> are we really expected to keep all of that packaging in case of warranty issues? Depends on where you live and your consumer protection laws. In some places there are laws/rulings stating that no, you don't need to keep original packaging - especially for statutory minimum warranties. If there are no laws it's up to the discretion of the seller.
