My $300 Tissot came in a nice box similar to what I mentioned above and to see a $1500 keyboard in that cardboard polystyrene junk is just a joke.

Ironic that they mention it so considering what it is (or what it isn't/should be).]]>Sep 2nd 2007 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/Sep 2nd 2007 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/Sep 2nd 2007 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/Sep 2nd 2007 8:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/Sep 2nd 2007 3:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/Sep 2nd 2007 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/Sep 2nd 2007 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/Sep 2nd 2007 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/02/boxing-the-optimus-maximus/

1. Vista is incomplete.
2. Vista is expensive
3. Vista needs new hardware.
4. Windows XP Isn't Obsolete

And when it finally comes out, the glossy white finish and styrofoam will have been axed out of cost concerns.

Oh, and the price will have risen to $1,800.

He had said that he would just buy that cheaper one, and gave a link. Now it just makes it look like I'm making a totally random comment without that post.

As for this particular box -- wow. It's like they're trying to emphasize the keyboard's awe-inspiring awesomeness with the generic OEM packaging there. "Look at how well this box contrasts with the keyboard. See? Bland, awesome. Bland, awesome. It's genius!"
