chrixx claims that that’s a 10kg (22 lbs) wooden pallet. See what I’m getting at? He orders a tiny thing, something that should only weigh “barely 300g”, and he ends up with this monstrosity: “…I had to drag this pellet [sic] from my apartment lobby, into the lift, out of the lift, into my home, cut it open, remove the contents and discard all the junk packaging.”

I think chrixx shouldn’t complain about removing the contents of the box – come on man – but damn HP. Your packaging peeps must have been high or bored when they processed this, because all that chrixx ordered was…

… a power cord. How about it guys? You think this is real or what?

The LetterLogger is small enough to be concealed inside of a standard #10 business envelope, yet contains sophisticated GPS and motion-sensing technology which can record every movement along the letter’s travels. Not only can it record the precise position and timing of each location, but its motion sensors can detect the amount of time when the letter is sitting still, which could help ferret out wasted time during the delivery process.

They should slap one of these directly on every mail carrier too. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some delays at the neighborhood bar, donut shop and strip club.

Check out the massive box. And I thought my Xbox 360 box was big!

Here’s another shot of PS3 getting boxed up:

You can see the full set of photos here.

Hopefully this is a good sign that actual PS3 are being completed for shipment this fall, and that the hardware is truly in final form.

P.S.: I saw a comment from a Digg user that I thought was very appropriate though: “Actually, those pics are of the entire stock of PS3′s that Japan is getting.”
