Watched the theatrical cut last night and was just saying aloud how I hate these cases : trying to get the discs out was making me sweat.

Just popped open director's cut and found the 'latches' so tight that they both snapped right away when I pushed them down with my thumb and finger.

Be careful with them guys. My theatrical latches were very pliable and my director's latches extremely tight.

Awful mechanism I hope I never see them again.

Glad I'm not the only one who struggled with removing the discs from this set... I felt dumb as hell when I struggled to get them out, because no one else had mentioned having any trouble, so I thought it was probably just me lol. It's the first time I've ever come across disc trays like this before though, and hopefully the last!

Yeah shite design on the disc holders. You've gotta move it one way to pop it out the other.

Thought I was going to break one at one point.

Plug my order in this morning via The Entertainment Store on ebay for £25. Will be a Xmas present from me to myself because i've been workign hard this year.

Thought i missed the boat when Amazon sold out (had to cancel my order because i got the release dates mixed up) but @prophecygirl gave me the heads up!

This was briefly back in stock on Amazon for £25 yesterday, so I suppose it's worth keeping an eye on if anyone's still after a copy.
