Self-Destructing DVDs Make a Comeback
Found on PC World on Tuesday, 03 June 2008
Flexplay DVDs have been around for about five years, though on a more limited scale. The premise remains unchanged: Flexplay's patented disc adhesive reacts to oxygen when the DVD's package is opened, beginning a slow chemical reaction that renders the disc unreadable in 48 hours.
Staples will start carrying Flexplay DVDs this month, for $4.99 each.
10 years, and this stupid idea is still not dead. You can get older DVDs cheaper than that; not to mention that renting new movies is cheaper too. Guess we just need even more stuff to throw away after being used one time only.
