So you bought a DVD huh? Get it home only to discover one of the following
|
||
|
|
annoyances:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. stickers on the paper parts, this is a problem mainly with the cheap
|
||
|
|
warner bros. DVDs, they get all over the casing you go to remove them and
|
||
|
|
the sticky shit remains on the DVD.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. paper cases is an annoyance in itself, the damn things don't protect the
|
||
|
|
DVD worth a damn, plus the packaging is so flimsy the plastic siding doesn't
|
||
|
|
hold up very well at all.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. "SECURITY DEVICE ENCLOSED", geez we get the freakin point there is a
|
||
|
|
magnetic strip inside and you shouldn't shoplift. I understand having ONE
|
||
|
|
of these stickers, but 3 on each side of the casing is a little over the
|
||
|
|
top don't you think? Not to mention a pain in the ass to get off.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. The clip-locks, this is the first thing I remove when I get a DVD with
|
||
|
|
these things on them. What is the point to hold the DVD in the case better?
|
||
|
|
If the case is plastic and it snaps shut it should hold the DVD just fine
|
||
|
|
we don't need any locks on the damn thing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. The DVD Holder plastic pieces broken, nothing more annoying that a DVD case
|
||
|
|
that can't even hold the DVD it was ment to. I generally like to take these
|
||
|
|
back and get a new DVD, as the side effect is commonly a scratched up DVD
|
||
|
|
before you even get your hands on it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. The DVD flopping around in the case act. This is particularly annoying and
|
||
|
|
sometimes it doesn't even grab you until you get out the door with your DVD,
|
||
|
|
this is where the DVD isn't even securely attached to the holder and it is
|
||
|
|
just banging around in the casing. Recently had my animatrix do this and it
|
||
|
|
had a nice scratch, fortunately didn't affect performance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. The DVD that just doesn't move! This is just the opposite of 6, you open
|
||
|
|
the package and attempt to move the DVD, and either a) the disc doesn't come
|
||
|
|
off or b) you break the DVD. The end result is either the broken DVD or you
|
||
|
|
have to break the holder to get the DVD out.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
8. piss poor season dvd packaging. You know what I'm talking about the flimsy
|
||
|
|
paper DVD packaging when you fold it the DVDs just drop out and get scratched.
|
||
|
|
Not only is the case ineffective at protecting the disks it actually causes
|
||
|
|
more problems than it helps. The fold-up DVD packaging needs to go.
