Even the packaging is inhaling.

The killer hand cutting plastic returns. Dammit.

IJoel · Oct 11, 2005

We'll need one of these to open those damn packages:

MightyHedgehog · Oct 11, 2005

I really hope the people who came up with the irritatingly evil combination of blister packs made of really strong plastic and the almost-impossible-to-open-without-drawing-a-pint-of-blood seals on them have all of their fingers lopped off. I can't stand that packaging.

I feel your pain

I still got battle scars from my fight with my Gamecube controller packaging.

Zeo · Oct 11, 2005

At least they look alright.

The people on that forum are a bit too excited about it though.

"SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That's about the only way.

Fuck that...I like using my Ginsu knives for those bitches. It may be painful, but after the bleeding from your hands stops, it's kind of a cool rush once you know you successfully liberated the trapped item.

TheQueen'sOwn · Oct 11, 2005

Damn.. half the fun of opening things is tearing away the cardboard backing. This kind of packaging makes me want to kill myself.

APF · Oct 11, 2005

I like the design, it's actually understated IMO and interestingly most of the packaging mimics the "gesture" of the inhale pretty well--but this one kinda butts against the paradigm and makes it look like a bloated stomach.

I've found the wirecutters I keep in my guitar kit (for snipping old strings) to be the best.

cvxfreak · Oct 11, 2005

Japanese packages for the win.

sc0la · Oct 11, 2005

looks 3rd party imo.

I hate that shit too. I once sliced the fuck out of my hand trying to open a fourth controller for mario party. Bled all over the place. Are you happy Mario?

Cerebral Palsy · Oct 11, 2005

Ready to go.

EB Guy · Oct 11, 2005

They aren't sealed on the sides, tape is holding it together. I hope they don't leave it that way.

newsguy · Oct 11, 2005

Did you take that guy's avatar or did they change your screename? One of these is enough KTHX.

EB Guy · Oct 11, 2005

As if I was the only one to do that.

TAJ · Oct 11, 2005

Nice. Those shots could really have benefitted from a tripod, though. (and no flash)

Demigod Mac · Oct 11, 2005

To open these you need:

1) Big scissors
2) Patience

Not that hard. You only end up bleeding if you rush the job.

bbyybb · Oct 11, 2005

I will use my friend to help me open the packaging

but it's not changing anytime soon so I guess I gotta grin and bear it.

Nice thing European controllers had normal package, i.e., boxed in a normal box.

Yusaku · Oct 11, 2005

What's the deal with the blue and orange accents on the wifi adapter box?

Also: <img-sharp_object.jpg>

Beer Monkey · Oct 11, 2005

My leatherman eats these bitches for breakfast.

vatstep · Oct 11, 2005

It sucks that you kind of have to mutilate these packages to get them open, because if you decide you want to return the thing, you either can't or you need to pay a fee.

Sapiens · Oct 11, 2005

Im with the scissors gang. Just cut the top off and pry it open. fun. This is really not a problem....well maybe only for those who like to collect packaging.

mutsu · Oct 11, 2005

what's with these hard plastic stuff lately?

at least the console itself isn't wrapped with plastic covering!!

DopeyFish · Oct 11, 2005

the wireless items have a striped bar at the top if anyone cares

Right on. I've got a Kershaw Ken Onion Blackout. Kershaw's are great! Extremely sharp blades; nice steel.

Thats because its a wired remote.

Hey, it's better than the yellow PS2 packaging.

Hell yeah, I really like Ken Onion knives. I was going to get the Blackout, then saw the half serrated, stainless Leek; felt and looked nicer for me. Blackout is still a great knife. These blister packs don't stand a chance.

Fun fact: I got my knife at Ross Cutlery, downtown LA, same place O.J. got his!

That is the worst looking shit ever... I mean come on yellow...

White, blue, black whatever... but Yellow..

Truelize · Oct 11, 2005

I just shoot those packages open with a shotgun. If you do it right you hardly even hit the contents.
