ForceX Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 Walt Disney Co. created a new kind of DVDs which self-destruct 48 hours after it's opening. The self-destructing EZ-D DVDs, developed by privately held Flexplay Technologies, quit playing 48 hours after they are opened as a chemical reacts with air, obscuring the tracks on the disc so a laser cannot read them. It's a good thing for video club, since they won't have to bother about customers bringing back videos anymore. The only bad point of this is the waste of discs it will create, but Disney sayd it had a recycling program. So far, this DVD is only available in Florida, but the trial will be expanded to Phoenix, Arizona, San Antonio, Texas, and Denver, Colorado, in April and May. Imagine having a DVD explode in your Hands.....You could sue Walt Disney Co. for millions Then Give The Dvd's To Military Or Commandos They Dont Need Any Bombs. Ha! They'll be like ninjas with CD shurikens. "Take this AOL disk!" *SHING!* GryphonKlaw you always know how to make me laugh This Expiring DVD BS is certain to fail.....no videostore would want to be buying the same movie/game every 48 hours.....

nicknicknickandnick Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 The idea doesn't deserve to succeed for so many reasons. Better yet, people should copy the DVDs as punishment for Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

random guy Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Actually, there are a handful of EZ DVDs out for sale. I even saw 25th Hour at Half.com being sold (It was an EZ). 48 hrs? That gives enough time to copy it... Anon.Exactly... Did anyone else notice that this thread and the one about the attack on the file-sharing community appeared at about the same time? it looks like big business is really going all out to combat piracy. Oh well, my prediction is that it will cost them a pretty penny, and the idea will flop so badly it will not be heard of six months from now, so its not such a bad thing after all.
