UMD Case Problem
So I finally got a PSP today. I was so excited. I bought Crisis Core as well. It took me about 20 minutes to pry the stupid plastic but tough cover of the PSP (as I had no scissors available).
I finally opened Crisis Core...and encountered a bizarre-looking case. I thought, "Oh cool, an extra case for protection." So I try to open the case...but to no avail. I didn't wanna force too much, so I handed the case to my husband and have him figure it out while I check the manual for the PSP. I got to page 5: Basic Operations UMD Content.
1. Place your finger in the indentation on the top of the system to open the disc cover.
2. Insert a UMD and close the disc cover. (Check that the disc cover is tightly closed.)
As soon as I read that, I was about to tell my husband when I heard a "CRACK". Sure enough, UMD case is broken. 
Anyway, anyone did the same mistake...? Now I can't play Crisis Core tonight and have to get a new UMD case before I can play it. I was so anxious to play the game too! We even called our local Gamestop to see if they sell any replacement, but they don't. So...I'll have to buy it online and wait a few more days for it to arrive.
-Sigh-
P.S. We are now both bickering at each other as to whose fault it was. xD He claimed that I told him to open it. I blame him anyway.

Ouch, I guess this shows that it is always best to read the manual first xD
But yeah, when I first picked up my (brothers) PSP, I was a tad confused and ended up trying to take the disk out of the case, figured it out before I broke anything though xD

Is the disc broken? As long as it's only the UMD case and it can stick together, you should be able to play.
Also, in the future... just pry back the two things in the case on top and on bottom.

No, it doesn't stick together anymore as it was broken in half...although...can we use a super-glue to put it back together? >.> The case has a slight crack on it too, but I assume it shouldn't be a problem.
Hmm, I'll try super-glue. And yeah, we went to youtube right after just to figure out how to open the blasted thing.

Hang on, I'm confused. You broke the case of the game, so you can't play the game? How does that effect gameplay at all? xD

Because you need the case in order for the CD to fit on the PSP. The PSP is built to accommodate gameplay by using the UMD case, with the CD inside. Without a case, you can't just insert the disc by itself onto the PSP as it just doesn't work that way. =/

Hahah, that's good to know. I plan on finally investing in one rather soon.
I can't picture wtf you mean but I'll definitely be more on-the-ball when I get it.

yep most of my games that ive had for more than 3 months end up like that.. Scotch tape did the job, as long as that little opening is alright (where the laser reads the disk) then you should be alright.

I had a hand-me-down game with the case broken, but if I held it together long enough to jam it in the psp it would work just fine.

Ive done the same thing with one of my games. It was old and the case ripped in half i just taped it closed and did not cover the opening. The game works fine.
