And when the fantastic dream faded away and you woke up, it was Christmas morning, and you realized you dreamt the whole thing....but wait...there's more.... You go to the brightly lit tree, and pray to Santa. "Please Santa please. I have been so good this year, so very good, and I deserve so much, but all I ask is for this one thing, let there be a sealed Alien Crush in my tree, for the love of God man, I know you have power and control over all!". You plunge your fist of pain into the Tree of Gifts, lightning crackles around your fist, and you retrieve your reward, a sealed Alien Crush. You open it with eager anticipation. Inside the case though you find the game was actually Tv Sports Basketball. Factory Mistake. Oops..

Nice. We should have a thread devoted to unboxing games.

Watching your video, it's always bugged me how Turbo boxes can't be opened without f*cking up that top flap. My OCD has reached the point where I've taken to gently lifting the whole top with a letter opener.
STATUS: Try not to barf in your mouth.

Many years ago I picked up the Japanese version of TV Sports Basketball--HOLY LORD ALMIGHTY, WHY?

I'm usually more careful, too, but it was awkward to (1) preserve the flap whilst (2) getting the damn thing open with one hand.

I actually hate unboxing videos because usually folks are haphazard and reckless with stuff (again, one-handed).

EDIT: The SCISSOR! Holy shite that thing was sharper than an Exacto knife and scratched my floor.

That's why he has a turboexpress, it does not have to be plugged in so it's "legal"

Purty cool, esteban, getting into the spirit of things, the Turbo Spirit that is! ;) So I vote you the 2nd greatest PCEFXer 'round here and I nominate you to be PCEFX's mascot as well. Where would this place be without your endless enthusiasm ?? I dunno how you do it, I just don't... You're unusually and perpetually happy...
