I am just trying to get Sony to change their evil ways. I have been a faithful PSP owner updated my firm when they wanted it(at least 1 of my PSP's) paid top dollar for games you can beat in two days. SO why won't Sony sell us replacement UMD cases. I'm not asking Sony for a handout, I a willing to pay a resonable price to fix my broken UMD's. But Sony at this time does not sell replacement cases. I am here to ask every1 who has this problem to write SOny and tell them we want things changed. It would mean more money for them and our favorite games back to us, win win situation. i am very picky about handeling my games and I thought putting my UMD's back in the original case would keep my games safe. Not true. The very act of taking your UMD out to play causes the cheap outter casing to split apart. So to wrap it up I just want some people to help me and every1 else out with trying to get some new cases. Go to Sony's website and ask them to start selling replacement cases. I am going to but I am only 1 person and maybe if we give them enough crap they will see the light. I already paid 50 bucks for a game and I'm not shelling out more cause of faulty craftmenship. Thank you for your time.

i dont know how you handle your UMDs, but it was a real pain in the ass for me to even open up one of the UMDs if i tried.... ive never had one come apart by accident...

Same, I keep my games in those awsome UMD cases. The small convenient ones that are the same shape as a UMD. They come in many packs for the PSP. They are very useful. They even have clear ones to see what game is inside, or you could use the different colors to rememeber.

I ripped open my demo disk and put a gtasa disk art in it, as seen in my 2nd, 3rd and 4th threads.

back when i was a super duper n00b.

yeah, i ripped open my demo disk too... and i dont see how one could accidentally come apart if you actually take care of your UMDs

I mean I dont think any of us would'nt care for better quality cases, like my friend let his sister borrow one ofhis games, got it back, and the actual plastic was almost completely loose. Some of my games I can like almost open the part where it turns into a square for the UMD to be read (I dont know how else to explain it lol). But if you dont load up your UMDs just to shoot them out of the drive at people (my friend does that) then you wont have that much trouble. By the way, UMD movies are very easy to shoot (I've only been told.)

I handle my UMD's extremely careful. I only grab it by the corner and used to put every1 of my games back in the case it came in. If you take your UMD and put it in the Plastic case and just sit there and take it out and put it in for twenty minutes you will probable have the same effect of doing that for a year. And the games that are coming apart are wipeout, hotshots, ATV all the games I bought on launch day so if I am the only one who is having this problem then I will admit I am being too rough with my UMD's. But I take extreme care of my games and the disk surface is flawless after all this time, its just the cases. And if I had replacement cases I would have a brand new game.

I've never had a case broken on opening it, but that would suck.
