The white, black, and blue looks better with some color schemes. It looks good with Horizon, okay with this, and bad with Spiderman. I wish they would have gone with white/clear or black cases and then they'd match up a lot better with just about any boxart.

The art looks good. This just hammers home how much I hate the box design though. The white and blue look awful

I like it. I just think the PS5 case needs to have a blue strip down the front spine of the case to cut that white band across the top. It looks so much better.

I think it looks fine honestly, that said I hope whenever we finally get Series X exclusive box art MS gets a lot more creative with it.

I think the white looks better with this art but the blue is just really jarring for me. Not super happy as a physical collector so far.

I mean, it's kinda on Godfall too for not considering how this might look against that template but... the white just ain't working
I wouldn't put it on Godfall at all. A good case design should be able to look good with any cover art as long as the cover art itself is good. It's been that way for generations

Don't understand all the hate the white banner is getting.

It doesn't match the blu cases, if that's what they are going to keep using which is silly.

Someone did a mockup of if they used a black case and it worked MUCH better with the blue banner. The white and black banner/blue font look awful together. They really SHOULD change the case colour, because too many people will probably miss the "5" on it to differentiate.

It's the blue that's not working, not the white banner.

But I still think the combo is a nice visual reflection of how the console looks.

blues and whites really pop with that case design and white border

There is something about the white, maybe all the empty space and no gradient or anything it always looks photoshopped to me.

edit: The key art also gives me sudeki vibes

Game studios employ some of the best artists in the whole world and somehow the boxarts consistently end up with some bland/generic hero posing.
