          Been saying it for years, Disney is evil
          "I would like nothing more than to walk around
          wearing a shirt with a giant arrow pointing
          downwards, but I have this strange feeling
          that most people would take it as some kind
          of sexual suggestion rather than an attempt
          to infer one's final destination."

            I prefer Netflix. The DVD come to me in the mail, and I can keep them as long as I want without imploding

              Well since the dvd will so called "rust' when it comes in contact with oxygen, what keeps people from finding a way to put a barrier to keep the oxygen out. How long do they keep people from figuring out some thing like thompson water seal would prevent the destruction?

                great, one more piece of non-biodegradeable crap in the landfills.

                the short term vision of some people is astounding.

                  I think it's going to be short lived and only on a minimum number of titles. Remember the anti-copy technology on some music cd's? It has come and gone and I have not seen it on any other cd's.

                      Wow, something more to piss me off. Just when I thought renting my DVDs and video was finally easy, it gets uselessly more complicated. I cann see this as another thing that will pile up my room slowly to the point I will be safe from nuclear blast.

                        They did this idea a long while ago before regular DVD's got popular... it didnt quite work out, although they didnt "self destruct"

                          you could always get a dvd burner and burn it to a new dvd... then you could watch it forever. (oh sorry that would violate untold # of laws) forget i mentioned it.
