I'm glad you asked this question. Recently I needed to purchase CD burning software and did some searching online for a product to suit my needs. So I have some very recent thoughts relevant to this question.
Why would users/potential customers want to see an image of the product box? Especially since many of them will purchase the downloadable version. Here's some alternative ideas: - testimonial videos - short testimonials from real customers (last.fm used to have some great, punchy rollover videos on their site) - screenshots from the software (as Brad has already mentioned) to give the customer a feel for the interface - conceptualised task flow diagrams - to help show how simple/quick/easy it is to get things done with the software. No more product box shots...please! ;) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
