Magic: The Gathering unboxing flips out as $25,000 card turns up

October 15, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think you’d have to be a hardcore Magic: The Gathering fan to watch an unboxing. Yup; even if it’s a competition to win a card and even they’re opening an alpha starter pack. So how come we’re approaching 1.5m people watching this video? Not a single ad on it either. Right at the end […]

Dungeons & Dragons 5e Starter Set unboxing

June 25, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

An unboxing video! But wait… hear me out. Unboxing this D&D 5e Starter Set is Mike Mearls himself, Greg Bisland and a Disembodied Voice. This is more than an unboxing then. This is a recording of a walkthrough of the components by the team who made the box. Why are there two books in the […]

This is the OUYA developers will get

December 28, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

This video shows the developers’ edition of the Ouya leaving its box. Over a thousand have been shipped which might be why the company is saying that any gamer who’s lept in this early will not find any games yet. The developers’ edition is transparent plastic. The main version of the Ouya will not be. […]

The most dangerous unboxing ever

September 23, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Some people may have grown tired of unboxing videos. I understand why. That said; someone can always build a better box. Combine that mysterious box with the fact that it was sent to Valve, the makers of some wonderful computer games, and suddenly the unboxing gets interesting again. Could this be an unboxing for science, […]

November 22, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

It feels like early days for Mass Effect 3 still – the game from BioWare isn’t due out until March 2012. I haven’t even seen any news on what the special edition contains – however, there is this video. I’ve stepped through the announcements – here’s what’s inside the the Mass Effect 3: N7 Collector’s […]

Samsung Central Station Wireless Monitor: Unboxing goes horribly wrong

October 4, 2011 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What’s your view on unboxing videos? Some people wish they would crawl off to the plane of Lawful Evil and die. Other people point out there’s a huge difference between unboxing videos which really just show a product coming out of a box and those unboxing videos that go a step further and show the […]

Mega unboxing: Looking inside the Halo Reach Legendary Edition

September 15, 2010 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Halo Reach Legendary Edition arrived, on time, at the humble flat and Rainbow One took many pictures of the unboxing. It’s a very  large box. The controller game in a separate delivery! Not yet decided where/if we can put the models. They may need to be returned to the box. However, the initial impressions are “wow” […]
