A physical release or copy of something is designed to look like it's from another medium; for instance, a DVD case that looks like a comic book cover. Common examples tend to involve covers designed like comic books or movie posters. This practice is especially prevalent with music albums, due to the packaging often being the only visual accompaniment they have. Sometimes it's a specific homage to something or other, but it's this trope if the image has the trappings of a typical cover for that other medium, such as credits at the bottom of a "movie poster" cover for a game. |

Kirby Super Star: The Japanese box art is designed to resemble a traditional Paulownia wood box, which in Japan is typically used to package high-quality alcohol and silverware. The idea came from Shigesato Itoi, who felt that it would convey the game's "richness." | |

While they're digital-only, The Jackbox Party Pack had individual games in the first 3 packs appear as board game boxes in the main menu. However, they got more creative afterwards: Party Pack 4: Fibbage 3 is a 70s vinyl record cover, Monster Seeking Monster is a wooden coffin, Survive the Internet is a CD-Rom in its jewel case, Civic Doodle is a spray paint set, and Bracketeering is a Nintendo 64-esque game cartridge. Party Pack 5: Split the Room is an old analogue TV, Mad Verse City is a toy robot package, Patently Stupid is a recruitment poster with stubs where the phone number goes and Zeeple Dome resembles the box of an Atari 2600 game from Activision. Averted with You Don't Know Jack: Full Stream, which is the Jack Head mascot in a Binjpipe-branded space helmet. Party Pack 6 does this on top of a bathroom theme: Trivia Murder Party 2 is a bottle of pitch-black complimentary lotion from the Murder Hotel, Dictionarium is an actual dictionary with bat wings, Push The Button is a bathtub drain with alien tentacles slithering through, Joke Boat is a toy replica of the S.S. Sea Minus, and Role Models is an inflated rubber glove. Party Pack 7 changes it up by portraying the games with massive parade-style balloons resembling characters or themes from the games. Quiplash 3 has the yellow three-haired avatar alongside the title, while Champ'd Up has the purple champ with the fish on his head and the title on his belt. Party Pack 8 does it differently again, presenting the games as different styles of cake. Job Job doesn't seem to follow this at first, looking like a regular briefcase, until you squint and realize that the metal casing is actually chocolate. |

Like Borat, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) also styled its DVD release after a bootleg (to fit Lisbeth Salander's hacker background), but with official Sony iconography; this also led to confusion and complaints among buyers who mistakenly felt as if they were duped into buying a phony copy of the movie. | |

Steal This Album! by System of a Down is styled after a CD-R, complete with a total lack of liner notes. Unlike the DVD releases of Borat and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which were so accurate that buyers believed that they were actual bootlegs, the disc art for Steal this Album! made enough deviations from actual CD-R labels to ensure that consumers understood the joke. | |

Two were based on magazine covers (one Rolling Stone, the other Heavy Metal), one on a movie poster (that of Pulp Fiction, complete with a real live model), one on an ad for a TV show (namely The Brady Bunch), and the last one on a Victoria's Secret catalogue.

Freedom Force is an homage game to the golden age of superhero comics. This is plainly apparent from the comicbookesque cover, storytelling (complete with comic book boxes and narrative style) as well as the loading screens which portray the 'issue' of the next level, often in the misleading way of comic book cover gimmicks to boost sales. | |

The now iconic album cover of Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company looks like a comic book image. It was even designed by underground comic artist Robert Crumb. Sesame Street of all things designed the artwork for the now rare 1994 cassette Cheep Thrills as a homage to Cheap Thrills (hence the name). |

The packaging for Borat made it look like a cheap, foreign bootleg rather than a polished official DVD release. The disc itself looks like a blank disc that was recorded over, with the movie's title written on it in marker and the logotype & slogan parodying those of Memorex (i.e. "is live? No. Demorez," in place of "is it live or is it Memorex?"). The DVD menus also look like they have been whipped up in five minutes with no budget. It serves to highlight the film's Mockumentary status. This infamously resulted in a swath of confusion among consumers who weren't in on the joke, leading to retailers receiving a number of complaints from buyers who thought they had purchased an actual bootleg. | |

The retail release of the first Postal game was modeled after an actual mail package, albeit shot to pieces. | |

Bodycon Quest I is an unlicensed action RPG game for the Famicom Disk System (an "erotic" Dragon Quest sort-of parody) whose packaging was shaped like a VHS tape case◊, probably imitating the style of hentai anime tapes of the era. | |

Homestar Runner has done this a few times with CD/DVD releases: Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits is printed on a CD that looks like a CD-R from Videlectrix, a company usually known for Fictional Video Games (and they take credit for non-fictional Homestar games too.) Everything Else, Volume 3 is packaged like an Activision Atari 2600 game, complete with Retraux menus and screenshots depicting the included cartoons as Atari 2600 games. The Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People has a reversible cover reminiscent of Atari's own 2600 games, and a DVD that looks like another Videlectrix CD-R, this time one for the game's source code. |

The Rod Stewart compilation Sing It Again Rod is designed to look like a glass of whiskey, complete with the sleeve being die-cut in the glass shape. It still included Rod's Face on the Cover - he's seen through the other side of the glass, as though the listener were seated across from him at a bar. | |

Fitting with the game's late-nineties Internet pastiche, The Sounds of Hypnospace Audio Tour — a bonus mini-CD packaged with Hypnospace Outlaw — is designed to resemble a free trial CD for an online service. It comes in a cardboard sleeve that advertises it as "year 2000 ready", and the disc art is printed directly onto the disc in monochrome, like older CD-ROMs. | |

The Best of Classic Game Room was originally intended to be released on LaserDisc, but series creator/host Mark Bussler could not find a way to make it happen, so as a compromise he released the series as a 4-disc "Laser Hyper Vision Blu-Ray Album Set", including a Blu-Ray of the compilation, a DVD version split into two discs, and a DVD copy of the series' "Making Of" documentary The Rise and Fall of Classic Game Room, all packaged in a LaserDisc-size sleeve. | |

The box art for Pop Team Epic's Japanese anime releases are themed after specific movie posters, reflecting the series' Reference Overdosed style. The DVD releases depict the characters in their usual Puni Plush art style, while the Blu-ray releases have them drawn in a much more detailed and realistic style. This is itself a Call-Back to a similar joke in the manga. The first season's cover art is, hilariously enough, themed after the posters for the Die Hard films; the first volume is themed after the original movie, the second is themed after Die Hard 2: Die Harder, and the third is themed after Die Hard with a Vengeance. The TV special's cover art is themed after◊ the poster◊ for First Blood, as a significant portion of the special is a Rambo parody. The second season's cover art is themed after the posters for the Back to the Future trilogy. Unlike the others, they didn't keep up the "realistic art style for the Blu-ray releases" gag (since this season wasn't released on DVD), though the third has Yuichi Nakamura depicted in live action to match a certain gag in the last episode of the season. |

The DVD case of Titan Maximum is based on a comic book cover, including top left corner inset. It seems specifically inspired by 1980s Marvel toy/TV cartoon tie-in comics. | |

The DVD releases for The Lord of the Rings Extended Editions were designed to look like aged books. The Middle-Earth Limited Collector's Edition included The Hobbit trilogy, which had the discs of each film in literal books that were grouped in a wooden bookshelf. | |
