I can understand wanting to show up the 16 year old salespeople at the store that has your merchandise hostage. I can understand taking a few extra steps to get what you want for a good price too. What I cant understand is why people keep shopping at stores like CC and BB. I have had a similar version of all of these related experiences happen to me as well. The day I buy something from these crooks again will be a cold day in hell. When a company's "system" is flawed to the degree they cant offer their customers the best/promised price with no thwarting on the customers part, they dont deserve to be in business.
I might also offer some advice, never buy online at a public terminal...thats just silly.
I would assume that the "proper" strength is designed into current non-cased players, much like crush zones on modern cars. If you were to drop a hardened steel case housing a hard drive I would expect it to die. The precious exterior plastic might be saved but the inner workings might be junk while bouncing along in its hardened steel death trap.

Didn't they do this in Superman 3?

Yep. By promising a fix before it's even released, they are covering the negative release reviews and hoping they will catch up by the promised 10.1.
