Hawty McBloggy Invites You to Play 
ALMOST happened to me…
Maybe they wanted to go wireless? LOL
If they wanted to go wireless then why did they buy a wired headset?
OH BECAUSE HE CUT THE WIRE! WIRELESS! BAHAHA!
Youze a very clever man.
Heh, whoops!
Quick, send it back!!!
I would laugh if those were A40’s
A40s don’t ship in ridiculous slice-your-wrists bubble packaging. It amazes me that this garbage is still acceptable. Amazon tried to help customers by providing alternatives but apparently not enough people wanted decent packaging.
I’ve taken advantage of that service before. It was really nice along with being environmentally friendly.
Oh my god… I always hurt my fingers opening stuff like this… (Cause I’m paranoid about this)
Ouch… that’s just painful… could use it as an ear warmer though :P
i hate those packages… but use some common sense! cut around the edge instead of straight into the product!
Those packagaes are evil, seriously, but if you’ve cut it at an angle that goes close to the wire to make an opening cut, then you should be expecting that to happen. It’s much more worth slicing off your skin with the incredibly sharp packaging than opening it there.
Poor W-hill W-heaton!
I didn’t think it would work, but somewhere on the inter-webz, I saw a suggestion to use a can opener on these hermetically sealed clamshell packages. Tried it and it actually worked.
you gotta admit that’s pretty funny. Those darn blister packs are a royal pain though and it’s not surprising that this happened.
I’m fairly certain there’s a special place in hell reserved for the inventor of the blister pack.
Also, what kind of an uber-geek is he if he can’t splice and solder that back together?
The kind of geeks that play…”sports games”.
*Shudders*
Can’t we just ban them from geekdom?
This is Wil Wheaton we’re talking about. Ensign Wesley Crusher. Master of the blogosphere. Guild leader of the Axis of Anarchy. I refuse to believe he’s the sort to play such games.
That why you use a knife and not scissors.
or just cut around the edge and not straight into the product
Orrrr just buy a plastic surgeon.

Srsly, for like $8 (american), think of all the clamshell packaging you come across. XD
It looks like he built up a bunch of pressure on the edge and then when that cut through… yeah. Wouldn’t happen with a plastic surgeon thingy.
Sorry if it looks like I’m trying to be a (really shitty) spambot or something… I just enjoy mine. =B
The soon to be mic spammer was too eager… -_-

I’m pretty sure they say not to cut those things open for a reason.
Again this raises the question:
WHAT THE MOTHER FUCK, PACKAGERS?
Why is this shit neccessary on EVERYTHING!
If I had a nickel for every time I cut my fingers opening one of these…*Shudders*
I’d have a LOT of nickels.
I’ve never conceived of Wil Wheaton being a smart guy
“Convinced myself of” not conceived. Birthing is ewey.
Conceived actually made more sense. According to the OAD, conceive means “form or devise in the mind.”
For a popular culture usage, remember Vizzini’s line in The Princess Bride, “Inconceivable!”
Note for next time: using the “Reply” button will nest responses so the relationship between comments is immediately clear. Not a problem here, but just a suggestion.
Woops! Getting only 4 hours of sleep will do that to me 8B
thats such a fail it’s almost a win XD
I swear it came out of the package that way!!!
F**king clamshell packaging.
AGREED
Well. There’s fail. Then there’s this. *facepalm*
I don’t think there’s anything else I can say besides “Wow. What a retard.”
Unless there was a good reason for this like the wire in the packaging got shifted around where it’s not supposed to be. But really, that’s just his own stupidity for not taking that into consideration.
Ha, ha, ha!!!
Nuclear blast proof packaging-1
Customers-0
That poor soul :’ (
OMFG
i cant breath, thats fucking hilarious
you gotta pay attention, omfg they fail, i’m gonna go pass out from laughing now XD
I hate the packaging. You cut yourself open with those. And they’re hard to open. (i did open one once with my 2 bare hands!). Seriously they should replace barbed wire with the packages
hahaha that sucks soo badddddd
Wow, its hard to believe some of us gamers still haven’t learned how to effectively do battle with this evil plastic foe. Maybe its because I have 5 kids who seem only to pick out all the toys that come in these, but I purchased a mini box cutter that I keep in a drawer just for these packages, as well as coming up with a technique for opening a majority of these with only my fingers, with no injuries to myself or the glorious item trapped inside. But, it really just could be the kids toys that gave me all the EXP in “Bastard Blister Pack Battle”.
Why is everyone blaming the packaging and not the gamer? Sure it sucks, but it’s their own fault.
Those packages aren’t that big a deal folks. I open them all the time with no problems or injury.
Show off.
;)
I’m sure the guy who this happened to feels bad enough -_-
