Unboxings really are the worst tech videos... 
It's just teasing. We know exactly what's in the box already

A plastic box coming out of a cardboard box. If you're waking up at 5am for this, and it's not part of your daily routine, then you need to reassess your life. It's a comfortable 7pm for me, but I still have zero interest in this.

Fuck yes! I love unboxing videos.

Interrupting my day just to watch a person opening a box for a product I have already bought and will receive just 3 weeks after and I’ll do that myself? Yeah fuck no. I have a more interesting life that this thankfully. I might see it whenever I want to see it. Not setting an alarm. fuck that.
The latter. I mean, I have a PS5 on preorder, but I'm sure as heck not waking up at 5am for an unboxing...

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
I’m guessing there’s a PS5, a joypad and some cables in the box?

I will never understand unboxing videos, they're like Mukbang or Grocery halls; completely pointless and serve no purpose. It's a box, with another box inside of it. You already know what that box looks like, how it functions and what it comes with. They aren't even allowed to power up the system and play on it in the video, so what critical commentary are they going to provide? If the cardbord feels sturdy or not? If they used enough polystyren?

Why on earth would people want to watch somebody taking a PS5, or any other gaming console for that matter, out of a box?, even more so when you consider the console is not far from release and it's always better to have the first reveal of the thing in person, all the fun is taken away with stuff like this.

As opposed to posting on a forum about how stupid unboxing videos are? You must be so cool amongst your friends.

Run along and get your sleep child. Let us know how he removed the instruction manual from the box, did he use his left or right hand. And in what manner did he place the power cable on the desk the box is placed on.
I really can't wait.

I doubt that very much, it's a look at me video for money, oh and while I am at it I will push the strong "Black lives matters" message, for a little extra edge.

Nope. You’ll get a long (for maximum ads revenue) with over the top fake reaction to get the most views. It is a fucking box.

Definitely one of the bigger Playstation fanboys out there.
But I have no issue with that.

It's "JUST" an unboxing... I would be hyped for a hands on... not for this. (and look at my avatar...)
Is A LOT more important the teardown than this... this is just getting the console out of a box you won't see anymore once you take it out.
I used to keep the box... out of value more than to return the thing if it fails... but I got rid of that gamer tourette syndrome and I don't keep trash anymore

2020 continues its wrath.
2 companies realising powerful next gen consoles and here we are 10+ days out... Waiting for them to post videos of them taking it out of cardboard boxes.

Mate if you have no interest in this topic or participating in the conversation, you can leave the thread.
No one forced you to comment here. Don't be a dick to those who have an interest in unboxing videos.

I think, in general, I doubt many actually are sitting on the edge of their seat about the box and the contents of the box itself. I mean, we've seen the contents listings, top/bottom/sides of the box and all of the information they provide. I personally believe that watching an unboxing of a product people are interested in or will be buying satiates some need to get even more looks at the products again and cementing just how close we are to launch. In this case, viewing in a way that they will literally experience themselves.
I can't say whether that is necessary, or even whether it makes sense. It just is.
