Okay, I was going to try the tape deal, but I'm really paranoid that the disc might get scratched for some reason once it is inserted in the PSP. So I just bought a UMD case replacement on ebay and it should be arriving today or tomorrow.

Hmm...can someone clarify something for me? Okay, when you buy a game for PSP, you cannot open the UMD case (without actually breaking it), correct? Because I bought a new game just so I can have another UMD case, take that case and insert Crisis Core into that new one. Problem is, I also couldn't open the UMD case for this new game...and I didn't wanna force it anymore.

This didn't happen to me luckily. I'd already had experience with the PSP. But I can see why it would. It's a strange design, to say the least, but effective and efficient in some ways.

And you're not meant to open the UMD case. Each game has its own, although the case for my 2nd hand copy of Tales of Eternia is loose. You could try, but would risk breaking that too since it's not meant to be done. It's as much a part of the disk as the disk itself...

I've customized my PSP, by taking the metal casing out of the inside of the PSP. Even though I don't play UMD's (I play ISO's which run 3 times as fast) I can play them with the disc alone.

For anyone who has this problem in the future the below site may help. The sell replacement cases and have a vid showing you how it works and also how to open existing UMDs.

Yeah that's the video I looked at after we broke the UMD case. I bought three from ebay and those are easy enough to open.

Just gotta remember...the UMD case that comes in a PSP game aren't meant to be opened. I learned it the hard way.

PSP games and my stupidity

Did anyone else not know that the games were meant to stay in that little plastic holder?

I got WoTL before I actually bought my PSP and I sat there for the longest time trying to get the disc out of it, I decided to have a rant on MSN about it before I got a knife and forced it out.

Lucky for me I did that BEFORE I attacked the game because I was promptly called an idiot and told it was meant to stay in there

I just thought it was like a little carry case for it so you could stash them nicely in your handbag without having to take the whole case

I am officially a retard

You're not the only one in the known universe to have done this.

I'd say that if you have to try and force something open with a knife, it's probably best you don't open it...

I knew it was supposed to be in there before I got a PSP, so I didn't have that problem
