This thread makes me want to look through all my DVD style boxes and check them out.

NOT just DVD-Styled, my friend...I know for a fact that some of my PS2, PS3, DS (cartridge), and PSP (UMD) have these 'double-siders'...

Well that's what I meant. Clamshell cases in general.

That *IS* a pretty good link :)

Like you said, though, I'm pretty sure that there's some more that they might have missed there...

...plus...that kinda' takes all of the fun out of being surprised, finding them, and adding/Listing 'em as we go :P

I don't *think* that they do...I don't remember ever seeing any kind of "gallery" there before...

It *Would* be really sweet to have, like you said, a "Gallery" of some kind showing *both* sides of the ones that have the alternative art-work side-by-side for comparisons; I think.

I don't know if this counts but for Madden NFL 09 Brett Favre was on the cover and he was getting traded to the jets. The original cover had him in his Packers Uniform, and EA had available for download a new cover with him in his Jets Uniform. I believe they were available for Xbox 360, PS3, PSP, and PS2.

That's kind of like when Okami was relased for the Wii and Capcom accidentally left the IGN watermark on the image used for the cover.

You could go to a site through Capcom and order replacement covers for that as well.

Ya that was full of fail, wasn't it?

Yeah, that was great.  Well, not Capcom messing up like that, but getting the free new covers.  The alternative art for the covers was really nice~.

Oh, most of the games I knew about got mentioned, but I will bring up Magna Carta (PS2).  I don't own the game anymore, but I'm pretty sure it has a reversible cover.  I don't know if Magna Carta 2 follows the reversible cover trend or not, though.

2).  Heavy Rain, and

3).  FF XIII

I just want to note that the 360 version of FFXIII does NOT have a reversible cover. Darn PS3 fans :(

Anyway, we're including all types of art on the other side of the covers, right?  In that case, all the PSP Ys games published by XSEED (Ys Seven, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, and Ys I&II Chronicles) have some art, though it's not technically another cover.

If MS could get away with it I doubt they would have any covers.

I was wondering if it would be consistent on different platforms or not...

Yes...anything w/ something on both sides is fine.

Instead of making a new post, while I'm here, I'll just add:

Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust (also PS3 version...and strangely (as it's the only one I have) it's a European release/version)  ::)
