I switched my Star Wars cases for some I bought at Wal-Mart for 3.88, they were a hell of a lot better quality and easier to open than the ones the studio released and I paid forty bucks for.
Out of all the DVDs I have and have seen, I'd say that I agree with you. All of the packaging for my Fox releases suck whereas, surprisingly, smaller publishers(like A&E) have the sturdiest packaging.
At least the SW DVDs don't have those ridiculous clips that I assume are to keep the case closed after it has been snapped shut.
Is it just me, or does Morgan Creek(the film company) use the Robin Hood and the Prince of Thieves theme for its jingle? Or did the music start out as a jingle and then they based the theme for POT on it?
