I'm about to go Larry David on this new 360 controller!

I thought I'd just make another thread complaining about impossible to open packaging.

There's this 360 SF4 Fightpad and a screwdriver is the only tool I have. I'm seconds away from actually stabbing the product in a fit of rage.

The 360 controller + PC wireless adapter combo is the absolute worst.  First big problem is that you have to cut the outline of the controller, so it's not just cutting a straight line around the edges.  The other is that the edges aren't flat and instead curve towards the back of he packaging, meaning you cut a weird angle.  It was well worth it since I got the bundle cheap and wireless 360 controller on my PC is awesome.

Box cutter.  Slit slit slit, done.  That's what I use on everything.

Same.  And after working in retail for forever, I totally know how to get pretty much anything opened in 5 seconds flat.

He'd be less angry if he had more hair. My patience is also receding with my hairline.

The other day my wife bought a Wii for the kids. The packaging was just like that, and even a pair of scissors produced some nasty pokes when I was trimming the edges. That stuff is horrible.

You guys are too old to still be having problems with shitty packaging. Use a goddamn knife or a box cutter.
