just a guess though.

Maybe wrong plastic. Still, it's a common trick and alot of people report that it works OK. I'd still want a real gamebit.

I have found it to be more time consuming than it takes to pay $2-3 for a security bit (try kitsch-bent.com).
Just my opinion.. i've maybe gotten 1 screw out of a game (that had already been opened btw) before it strips out.
And if the game has never been opened... good luck.

Still, it's a neat trick if you need to get into something ASAP.

Dead simple, take a pen/plastic, remove the gubbins keep the case, heat it up with a lighter, even a touch of flame, shove it in the hole, give is 30seconds to go cold and harden around the shape of the screw, you now have a screwdriver, unscrew, you get one or 2 screws out of each melt, nice little trick worked a treat
