Thanks tik, I couldn't find the thread for some reason...

Nice LotR reference.

Wasn't sure where to dump this, so figured here was as good as any...

I'm currently working on a set of custom Final Fantasy covers, spawning multiple platforms so I've done some heavy modifications to the current PS3 template(s) listed on our site to come up with a newer one, which as a Horizontal Playstation 3 bar at the top instead of the Vertical one on the left of the front cover (that option is also in the .psd as well, in addition to some others that I played around with at one time for my customs)

Horizontal Cover:


Vertical Cover:


Again, the template comes from heavy modification of what LJ42 has listed, as well as Bird of Doom's from the PS3 to DVD project.
Thoughts/Comments welcome, oh and if anyone can recommend somewhere to upload a .psd file that'd be appreciated.

Looks nice, can't wait to use it.

By the way, is this based on PS3 case dimensions, or Blu-Ray case dimensions?

[Velmeran]

o.O -- I assume it's the PS3 case dimensions. I used LJ42's as my starting point and never even bothered to look and compare; but I will check dimensions when I get home and compare it to my normal BD template.

Oh, and for some reason i forgot to make the ESRB logos on the front visible and the PSN logo on the back visible (1:30am is too late for me to be trying to save jpg images when I gotta be up at 6 the next day)

Well, I've found out from personal experience that LJ42' template doesn't have correct dimensions, at least when it comes to US PS3 cases. All of my SF4 covers are messed up because of that, apparently...

So... just be aware of that.

Good to know You don't happen to know the 'proper' dimensions of the standard US case do ya? Shouldn't be too much work to modify (would explain why my printed sample seamed a little snug, I was just chalking it up it being heavy photo paper).

Edit: Went and grabbed the various dimensions from the SF IV thread...
"Insider Admin FAQ" says 3189 x 1776
the7k used 3286 x 1776
Sheep2001 says 3224 x 1760 or 3213 x 1760 (based on scans and measures)
Jigsaw says 3213 x 1760 (based on trial and error of all mentioned, resulted in best fit / proportions)

Any definitive answer on which we're going with?

[the7k]

The difference between 3224 x 1760 and 3213 x 1760 is pretty insignificant, so I'd probably go with one of those.

But yeah, the jury is still out on this one.

[sheep2001]

the official alternative Resistance 2 covers (linked on the previous page) are the  3225 x 1758.  I have printed one of these and it's perfect - i would go with that.

Noted and will do (even emailed the dimensions to myself to make sure I change them)

No problem if it's fiting nicely then I'd say we go with the all new new dimensions....

Only problem is that all our 89 PS3 covers we currently have are wrongly sized.....

[the7k]

Yeah, it would be a good idea to go with a figure straight from the mouth of Sony...

Better late than never, right?

I'm currently working on a set of custom Final Fantasy covers

In case the 15 other custom covers for each game aren't good enough.
