Sonic in the Flesh

Sonic's Packshot

Writing an article about an actual pack shot for Sonic the Hedgehog is no easy task. In times like these, you’re left feeling like a magician trying desperately to pull a rabbit out of a hat. The challenge lies in making something simple into something incredible.

A catchy title perhaps? Sonic in the Flesh. And then followed by a popular quote with no particular relevance to the game, but has the word in hedgehog in it.  The Greek poet Archilochus once said “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing” suggesting a profound distinction between two kinds of artist or thinker. This technique will however put some people off, so as the article’s saving grace, a quote from the person who took the photo is needed.

“Here is the actual package for Sonic for the PS3. Thank god they have that blue on top to easily distinguish between ps3 and ps2 games,” says =Metallic-Force=. Enjoy.


Update:

As some of you have put it, the true test of a pack shot’s legitimacy is a photograph of its back portion. There certainly isn’t anything wrong for not immediately taking everything at face value. Completely understandable. So, to enforce his previous claim of the pack shot being legit (or of him being very good at photoshop), =Metallic-Force= has sent in a snapshot of the back portion of the Sonic the Hedgehog game.

Update 2: Two real sweet pictures of pre-release Sonic love isn’t enough for you? Must you get inside and pick apart every aspect of the official box and artwork… just like everything else you see? We will let it slide just this once (since we do too). Luckly for our sake we don’t have to go sneeking around in Sony‘s headquarters again… since they didn’t much appriciate us there last time… so =Metallic-Force= has saved us the restraining order while providing us with a internal picture of Sonic the Hedgehog’s Box, including the Instruction Manual and Disk. Thanks for these great centerfolds =Metallic-Force=, now if only we could find a way to curb our excitement until the PS3’s release.
