Through the PS3's lifecycle, some games would receive a major reprint that changed the artwork. In 2009, Sony rebranded the PlayStation 3 with the launch of their slim console redesign. This console revision also brought a change to the look and style of the PS3 artwork. The old style (used from launch in 2006 until the end of 2009) has the "PlayStation 3" text on the left side of the artwork on the front. The new redesign moved that text to the top banner, reading as "PS3" now. The spine also changed from a small red PS3 box to a larger PS3 rectangle. With this change, a few games received a reprint to update the artwork from the old style to the new style. First party titles published by Sony also received a reprint to the game disc, updating that style as well. Third party titles used old stock of their game discs, leading to a new style artwork, with an old style disc.

As of 2019 and still to this day (10/6/2022 as of this update), PS3 games are still receiving reprints. Typically single disc games that you see in dual disc cases and sealed will be reprints, mostly they are coming from Amazon and sometimes on eBay.
