Awful packaging. Especially the moulded plastic. Yuck.
Lol who cares. You open it and throw it away.

Ugly.
As much as gaming and accessories cost, I definitely keep the packaging of my stuff. Packaging, instruction manual on how to use the controllers even though I alreadyknow how, everything.
Has anyone mentioned how ugly the packaging is yet? I mean plastic and cardboard? Who fucking thought of that idea? Whoever did should be fired immediately.
I wouldn't be surprised if the share button ran into the same issues on PC as on PS3, but like I said they can always work around stuff like that eventually I'm sure. Nevermind that with key binding in the right games you can probably deal with it just fine.But currently it's fully functional plug and play for PC, minus the touchpad and sixaxis right?

Good example that came up recently - for Amazon's dualshock 4 trade in promotion, if you sent in a DS3 without a box, you recieved a fraction of the already tiny trade in value.Controller packaging? I can't even imagine... what exactly would you save? It's a ripped plastic shell when you're done, ugly for display, ugly for collection, ugly for anything really.
This packaging is definitely uglier than the DS3 packaging, but like... it's going in the trash for me. The packaging, that is. I understand saving console boxes sometimes, but the actual controller boxes.... that I don't ge. If many people save those, especially with how they're packaged nowadays, that's news to me. But I guess it shouldn't surprise me: some people save everything.
Quick someone go buy one and show us the goodies.
Because you feel like you're paying for the packaging? The packaging is usually worthless, no matter what the product costs. Free your mind!!!
WHY DO YOU PEOPLE HATE YOURSELVES.sexsay as fuck. They needs these back

Of course, people trading in controllers that came with their consoles were boned from the start haha
Are people seriously thinking about canceling their pre-order because they don't like the controller packaging?
Gaf is weird place.

Not a fan of the packaging. Just more reason to consider canceling my preorder.
Unbelievably easy to confuse with PS3 packaging on first glance, there's definitely going to be a big mess of returned controllers from confused consumers this holiday.
This is Sony's biggest misstep in the PS4 launch, branding in a console transition should be as idiot-proof as possible. There should be immediate, distinct differences in packaging color and style to neatly seperate the two gens' products and peripherals. But PS3's branding is blue with flowy patterns, PS4's branding is blue with slightly different flowy patterns, and the style of the packaging is near-as-damn identical.

As someone who not only has owned a PS3 and had to buy the controllers in these packages, but also as someone who has worked for SCE and has had to deal with these packages when dealing with in-store display units, blister packaging SUCKS ASS! I much prefer the current packaging with the cardboard surround.
