It's really the fault of that guy who sent me that ruined Saturn game. We should send him the bill for your Katamari.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Gamestop employee told me about the 360 cases when I relayed my PS2 story, buying a replacement.
I would (with disc removed) vice grip squeeze slightly or dremel those notches.
What a crap design this is, (ducking for cover) Disc based pre DRM limit of use due to damage?

Ironically, I think that it IS a form of DRM. I'm pretty sure they designed it that way to make it difficult for thieves to inconspicuously loot the disc from the case in store.

Unless the store owners are retarded, most cases on shelves are dummy cases with nothing inside them.

I did the "Plier" squeeze affect with my fingers on a few of my tight Gamecube disc holders. Don't care if discs are just loosely held by the hub, cases not going to be shipped to Alaska or placed in a paint shaker, just in the shelf. Games discs slip out easy now. Same principle may work on those 360 cases.
Damage Risk The movie or game disc can be accidently cracked if not removed correctly. Sometimes the center "Push-to-Release" hubs will grab the disc even after pressing down the center. To avoid damage, the center can to be depressed and released BEFORE removing the disc. The center holder will then pop the disc up slightly allowing for easy removal. To replace the disc in the case, hold down the center first.
The center "Pluck-Hubs" are designed to keep a disc in place while shipping, but usually are too tight. The disc can be damaged upon removal due to excess warping. The edges of the center hub can be permanently bent in slightly to allow for a looser fit. The disc can now slip out easily, ideal for the home shelf.
Disc cracked when improperly removed from the Case.
Come to think of it it was only a matter of time before this could happen to me. Thanks to your post I now take more care in ejecting the disc out of the case. thanks. that sound you always hear when you take it out: kkkkkrrrrrrccccccccK!
