It seems legit, but if you look at the picture, the "box" has a crease in it, as the folder does not. It can't be FCP, and like bearbo said, I also don't think that John Mayer would have any use for it for what he does.

does hi-fi have a apple logo on the side, somehow?

Yes, but the box is white and the apple logo is light grey, like an iMac box.

It could be the "folder" inside the inner FCP box. I don't know if other pro apps follow the same model as the FCP4 box I had, but there was an outer sleeve and the plain box with the folder inside.

Probably not the full FCP Studio...anyone know what the inner packaging of Logic Pro 7 looks like?

That's a possibility, but the folder wouldn't have that gap that's just to the left of the edge we see in the pic. That gap matches perfectly with a box that opens like a PB box. (But of course there are inconsistencies that make its identification as a PB box suspect as well.)

Edit: Okay, a closer look convinces me that it's possible that the "gap" I'm seeing could be the inner folder pulled out of the outer box just a smidge. Now, do we have some software that consists of only a single folder inside a box?
 
I got to thinking, maybe it's a G5 powerbook box? You know I did hear some rumblings about MWSF...and John Mayer has been known to take part in the past...;)
 
Just look at the original picture and the look at the folders. In the original picture, the "box' has a crease a little in, while the folders have no crease whatsoever.

Explain it or vouch with me.

Yes, that's what I tried to explain a bit in the edit on my last post. I can see how maybe the part to the left of that crease is a thin outer sleeve, while the part to the right is the inner sleeve just slightly pulled out. We've seen photos of Apple software packaged similarly, but I've yet to see something that would look exactly like this.

I've highlighted what I think is the crease:

It's the thick folder that is encased in a black box with is then is surrounded with a band of thick stock that has the outside packaging on it...I think my 2nd generation iPod and the iSight are packaged similarly.

Strangely...looking at the picture, there also appears to be the front end of a(nother) folder with white manuals just behind the box in question above the empty disc sleeve.

Thats not where the crease is.

And if it was, which it isn't, then where would that flappy thing be, hmm?

Also, the "box" is against the wall- there is no way that that is a FCP box, because the FCP box is very wide.

It is if it's the other crease, on the right side, and you rotate the box 90-some degrees clockwise.

The flappy thing gets folded into the box.

Maybe it's the Logic Pro box...

The boxes aren't glossy, are they?

The FCP 4 box was glossy...but I don't know about the innards of the current pro app boxes. Anyone have $999 handy so we can find out ASAP? :D

On a lighter note...that Mayer sure is a messy fella huh? His girl's body may be a wonderland, but that table is a mess!
