How to get a disc out of a digipak?

Kal Varnsen · 06-15-03, 12:03 AM

I just got the Black Hawk Down 3 disc set, but I can't get the dvd out. Only one latch is seemed to be connected to the "push" button. The other two latches won't let go of the disc. I never had one of these cases before. Can anyone help me out?

Well, I take out part of the disc and keep on spinning the disc until the entire disc is free. Almost as if you are twisting the cap off of something.

Thanks EskimoJoe, that did the trick!

Yeah, thanks. I had the same problem. I usually bend the discs a bit trying to get them out - I know I'm going to snap one in half one of these days.

I'll try the twist method from now on.

Great suggestion. Now I can take them off without any worry of breaking it. Thanks, dude.

I just picked up the 3-disc edition of Black Hawk Down and had the same exact problem as the original thread starter. After a couple of minutes of struggling (and a few choice profanities running through my mind in regards to the designers of the digipak), I decided to check out the forum.

Many thanks EskimoJoe for the tip; it worked like a charm! The "twist method" will be filed right after "righty tighty, lefty loosey" in my book of tips.
