I like BluRay and buy it when I can. This week I got The Office Season 5 and the wife got me this a few weeks ago for our anniversary:



I of course love the series, but that is by far the worst packaging I have ever seen and the first disc of each season you have to listen to the executive producer rant on before every episode.

The packaging is so bad I would have just considered not getting it in the first place if I knew it was that bad.  The thing is a giant box that doesn't fit anywhere but that isn't what makes it so horrible (it's actually cool how the box opens), the part that makes it so horrible is actually taking the discs out.  Each season comes in a seperate smaller box with the discs inside the box in their own sleeves.  These sleeves are attached to the actual box and are so deep and close together that you can't actually grip the disc and are too tight to easily slide out (I can take pictures later showing if people need it).  That means you have to press down on the disc and drag it out over every disc. 

It's horribly inconvenient (so much so I almost don't want to watch it anymore) and I know I'm eventually going to scratch a disc while taking one out.  It really is just terrible.
