    Does anyone knows where can I find a list of blue, PS4 like label releases for the PS3? It seems that they used it for a while then rolled back on to the older design. The only game I know that uses it is Drakengard 3, but I'm not so sure since I don't own it. There's also a black label release of it if I'm not mistaken.

    The Cover Project will probably have them soon, though a simple photoshop could do the job.

    The ones i remember:

    - MLB14 The Show
    - Deception IV Blood Ties
    - Sports Pack Vol. 1
    - Watch Dogs
    - Mugen Souls Z
    - Lego Hobbit

    They realized it was such a dumb move that it never started outside the US. I remember posting a topic about it. --> HERE

    dc16 I was actually asking about which games Sony released with that design. I'd rather photoshop the older PS3 logo in them, but it is interesting to have in the collection nonetheless.

    Yeah, that was the stupidest thing.

    Looking through Gamestop's website, I also found:

    Ultra Street Fighter IV
    Enemy Front
    Murdered: Soul Suspect
    Bound by Flame
    Wolfenstein: the New Order

    Not 100% sure if all those have it, I know USFIV and Murdered do.

    Although there's promo pictures of those with the blue style covers, by the time they were released, they were already back to the black style.

    Yeah Murdered and Drakengard 3 makes seven distinct games. Excluding combo-only NBA 2K14.

    I think Ultra Street Fighter IV came out with the blue spine.
    I'm pretty sure I saw a copy with this kind of spine.
    Next time I go to a store I will check. I think I saw one on Saraiva.

    I see PS3 Blue Spine games on occasion. It makes sense that they switched back. They just look too similar to PS4 cases.

    I'm guessing that at least one high-ticket Blue Spine game caused confusion for people during a multi-plat/cross-gen release, where people ended up buying Blue Spine PS3 ports thinking they were buying the PS4 version of the game.

    I'm not really sure. Murdered Soul Suspect released after Wolfenstein The New Order, defying logic already.
    Ultra Street Fighter IV would be a crazy 2 month gap.

    I think everyone wants to forget those two games.

    I want someone to explain to me what was the point in having this redesign?
    Was there a new PS3 revision coming out ? No.
    Are these games compatible with the PS4 ? No. Then why have this pointless redesign that just makes people confused ?

    PSVita cases are already blue. They thought it would unify brand design, I think.
