(Though, when I was a kid, I was a complete fool with it... I once would unbox in the car... And I once would throw out my dear video game boxes :'( ... Gahhh!!) Nice job with the LEGO pics :D !!

Well, during the unveiling of the gadget itself, when you first hold it in your hands from the box, all the sights, sounds, AND smells associated with this are what contribute to that unforgettable and very much cherished feeling.

However, you missed what I find to be one of the most treasured and memorable aspects of The Unboxing... I am speaking, of course, of The Scent. Be it a new home stereo system, a new phone or a new laptop, there is nothing quite so directly memorable as the scent first experienced, wafting from the Box, first captured at the Place of Creation and now set free to be experienced by You at the very Moment of the Unboxing. I don't know if it's true, but I understand that each olfactory neuron extends from the nose directly to the brain... perhaps in some, like us, it goes directly to the pleasure center... Hmmm, I wonder if any perfume has that Scent, of Freshly Unboxed Electronic Gear? Alas, no, I hope one would never be created... such things need to be savored for their rarity, not made common by everyday use...

Unboxing, unwrapping and first time boots, turnons and plugins are all sacred rituals. They should be cherished, treasured and enjoyed in secrecy of the ritual. This post violates trust one of the most valuable and formidable events in a life of a geek. And in the end of the post you dare to say that you will write about midnight launch? I am astonished! Shocked! Surprised! I feel torn apart with all my guts revealed to the whole common world, it doesn't feel like being naked in front of the crowd, it feels like being turned inside out ... Anyway, nice post. ;) I must say that I am a little bit disappointed by this post.

And in the end of the post you dare to say that you will write about midnight launch? I am astonished! Shocked! Surprised!

I feel torn apart with all my guts revealed to the whole common world, it doesn’t feel like being naked in front of the crowd, it feels like being turned inside out …

Anyway, nice post. ;)
