I find them about as exciting as watching dogsh*t dry out.

No, I could care less to watch someone else unbox an item.

They're not good usually, spending too long showing the manual or reading numbers on the outside of the box itself, those never good.

I used to. Back then when the PSP was announced I went ape sh*t on that I was a teen with no job and it was fun saving up and watching every preview and unboxing videos. Before I started posting, I still remember the On the Spot where Ricardo, Ryan M, and Rich Gallup had Japanese PSP's playing Ridge Racer. I also went crazy for the Wii. Nintendo was so slow at releasing info for it and I loved all the unboxing videos for it. I even lined up 5 hours for it.

I find unboxing videos stupid. I LOVE the joy of opening a brand spanking new item, because rarely I get one. I bought a pvr yesterday and didn't get that fancy new-thing feeling though, unfortunately. Probably 'cause it cost me money and I didn't want to think about that.

I don't like watching unboxing videos. However, I did like unboxing my mail order bride when she arrived last week.

It feels exhilarating. I recently received a package of Deadpool Classics #1-5, thus completing my collection from #1 to #7. I haven't been this happy in some time now.

This makes me want to buy a Lego set. Don't know why but I need to build something... :P

I find them incredibly silly and pointless unless they've received an advance copy of something.

I think they are useful for a product you might be interested in buying. Has made the decision for me when deciding on two different monitors, for example.

Depends on the item. If its a gaming item I'm interested in buying I might watch the unboxing. You get a better perspective of what you're getting. Last unboxing video I watched was TE arcade stick.

I hate it when your actually trying to find footage of whatever thing your buying to make a decision and then you find out that it's just an unboxing video like guitars or music equipment or games on rare occasions and you never actually see them using it or playing it.

I do.

Unboxing something new and watching someone else do it is strangely satisfying for me.

Usually I watch them to see what comes in the box, what size something is, etc.

I take video's of big expensive items like Instruments or electronics. But I don't put them on the Internet. I do it just in case there is damage during shipping I have proof that it wasn't caused by me.

If it's something like a collector's edition for a game with items aside from the game box than I will watch. People that unbox a single game and show the manual and stuff are just dumb.

I like it when I unbox my own packages or items.
