DVD Talk Godfather
On that Twilight Zone case, the corners are all dog-eared to begin with.
I tore the back of my Godfather box set with that stupid crappy glue they had on the back. I'm a bit less careful about this stuff than most of you. As long as the disc is in 100% pristine good shape and it plays well, I don't really care. I have maybe 5 or 6 sets where there are some rips or problems like we're discussing but it's not the end of the world.
Not that I will not defend your right of rallying against these stupid stickers to begin with.

Does anyone know where to get those little openers with razors in them that are designed for DVD/CD cases? I saw it once in CompUSA but didn't pick it up. Now I can no longer find them.

DVD Talk Platinum Edition
I bought the 4-disc SE of E.T. in the gift set. But some of my friends bought the 2-disc set and their cover art got messed up real bad from the stickers. That's the worst one I've seen.

Why would it undamage itself?
Sorry couldn't resist
On the other hand I get some kind of strange joy from removing the black bar security device from the inside of the packages. Once I was a little too obsessed and tried to remove it from the close encounters of the third kind digipack. Stupid me, stickers don't come off the cardboard without taking some of it with it.
