OK, so my girlfriend gets me the Transformers DVD. w00t, all is good.

Get home, get it out of the first layer of packaging, then out of the box, and the case itself has got a little red padlock symbol. Can't get the friggin thing open, do a quick google and it is some security thing on it? WTF!?

So now I have to take it back to get it unlocked FFS.

No wonder people pirate shit. You buy the real thing and you're made to feel like a criminal just opening it. Do all DVDs have this now?

/rant, least I got Transformers now heh heh

Use a strong magnet to slide the security tab out and across.

Easy peasy.

thats def frustrating!
when we started the pre-order campaign for transformers there was a kool limited edition version that the case itself folds out 2 be a transformer, its not the quality of a real transformer and pretty corny, but still is awesome, only transforming DVD case ever! :P
Oh the 720p version is awesome too, High Def Megan Fox....damn :D

mine didnt come with a security lock.

i think this is more of a case of the store that sold it to you being stoopid pingpingpingpings.

Yeah, the store is supposed to unlock the DVD before you buy it. By the sounds of it, the idiotic no-brain shop assistant forgot to do so!!!

Luke, a pair of bolt cutters will do the trick.
I have a spare clear dvd case if you need it afterwards.

GTFO!
I was returned to childhood for two hours of that movie heaven. Seeing a "live-action" transformation on screen brought tears to my eyes...:werd:
