So i just received the smash hits i ordered online.I open it up as it was brand new and when i open the case.I realize that it is not like all the other cases i have.This case only has 3 rings in the middle while others have 4.I tried to take out the game but it is not as easy to take out as my other 360 games.So my question is "Is anyone else's Smash Hits case like this?" I took a picture to show you guys what it looks like:

Edit:Also is there anyway to easily take the disc out because when i try to take it out i have to force it out and it feels like it will crack in half.

Any standard DVD case has 3 prongs instead of 4.

Looks like they have just standardized the design.

As for getting it out I usually just push down in the middle and release.

as the prongs come back up they lift the disk out so you can just grab it.

No real force should be required not even enough to flex the disk let alone break it.

That is kind of odd, though.... I wonder why they changed it. Not that it breaks my heart, or anyting.

It's good to know I'm not the only one who realized this.

The ones on the Wii are like this.
Yes, I play on the wii.

A copy of Fallout 3 (360) I picked up had these. Sacred 2 (360) however which I picked up the same day did not. My smash hits case does not have this.

I don't know, cases variate, I just don't care and don't usually notice the rings.

My advice would be, carefully get the game out of that horrible case, and then swap case with a game that you never play or are thinking of trading in soon (Obviously, it should have a decent case).

I don't think I've ever had one of those cases, but my Greatest Hits is in a case that I dislike. I can't really explain it, but if you look on the side of the case (The side the case opens on), there will be no plastic sticking out of the middle. I hate those cases!

The ones with only two things are the the best ones. They pop the disc out the easiest.

Xbox appears to be experimenting with new case designs. My GH:Metallica case has two prongs shaped like a Pepsi logo (which sucks) and my copy of MLB 2K9 has one gigantic square shaped one, that doesn't even press in or allow the disc to slide. I refuse to put any disc back in that case, and instead use a clear CD case for it.

I don't know why they stopped using the standard one that every game prior to this year used, but they need to go back to it. All of these design changes are terrible and make it very difficult to remove the disc without breaking it.
