Dual Shock 3 Packaging = Devil's Work

[MrAngryFace]

Wtf, the scissors I have couldnt handle it. It took a screwdriver, a hammer, and 5 minutes to get the fukin thing out.

[Narag]

All this to watch movies. 

[MrAngryFace]

well, I have a PS3 with hardware BC, so its for ps2 games lol

Plastic packaging is getting worse and worse. I bought a iPod shuffle a couple of weeks ago for the gym. I worked up a sweat just trying to get the thing unpackaged. Worry about theft all you want, but as time goes on I think the stores should have to open these things for you.

[MrAngryFace]

If stores offered the service of opening this shit for me id pay extra for it

[Van Cruncheon]

i have done more phsyical harm to myself trying to get into plastic packaging than in 12 years of martial arts

[Bocsius]

I bent a car key trying to get the iPod out. It was the closest thing around.

It's OK, I had a spare. The bent key still works, though, with some effort.

[Van Cruncheon]

my company's hardware packaging is among the worst :'(

i have a two-inch long gouge in my left palm from controller packaging

[Eel O'Brian]

i have said it before and i'll say it again

get yourself a good pair of kitchen shears

they are designed to cut through bone, they'll glide right through heat welds in plastic

[Van Cruncheon]

i do have a pair!

[Cormacaroni]

anyone tried opening the 360 wireless wheel? holy jumping christ. Ocean's freaking Eleven couldn't get that thing out in under 5 minutes.

[Bloodwake]

Eel is correct.

Kitchen Shears = no more worrying about plastic. I had my Dualshock out in about two minutes.

There is a tool for this. I saw it advertised on slickdeals.net.

The fact that you might have to buy shit to open shit you have already purchased is sad.

[Sysgen]

Cordless Power Scissors, that's it.

The Japanese version has a cardboard backing that just slides out....

[Human Snorenado]

Is there a good reason for packaging that no one can open?

prole:  i cut the shit out of my hand trying to open mouse packaging.  I almost had to get stitches :'(

Theft prevention is the reason, pretty much every other country/region uses sane packaging.

One good thing I have learned in all my years of retail ninja-dom is how to open shit in obnoxious packaging in no time flat.  I generally use a knife. Or a box opener.

Like weak points on a boss, you've got to locate them with your "Analyze" ability and exploit said weakness with Blizarra or Fira, Thundara doesn't work since we're dealing with plastic here.

I just use Bufu or Agi.

[MrAngryFace]

I think the DS3 packaging requires at least Bufudyne or Agidyne

[BlueTsunami]

Wtf, I dont' know these terms

[drohne]

getting my slim psp out of its impregnable blister pack was a fucking ordeal. i don't even remember how i did it -- though i do remember going through several ineffective cutting implements. at least with a controller you don't really care if you scratch it a bit

[Van Cruncheon]

the packaging is strike and slash resistant, use pierce attacks only
