Hmm, just realized that's it's kind of odd there isn't any marking on the box about it playing Blu-ray. I thought that was going to be a major selling point for the system, being the cheapest Blu-ray player available and all.

The pictures show two of the six sides of the box. For all we know, there could be a list of video game titles accompanied by screenshots on the back, a decent isometric image with a 3-5 selling points in bold on the front, and an ugly little table containing the system's specs and capabilities on one of the sides... leaving the last side for a duplicate of the Spiderman font side. Double-trouble.

Oh wow, I didn't even realize the front and back aren't even shown.

They did seem to take classes from the school of Apple, but they really haven't implemented them well.
