Purchase also depends on the design and "cool factor" of the box.
A new type of Pokemon TCG product has been announced called the "Plasma Storm: Elite Trainer Box." The box is clearly intended to help new Pokemon TCG players enter the card game, supplying all of the essentials one would need to begin playing such as Energy cards and deck supplies.
Each box comes with...
7 Plasma Storm booster packs
40 Pokemon TCG Energy cards
2 acrylic condition markers
6 damage-counter dice
A competition-legal coin-flip die
A player’s guide
A deckbox
A collector’s box to hold everything

As for the Plasma Storm Elite Box idea? It's a terrible one. Look, I'll show you.

...But there's no deck. It gives a new player absolutely everything to really get started...except for the deck.
Man, either they're really stupid or really annoying to market this.
