I got L4D2 from the exchange Thursday, and I just opened it (I just had surgery due to appendicitis, so I just got around to it). What's with the awful case? It's not secure at all, and the plastic seems to be lower quality. Is this really saving 360 game case manufacturers that much? I'm afraid I might accidentally break my game discs just trying to get it out.

Yeah. They look like they'd break if I looked at them hard enough.

They do look very unsturdy.  I havent broken one yet but it seems that all games are starting to come out in these cases.  Wet, Brutal Legends, Assasssins Creed 2 all came in this kind of case.  Aparently these cases are becoming popular due to them using less plastic so they are more eco friendly.

It great and all that they are trying to be more eco friendly. But i don't like them at all.I see how some people treat there games,if they dont handle these cases with more care there might be problems along the way.

Yeah, many DVDs are also coming out like this.

And they use the "eco-friendly" excuse (which I suppose it is), but it's totally about the bottom line as it must also save them money. 25% less plastic means saving that much in supplies.

Yes it is definately about the bottom line which it always is.  But stating that it is eco friendly makes it so that less people will complain about them making the cases crappier.  If they want to use less plastic then make the cases shorter or slimmer or whatever just dont make them weaker.  They already break enough as it is.

This is kind of a dumb idea, but if I made a petition to fix the cases, would anyone sign it?

Petitions don't work.

Yes, my copy of MW2 I got in my 360 bundle was in that case, and it was broken, inside the 360 box.  So before I sent it out I replaced it with an older 360 box, just so it would be shippable.  I bet that its a bitch to mail the new cases though.

Looking at the picture of the case makes me want to play Trivial Pursuit.
