I hate when I buy a DVD and find that it has a tear in it that is the fault of the store where I bought it. And I also hate when the DVD insert cover is not lined up perfectly under the clear plastic protector and the stupid security stickers peel some of the coloration off the edge of the cover.

If it's every two sets, that's not so bad. But somehow I don't see that happening.

Definitely ironic. I've never taken any back, but I have touched up the inserts with markers and whatnot.

Another terrible thing about DVD packaging is when they use those cardboard slip covers on the outside of the DVD case and they apply those practically-impossible-to-remove magnetic labels to them directly. Right on the cardboard and, usually, right on some key part of the movie's description. Annoys me to death.

But there is one nice thing. Those new DVD cases that have the two little locks on the edge opposite the spine. I know it's annoying to have to pop those open all the time. But when you consider the fact that the use of those two locks has eliminated use of two of the security stickers, I'll take it.

This first time I saw one of those it was with Collateral. I thought it was cool that they were mimicking the brief case he had in the movie. But then Orgazmo had it too.

The first one I saw it on was The Virgin Suicides a year plus ago and I thought it was just an indie flick thing. But then I started seeing it on a bunch more. I hated them at first and was afraid they would start doing that on kid's movies (I can't imagine kids trying to tear into a movie case through those locks). However, they've grown on me. Especially since I no longer have to peel off those two wider labels. I think they'd even get rid of the top label if they could, but that's the identifier tag so people can see the name of the movie just looking at the top edge.

Haha yeah. My only problem was that I'd forget they were on there, and (after a few too many) I would be banging the thing around like Hansel and the mac in Zoolander.

Wanna talk about ironic? Zoolander is one of the movies whose inserts I had to touch up with magic marker because of the security stickers.

Ugh! I hate those. I snap them off.

I forget about the locks and pull it apart some times.

All of the cases with the locks that I have seen are made of a really thin plastic and they feel really cheap to me.

Speaking of which, I haven't bought a DVD in a long time. Not since I ordered that Sharpe DVD from Amazon.co.uk.

And now we get to start on Scrubs.

For those of you interested in Scrubs, it has been announced that Best Buy will have a bonus disc with their sets that includes more deleted scenes and an interview with Sarah Chalke. I know greencapt will be all over that one.


Crap! I was just at Best Buy today too... [drool]and HELL YEAH I'm all over that one![/drool]

Are those deleted scenes extra material or incorperated into the movie itself?

I didn't buy the previous prequels DVDs, mostly because I don't like throwing money away buying crap. But I think I'll buy this one...
