I think we’ve all been here.  You get your hands on a hot new gadget and you want to tear it open and start playing with it right away!  Then, you get to the box.  Apparently, the average new DVD or remove control or pack of batteries is as valuable as the gold in Fort Knox, so it gets protected like gold in layers of difficult-to-tear plastic, tie-downs, and other irritants that stand between you and your gadget.

Here’s a guy who feels your pain.  He’s got his new Apple Remote, he wants to be all cool and do one of those awesome unboxing videos that make all the geeks and gadget-heads drool, and then he runs into the packaging problem.  Coolness destroyed; tickets booked for first-class passage on the failboat to Pwnville.

I really can’t mock this guy; I think we’ve all been there.  I’ve just never gotten my failed attempts at opening up video game packages or new headphones on video!  I’d say keep practicing, but you’re getting more famous for failing than you would have for a smooth unboxing!
