Help! I need a UMD replacement Holder!

[Greensprout]

How about ringing back and telling them that as they are concerned about sftware piracy, you will take them the original damaged disc and case so that they can see that you are not actually long john silver!

He hinted that I'd taken it to bits myself (for piracy reasons) and it's my own fault..

I'm sure Sony will have to replace these eventually, there are a few people who've had similar experiences with cracked cases on here, so there must be quite a few others out there.

I've had the same problem with a couple of my UMD's. Sony sure screwed the pooch with this crap, especially considering their years of experience with the original MD's. I mean, come on, not even a sliding door? Unless they're counting on replacement purchases...

Anyway, I don't know where to get replacement cases either, but a suggestion for fixing the case is to separate the remaining portion (along the center of the white plastic), then it's easier to glue the clear plastic back in place. After the clear plastic is dried, then you can put the disc back in the case and glue the two halves back together. Hope that helps.

Even if sony will not make replacements some 3rd party developer will. Just might take awhile

here's an underhanded solution:

EBgames sells a 3 dollar guarantee on games called a GPG (gameplay guarantee)
This guarantees a game for a year if anything happens to it. EB employees are under extreme pressure to sell GPGs to make certain quotas. You may be able to go to an EB and just pay for the guarantee, and they'll switch it out for you on the spot. If your local EB is highly moral: buy the game with a GPG, come back with your broken one, switch it out, then return the sealed one with the receipt later.

Well we really shouldn't have to rely on tricking games shops to take back dodgy UMDs. This seems to have happened quite a bit. Sooner or later, Sony are going to have to start replacing them.

My umds are coming apart because of those stupid UMD protectors by pelican...... If sony gives me the same answer I will say guess im gonna have to download the game since sony wont replace what i rightfully bought. This kind of
response by them shows that sony doesnt care about the gamer..... i hate most
nintendo games but they are the best in customer service they will fix anything even if its your fault.

They really need to do something about this, because it must happen to alot of people.

I thought one of the Japanese companies on Ebay would be selling replacements by now.

I had a similar problem with my UMDs. The clear plastic circle on the top got partially broken from the white outer part. So the clear circle would push down and sit on the UMD. I fixed 3 of them with this problem, but the fix doesnt look pretty. I carefully lined the pieces up and made sure it was in place. Then used finger nail glueand spread it over the top with a toothpick. Let it dry slightly, wipe the excess off, leaving a small film of glue over the entire area where the clear circle meets the outer white plastic. After it drys it is stronger thena new UMD, but ugly as poo.
