BD cellophane shrink wrapping ... $#@!

[Yeha-Noha]

I finally got Independence Day on Blu-ray. Of course, I couldn't wait to place it in my BD player. While trying carefully as possible to remove the shrink wrapping, I still managed to cut into the inner plastic layer, and unknowingly ripped away part of that as I removed the outer wrapping! I repaired it, if you can call it that, with some clear Scotch packaging tape. It worked but doesn't look like a work of art.

That's the first time this has happened but I came pretty close to that at other times. There should at least be a tab or something to pull and easily get that tight bugger off. I don't lack patience but I think the outer wrapping is very trying and puts it to the test!

I am an absolute stickler about my cases, inserts, discs ect. I absolutely can not stand the blu-ray cases that have the little flap to open before the case opens like with pirates 2 and No Country For Old Men. I managed to crease the top part of the insert to no country by prying open the darn flap. So tommy lee jones head has another big wrinkle in it >:[

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Every time i see one of those flaps on the side of the case, I somehow manage to pinch and cut myself.
I hate the bastards...

I actually had to get stitches in one of my fingers from those flaps. I got blood all over the case for A Scanner Darkly. ...which is really quite a shame since that case is pretty cool looking.
Im gonna probably start buying DVDs only now, JUST because of this. Maybe even sue the BDA.
/Sarcasm (by the way).

Honestly, The flaps arent annoying to me at all. I like them. . Makes them look more... Professional? I dont see what your problem with them is.

Can anyone photoshop a picture of cavemen trying to open a Blu-ray case by banging it against a sharp rock? That's what this thread is missing

Grab a Disc Wallet, toss your cases, problem solved. Just think of all the space you'll free up not having to store so many worthless cases.

that wont work, because then they will have a second pile next to the cardboard sleaves that no one will get rid of but dont like

thats why i like to slice the top edge so if i go to deep it just goes into the plastic but has not happend yet then you can do the shrink wrap and sticker all in one slice

Same way that i do it. The only case that i have had to replace was one of the Underworld movies, stupid flap thing broke in half during transit and wouldn't close.

I damaged NCFOM and Casino Royale while attempting to remove the cellophane wrapper and seal.

Does anyone else get this? Sometimes when I buy a BD and am driving back home from BB, the sunlight reflects off the blu-disk case's cellophane nearly blinding me. I almost hit the car next to me on the freeway a couple weeks ago as it temporarily blinded me!

Cant they make less reflective cellophane wraps so as to avoid personal injury or death?

[DetroitSportsFan]

Wow, two threads about cellophane in a day.

Paramount and Universal really need to make some announcements.

This is precisely why I have all my BD's shipped to my home. I NEVER, EVER buy them in a retail store and drive home with them in my car. Auto safety is #1 in my book. Yessiree.

[elmo]
