Is it possible to break a dvd in half?

Question

When I open new DVD's or videogames. Sometimes they're on the spindle thing and it's placed there really tight. So even if I press the middle piece down, the disc is still "latched" onto it.

I'm always scared that I'm going to break the disc before I can get it out of the case. A lot of the times the disc is literally bending upwards as I'm trying to pop it out.

Answer 1

It is possible to break a dvd but not exactly in equal halves. If it does break, it is most likely that it will be of many pieces.

Here's what you can do:

Just keep on pressing the middle piece until it is you feel it is has loosened a bit and turn the dvd upside down.

Just try to start over when the disc is bending upwards or else it will break if you over do it.  

Answer 2

I have recieved one from mail service that was broken, case and all. I push the center button in very hard helps.  It does seem they can bend a  ways snapping  out of container.
