So for xmas I got a boxed power pad from my in-laws that they found in the closet. I never had one back in the day, so was surprised to see that the packaging was, well, exactly what you'd expect I guess. It is just that I already have a boxed one with completely different packaging (blue print on a white box). The one I had already is 'sealed' still, in more industrial seeming packaging with those big metal staples holding it shut. Here I'll just take a pic...

I'm guessing the white one was how it came bundled with the Power Set, but that's what I'd like to know.

Also, any value for the white boxed one I have above what a regular boxed one might go for on eBay?

There doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the two in price... loose ones can go for $20, but boxed ones go for less. eBay's weird.

I'd pay $20 for the one on top, and $30 for the one on the bottom (with game).

That is correct.

It was nice of your in-laws to go through all the trouble of opening their closet door to get you a gift. Still beats what I got, a 15$ gift card to applebees...

It was a pretty cool gift, actually, to me anyway. They also got me several other things, namely a counter-flow chiller for my homebrewing. They are about the coolest in-laws a person could have!
