Here's something you don't see every day. This is a floppy disk that has the PlayStation Electronic Templates. It was supplied to design agencies who were creating packaging for PlayStation games. On it should be the templates for the cover sheet, disk label and instruction manual for PlayStation games. It is untested and sold as-is.

Sold for $5.

Wonder what format everything would come in on that floppy...

UncleBob got in touch with him and he's willing to sell us a copy. He/she also has a ton of other official template disks.

Fantastic!  Let us know what are costs involved - i am sure most of us regulars would glady contribute!

Sort of exciting, but this would be the templates for the jewel cases wouldn't it? Most people want PS1 covers in DVD case format so I don't understand why this is all that exciting.

I don't know if more people want the DVD conversions than reatil but i do think there are a lot more request for it.  Having the original foramt is equaly important though. If its on a floppy i'm surious what format these come in. I think its really exciting though!

I'll point him toward this thread and see what we can all work out.

holy crap can we start a donation thing and get all of them?

[Zelimpdna]

I'd be happy to contribute. Although I'd suggest perhaps just getting one of them first, to see what they're like and if it's worth getting the rest.

[Doom]

Agreed. But I think we can do better than $10 each. Also, we might not need every single template he posted.

Let's see how much he's willing to barter, I mean we could pool some money together and just get all of them.  I'm willing to chip in 10 dollars to snowcone or whoever it is we'd be trusting with the money.

Same here assuming I have any money left after I pay some expenses.

[tiktektak]

I'll throw in a few dollars too.... Anytime....

The guy has created a decent amount of video game covers...wonder if he can upload some original copies? That would be really sweet.
