Media kits are weird things. On the one hand, let's not beat around the bush: they exist to buy an outlet's interest in a game. Fair enough. But one thing that's always bothered us – particularly when it comes to Sony's frankly amazing packages – is that someone, somewhere puts dozens of hours into designing these. And then they get cast away into a journo's cupboard never to be seen again.
So, we figured that we'd show you No Man's Sky's media kit because… Well, it's pretty cool. The set comes in a flashy yellow sleeve, and includes an intentionally dog-eared novel inside; it's going for that mistreated library graphic novel look. And it's very cool. So yeah, take a look – if there's interest, maybe we'll show off some of the other cool press kits that we've accumulated over the years.

What was the word that you used in the phrase, "I'm pretty _____ nonetheless"? I feel dumb for asking but I didn't understand if it's British slang.
Wowsers, last time I heard about cool press copies was for Tearaway Unfolded almost a year ago, which apparently came with a snazzy papercraft PS4 controller (and I think maybe the soundtrack? Could be making that up cuz I'm a doofus).
Do you guys plan on doing this for all the cool press copies from now on sent or was this just an exception?
Ah, so cool. Would love something like that, was gutted I missed out on the Limited Edition version of NMS. Shouldn't have hesitated!
The sleeve looks green, just sayin'.
Bet you've got a nice little side-earner selling these on ebay Sammy!?
This game looks great, and I will probably get it - but I can't deny myself the view that the art direction rather sucks. It looks blocky, and quite plain. The color palette, from what I have seen, also seems to lack variation. Idk - hopefully once I play it things details will stand out a bit more.
@SegaBlueSky Hate you missed out on it bud, want me to post some pictures of mine when I get ho.e today? To soon??? Lol
@Majic12 Haha yeah definitely too soon mate, but enjoy I'll be joining in tomorrow once the digital version unlocks! Unfortunately though from the look of a video on YouTube it seems the PS4 theme kinda sucks (static rather than dynamic) but oh well.
@Bluetrain7 Only part of the video I can see where you might have heard that is about the four minute mark where he says "appreciated nonetheless". Guessing you just didn't catch it properly?
@Bluetrain7 : i'm hearing "appreciate it nonetheless"
My game came with a set of No Man's Sky postcards.
@SegaBlueSky Not A Completely Dynamic Theme, But The Background Music Is amazing
