Comes in a plain box without the wording and picture outside. Much cheaper. Recommend it. My first free package purchase. Going forward, I'd buy it again .

I purchased the cheaper e-commerce version and it has everything in the video. "two cooking racks, two baking pans (one large/one small), broiler rack and rotisserie accessories".

I got them together and dont remember having had to make an extra payment for the software, so i guess the short answer is no but in the other hand is not bad news because it comes included, meaning there is no extra charge. best.

Just the packaging as I understand it... Less frills in the package = lower price

Frustrating free packaging is when you don't need heavy duty scissors and tools to get the toy out of the box and you can play with immediately. Retail package is when it take twenty minutes to release the toy from the box that it came in due to all the screws, ties, straps etc. and strength.

In case anyone else is wondering about the frustration free packaging and rebate, I can report that I just received the rebate in a prepaid visa card. I had ordered the frustration free packaging, I cut out the big UPC label on the box, and also printed the invoice from the amazon website. It seems that everything worked out.

Standard packaging is the thick, secured plastic packaging you may find at a local store. It's the packaging you have to use some super scissors or a razor blade to cut through...and hopefully not slicing your finger. Hence, the frustration-free packaging which is a cheaper packaging. If you owned a store front, you may want to get the standard packaging to minimize people stealing your product...however, if you are like me who is just buying the product...it's a nice alternative that reduces your cost of the exact same product.

Frustration free packaging means the product is not shipped in the normal package you would get off the shelf of the store. It is often easier to open/unpack and has less to throw out.

Hi Cara, Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging (FFP) is an initiative designed to alleviate "wrap rage" by featuring products in recyclable boxes that are easy to open and contain fewer excess materials.NetRush

frustration free is basically an easy to open box. Retail packaging is the semi hard plastic packaging that is sealed and requires you to cut into it to open it. Frustration free is the way to go unless you plan to resale it.

I was wondering the same thing. Obviously one difference is price, in which I'm going with the cheapest!

I purchased with Frustration Free packaging. There was a bar code. However, submitting the rebate, I received a letter from Oral-B stating that barcode was ineligible and my rebate was denied. Select Retail packaging for the rebate.

"Frustration-Free Packaging is an Amazon initiative designed to alleviate "wrap rage" by featuring products in recyclable boxes that are easy to open and contain fewer excess materials." That's from Amazon's FAQ:

You ask a good question and one that I posed to Amazon before making this purchase recently. Unfortunately, Amazon staff could not provide clarity, but I'm pleased to let you know that the item comes perfectly sealed from Apple. In this case, what frustration free packaging means is simply that the item comes in a box specifically made to support (protect) this item in transit. That's all. I'm very pleased that the item was in the same condition it would have been in had I purchased it directly from Apple.

It says frustration Free...it means package is easy to open! isn't that just a stupid way to write "easy to open"??

I DON'T think that the different boxes have anything to do with refurb's. Neither Amazon nor Logitech is that stupid. I think this is either Amazon or Logitech, or both - are clearing out their warehouse(s) of the 10s. The 'blister' and 'black w/Velcro' packaging pre-date the 'silvery-blue' box. The easiest way to establish if your toy came from the later production runs??? Does your toy include "Comply" tips??? If not, then YOUR toy has been bouncing around for awhile. Only the latter (approx. last 18 months) runs have the "Comply" bud cushions. The prior runs have those useless (IMHO), yellow foam cushions- which where replaced by the preferable "Comply" cushions. Hope this helps- best, a. UPDATE 12.05.10 @ 3.30AM Eastern: PO dropped it off today; I got a VERY THIN black presentation box with a velcro dot, this box is inside a stronger cardboard box. This is NOT the 'old' black box, this might be Amazon's frustration free packaging. The black box comes across VERY cheap, considering that this is suppose to be a $400 item- the black box communicates SUPER CHEAPNESS! The item is NEW, the exterior cardboard box makes the packaging satisfactory for transport, but the interior black box DOESN'T communicate that this is a premium product. I've received $20 no-name china 'toys' in superior, more impressive packaging. BTW, the cardboard box was sent in a shipping box, so there are three boxes in total. Considering that it's the earbuds that count, not the box- I'm OK. BUT if I'd paid the usual $300+ - I would be very upset at the tissue-paper quality of the black box. So may I suggest that you forget about the packaging and simply enjoy the magnificent 10s! a.

Bulk doesn't come in fancy clamshell packaging. Just put in a small plastic bag inside a non descript box. Price difference was more tha $10 less when I purchased the bulk so I went with that. Same product, just different packaging. Think of the equivalent of amazons frustration free packaging. Product works great
