Console peripheral blister packs

[Gemini-Phoenix]

How do they expect you from getting into these blister packs first off? They are a sod to get into, and usually end in you completely destroying the packaging.

Is that their intention? Why do they make it so hard for us?

The PS2 peripherals are the worst - I remember a time when controllers came in a similar looking package, but ones which were easially sliped off of the card backing...

Hell, I remember my first layStation analog pad coming in a card box - None of this blister pack crap.

Same with memory cards, and now I have had to wrestle my network adapter and a remote control out of a blister pack!


GameCube peripherals come in box's though, which is the other end of the scale - These are easially damaged (Like early Nintendo games prior to the GameCube)

Since a game maker makes most of its money on the perferials, its in their best interest for them to not be so stealable. If they can get those packages off in 5 seconds bye bye product.

The blister packs arnt all that bad to get into. Just get a razor blade and be sure not to go swipe happy near the cords or anything.

haha i was just thinking that last night as i was trying to open up 2 gamecube remotes and a new ps1 dual shock. I HATE THESE THINGS!

i tried cutting around and reaching in and almost cut myself with the plastic, i wish they would package peripherals like nintendo packaged the snes controllers. that was cool.

also gamecube stuff also comes in blister packs here in teh states. i agree with you completely though, blisters suck.





happy christmas and merry new year

Does not exist it says! Lol! LOL


The point I was getting at is they make the packs so you have to practically destroy them. In that state they are pointless keeping, so you end up throwing them in the bin.

I actually like to keep my packaging for things, so I don't like it when they do this.

And I am very resourceful and have discovered that it is possible to get in them with the minimum of damage if I use a penknife. Still, it still looks a state afterwards.
