I don't think I'm doing this right?

It's because it was somehow made it at 72dpi at an insane image size to compensate (47" x 27").

Here's a corrected file for ya.

That's not always intentional, I know few SNES covers that show up 96 DPI on XP Paint, but 300DPI on W7 Paint and Paintshop.

96DPI cure is to print at 32% scale, and 72DPI cure was 17% scale IIRC (not sure).

I know nothing about paint, and I sure as hell don't use it. Came up as 72dpi in Photoshop, and I've got to imagine that's what was used to make the image :/

Like I said: That's not always intentional, in this case too maybe, as they might have just forgotten to reset the DPI.

wiggy:
I amend my previous comment (though you quoted me, so it's sorta moot :P)

That's something that needs to be checked on uploads, for sure! (That is, if it isn't already and that particular cover comes from a time that predates such checks)
