Ya know, few things give me a "we're too consumerist" vibe the way an "unboxing" video does, especially since if I'm going to buy it, I'm probably going to unbox it myself.
To fold the universe in on itself a bit more, it gets really bizarre when a company does an unboxing video for their own product. What that basically means is that company had a factory and several assembly line workers box the product only to take it apart right afterwards. I'd actually be a lot more interested in a "how it's made" video.
I actually do like the cloth map thing though. I got the pure digital version with the digital map (as a bonus with my Kickstarter donation to Torment), but until I get myself a tablet of some sort, such things aren't yet convenient enough to use.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
