I do like that on/off switch!

But change the packaging, the first thing that you should see is the console, not the other way around! Oh and nice big power brick

I was slightly confused by "the kinect is an IR blaster" part. I know that the Xbox One controls your satellite box by IR, but does this mean that the Kinect fires the commands out to your box? I was actually discussing this with a friend, does this mean that your Kinect beams out the signal and relies on it reflecting off the back wall onto your satellite box?

No, you want the heaviest component at the bottom, so when you stack them then don't crush the box. 

If you really want to see the console first, pull out the accessory box, then the console.  You can pull the accessory box out as a complete layer without unboxing everything in it.  Then unbox the accessory box.

Yeah, I'm guessing Kinect 2 emits a strong IR signal that reflects off of surfaces back into the TV or satellite/cable box. 

Why would it matter where the heaviest component was? If it was on the bottom, what would happen if you flipped the box? Would it not be on the top?

You've obviously never worked in a warehouse.

It would be on top, but it makes the box top heavy, and more subject to tipping.

Center of gravity.  Put the heaviest item on the bottom, you put the center of gravity lower, the box is more stable.  Not to mention the "top" of most boxes are designed to be stronger than the bottoms.  Those folded sides, for example, they create strength, but that strength is at the top of the box, not at the bottom. 

When you start stacking boxes on top of boxes, and you have a high center of gravity, any movement will cause them to tip over.  If you flip the box over, because you've loaded it "upside down", the bottom of the box will get crushed by the boxes on top.  Anything heavy you want on the bottom of a box.

Every pallet has a load pattern, every box has to be loaded in a certain way.  Doesn't matter what box, they all need to be loaded properly.
