haha ... bring back memories

I made that even before I became a member ... the quality is absolutely terrible. I made a bunch more like this too but thankfully they were rejected from the site.
Just a warning to you, you may not like the results of the cover years down the line. I thought my little idea was awesome but then it faded over time. Eventually i just switched back to the retail insert with the retail template. This may also depend on how many xbox games you have. When i first did the "360-ized" versions i love the uniformity but since i have so many of them (~40) it quickly faded. It actually became a nuisance that the different systems looked so similar.
Overall, its your call i'm just just giving you my little story with the experiment. :)

No, not all the Xbox360 games have the Xbox live log on the top banner

The images on this site are hi-res, so they're going to look very very large on your monitor. When printed, they'll be the right size (unless you fumble with the dpi settings).

Interesting... I never actually saw a game that didn't have Xbox Live in the top corner until I started looking at launch games. King Kong is the only one I've seen that didn't have it. I actually have some Xbox 360 games that have no Xbox Live functionality at all, but they still have Xbox Live in the corner. Weird.
Interesting that we had the same idea. Don't really see it being a problem with me, though - turns out, very few of my Xbox games are Backwards Compatible anyway. Regardless, I think this'll be a good way to tell, at a glace, which games are BC and which aren't.

This is a pretty interesting idea, but my Xbox collection is around 30-40 games, and I only play them on the old Xbox anyway. Since they're cutting XBL support for Xbox originals anyway I see no real reason to play them on my 360.
Edit: Btw, you happen to copypasta that from one of the Burger King games? ::)

I took the idea from the Burger King games, but the scans up were too grainy. So, I ended up just Photoshopping the '360' out from the Xbox 360 Template that's up on the site, since that looks a lot cleaner.
The games may have been crap, but it was still a good idea!
