In a welcome move for box art enthusiasts, Insomniac and Sony will offer a “clean/logo-free inlay/reversible cover” that lets you ignore the ESRB rating, PlayStation Move support badging and logos for the developer, publisher and PlayStation Network. This is pure, 100% box art, front and back, without any of the filler as seen on the dev’s official Twitter. More of this, please, developers and publishers!
Resistance 3 hits the PS3 in North America on September 6.

This third looks to return alot of the original features (weapon wheel! :)), so I can’t wait.
Love the fact they are doing reversible covers, although I’m getting the Special Edition, so mine will be a steelbook, but as the article mentions more games should have this.

Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at 10:02 PMIt’s actually nice to see some cover art that isn’t bombarded with developer/publisher logos all over it.
It also looks very similar to the cover of a 500 page novel. Hardback too, none of that paperback crap.

Well played!
