# Yes, but once the plastic wrapping is removed I like to smell it
I like the plasticy smell. The clear plastic wrapping around psp games is especially good.

one of those things that holds a CD/DVD in place in the case that doesn't break within 10 minutes or hold on to your disc so hard that you fear breaking it on removal?

That uses little latches to hold the DVds in place.

They don't break... but you can't get the bastards out without three hands to hold the latches down

Add to that, packaging on children's toys now seems to include masses of wire and plastic all sellotaped together like some kind of terrorist incendiary device

# Ah yes, I had that as well.
Had an impulse buy over Christmas, and blagged a 12" black RC Dalek from Woolies for £9.99.
the amount of wiring and plastic catches holding that on the cardboard was overdone to say the least.
Scissors, knives, scalpel. All were needed

before the writers strike, the companies that shrink wrapped the dvds made more money from the sale than the writer who wrote the film.
