?
-

Hmm... what if the spine was all black and the gradient started on the opposite side?
-
Nah, I like the white to black, left to right on the front, it's just since you're making this for a uniform look, there should be uniform spines IMO.
-

Yes, it's on the real PS3 games, and something I'm going to be adding to the template.

(http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/2766/swatchqt2.jpg)
Like I've said before, my vote goes to variant #1 as seen here in my .psd file.
It makes the most sense visually.
I mean, for those who insist on complete uniformity on the spines of PS1, PS2 and PS3 games, I would argue that that does not make much sense. Hardware-wise and just looking at Sony's own policy, the PS3 is a completely different platform than the PS2 and PS1, it contains no hardware or software BC support, so why pretend it's the same by insisting on uniform spines?

For alot of people it does have PS2 backwards compat, and for all it has PS1 compat.
-
All PS3s have PS1 software support.
http://kotaku.com/gaming/notag/sony-could-run-bc-on-40gb-ps3s-they-just-dont-want-to-308467.php
PS one
The PS3 has never been equipped with either the CPU or GPU that were used in the original PlayStation, and the backwards compatibility for PS one titles has therefore been made available through software emulation from the beginning. Therefore backwards compatibility for PS1 titles remains the same no matter how many times the model is changed.

I REALLY like the PS2 font style better. I personally can't stand the look of a standard PS3 case, cover (hate the look of the spine, ugh), or spiderman font style, and now that I've got myself a 60GB PS3 with full BC I'm looking forward to having PS3 games in custom DVD cases with that PS2 font style custom covers, so as to continue the look from the custom PS1, PS2, and now PS3 all in the same DVD cases and the same horizontal covers to play all 3 generation of games on 1 machine. :D
-
Those look pretty awesome, but I do like my PS3 boxes. I may one day move all my PS1 and PS2 games to BD PS3 format though...
-
I do understand. However, it will be kind of hard to fit your DVD instruction manual in the Blu-ray case.
Oh, and I plan to make a custom PS3 cover with the LE art I made if you would like.

Soraw,
Any plans on doing this afterall? I'd love to have a custom cover of the LE artin the PS2 DVD style look. 8)
-
As I asked on the last page. I need a good scan of the RE game because the LE edition doesn't have the barcode on the insert.
-
Current plans for v1.01
Fixes:
- Putting the BLUS & Number on their own layer.
- Adjusting the "Playstation Network" bar on the top right of the cover to work when it isn't a Playstation exclusive.
- Adding alternate ESRB back cover ratings for Online Capable games as well as some of the more common descriptors.
- Adding a layer for each region icon for the back (to aid the PAL users)
I'm moving this week so don't expect the update any time soon.

Alright v1.0.1 has been completed. I haven't done much but here's what I have done:

Hey everyone, I've been lurking around here for some time now while working on my own covers. I thought that the ps3 to Dvd thing was pretty cool and I had some idea's for a template of my own. So this is what I've got so far

That's a pretty cool template, actually. If I did the Bluray-to-DVD thing, I'd definitely go for this. As it stands, though, I've got way too many extra PS3 cases.
-
That's a pretty nice template you made, BoD. If I had any PS3 games, I'd gladly use this template.
-
I agree with twilightwolf77 the template looks really nice.
Personally i am keeping by PS3 games in their normal cases but the template looks nice nonetheless.

My only gripe is the same gripe I have with the original HD DVD designs - the 'swoop' takes up too much space on the cover. But that's just me and everything else looks great.
Thanks for giving your take on the idea! I'd love to see the full template.

I like this one the best of all by far. Basically a PS2 box but with the "2" replaced with a "3." I think the Spider-man font is one of the worst things Sony could've done for the Playstation brand.
Not sure if everyone is going for this, but I'm trying to get uniformity among my Playstation games, and it seems that the PS2 was the most dominant Playstation console with the most games. It's the reason so many PS1 games here were given cases fitting the PS2 template and not the other way around.
Certain series like Metal Gear and Silent Hill are also mostly on the PS2 with just one title on each of the other systems. There are already PS2-format case designs for MGS1 and SH1. It'd be nice if I could have all four MGSs stacked side-by-side all in the same format, and choosing the PS2 format to put them in would require the least work.
-
Thanks RedSwirl. Your comments are the main reason I wanted to do this. If Bird of Doom is alright with it I'd like to merge his template with mine and remove my other template. I.E. Have two designs: (1) My PS2 font themed and (2) His PS3 stylized theme.
-
Sounds good to me.
-
Ugh. Work's been a bi-... tough lately. I'll see if I can get around to fixing up the PSD this weekend.
-
Just to let everyone know, I've put this on hold until I see what this Sony re-branding is. Apparently they are changing the design of the PS3 game covers, so I'll wait to see if it's better to use some of these new designs in this template.
(http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/08/gundamps3.jpg)
-
that already looks nicer than current design - let's hope they run with it (without changing spine design)
-
I've heard some people saying they are thinking it won't happen elsewhere because of the 360s popularity outside of Japan. As it currently stands, the artwork used on a 360 case can be easily adapted to PS3 cases, and vice versa. If they switch to this template, the cover art on PS3 cases will have to be wider than on 360 cases.
Still, the cover art for EyePet used this template, so it could change. This sorta thing always weirds me out though. Last thing I want is for my PS3 collection to be as non-uniform as my Genesis collection.

That's what we're here for though :-).
Also I wouldn't be surprised in a change of spine, Sony appears to have started to change the PS3's primary color in advertisements: Now Calm Blu(-ray), instead of Power Red.

Oh, and comparisons over the rebranding of the labels:

I personally like the shift back to the PS2 styled logo, hopefully they return with that font on horizontal tops as well ;)
Never liked the spiderman font and never really understood why they changed it.

Edit:
Alright peeps! I think I have my template 90% done. I'm sharing it with you now (and editing the first post). Any help to further upgrade the template (ESRB back labels, blu-ray logos, PAL design, etc.) would be appreciated.
Edit: February 12, 2009
Alright v1.0.1 has been completed. Here's what I have done:
- BLUS & Numbers are on their own layer.
- Attempted to add a layer for the "PSN Network" logo when the game isn't exclusive to the PS3.
- Adobe Photoshop file created (.PSD)
Things that still need to be worked on for now:
- Adding additional ESRB logos & other territory logos
- Need to find a better quality PSN logo to replace the current "PSN Network" logos at the top of the front and back.
Again, the site is welcome to host these on TCP.net's site if an admin is capable.

I apologize for bumping this thread. But did this project die? Also does anyone seem to have a template for the second MGS4 image with the old PS2 style logo?
-
Anyone? I'd really like to take a shot at creating some.
-
Yes, it seems to me that the project died. In the post you quoted he provided a link to the template though
-
Yeah, I just haven't had the time to work on it. I've been swamped in my other projects/work.
-
Ah, that's understandable. I was just wondering ig someone could re-upload the templates.
-
I guess no one has a template for this? I was just going to use it for personal use.
-
Here's the most up to date template I created if you want.
Feel free to update the thread with any changes/covers you make.
