- scottsharperz, on 04/21/2008, -3/+90I don't know why they make it seem like its "new technology". Disposable DVD's have been around for at least the past 3 years. They were selling them @ a 7'11 store in Florida a few years ago.
- jezsik, on 04/21/2008, -0/+20Not only that, they failed every time they were introduced. I'm guessing that this group will take a stab at reintroducing smell-o-vision next.
- aliengoods, on 04/21/2008, -0/+12And before that they had disposable CDs around 10 years ago.
- ambiguus, on 04/21/2008, -1/+27"Self-destruct DVDs are not a new idea. In 2003 Flexplay, an Atlanta, Georgia technology company, introduced disposable DVDs using its own self-destruct technology, dubbed ED-D. This was met with fierce criticism from environmental groups, who slammed the notion of throwaway DVDs."
If you click on the title, it will take you to the article to read it. - matrixbandit, on 04/21/2008, -0/+7For a time even Sbarro's pizza got in on this, giving away a free Christmas movie with a large drink that would only last a few days once it was opened. I'm not sure what the point of it was to be honest.
- doctechnical, on 04/21/2008, -1/+5Most drinks usually run out of fizz overnight... Oh. You meant the DVD. Nevermind.
- griz, on 04/21/2008, -0/+9Disney had contemplated this same idea and got hammered on the environmental issue. It's just a bad idea all around.
http://www.wired.com/entertainment/music/news/2003 ... - falstaff, on 04/21/2008, -0/+20This DVD will self destruct in 48 hours.
This business model will self destruct (again) in 12 months. - LordOfTheSponge, on 04/21/2008, -0/+21uhhh - They tried this like 10 years ago when DVD's first dame out. It was called DIVX and it failed miserably.
- thejumbo, on 04/21/2008, -0/+9I used to go to the Circuit City (DIVX's sponsor) and look at that garbage. It was hilarious listening to the sales guys try to convince people what a great idea it was!
- doctechnical, on 04/21/2008, -1/+4Uhhh... no.. Divx discs didn't self-destruct, the player simply wouldn't play them after a certain time. It was pay-per-view for DVDs, and the DRM tech was in the player, not the disc.
- misguidedmonkey, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1Then let's all bury as inaccurate in unison.
- Fordi, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2Heh. Previously failed for this reason: It takes less than 48 hours to rip a DVD.
- whoreable, on 04/21/2008, -0/+270Yeah, cause thats what we need. More plastic ***** to throw away.
- Magillicutti, on 04/21/2008, -0/+71Yea, seriously. How wasteful can we be? Think about the impact of a company like Netflix utilizing this.
- drlha, on 04/21/2008, -2/+34I'll tell you how wasteful we can be: I rented a video from Hollywood video the other day, a single DVD and nothing else, and the sales person asked if I wanted a bag for it.
- MaxPayne3476, on 04/21/2008, -0/+22Reason for this is because you woldnt' believe how many OTHER people would bitch if you didn't offer them a bag for it. I work at a bank as a teller part-time, and I always ask everyone if they'd like an envelope no matter if it's $5 or $500... the reason? Because I have people who do nothing but bitch when you just hand them their money bank... all $8 of it.
- Charlotte_Web, on 04/21/2008, -5/+4It probably also has to do with security. If everyone who has completed a transaction leaves with a bag, then it makes it a little easier to spot people taking the five finger discount.
- drlha, on 04/21/2008, -0/+7They hand you the video after you go past the security scanner, so I don't see the bag as a security feature.

- hokie47, on 04/21/2008, -4/+3While I think the idea is stupid. I bet there would be less pollution from a small plastic disk than the return shipping of a Netflix DVD.
- drlha, on 04/21/2008, -2/+34I'll tell you how wasteful we can be: I rented a video from Hollywood video the other day, a single DVD and nothing else, and the sales person asked if I wanted a bag for it.
- S2000, on 04/21/2008, -2/+7I agree, but remember, we have the profits and copyrights of our corporate overlords to protect here. Obligatory "***** the MPAA!"
- the_d, on 04/21/2008, -0/+10If these were distributed via a kiosk like redbox, people could "return" used disks so they could be recycled, and maybe get a dollar or so off the price of their next dvd.
- UnWeave, on 04/21/2008, -1/+11I thought part of the shift from magnetic tape -> digital media, like DVDs, was for their longevity when it comes to storing data, not just their capacity. This seems a step backwards, and it's needless pollution. Spend your money on making DVD-RWs that don't turn to ***** after a year, please.
- Murdats, on 04/21/2008, -0/+7the distribution industry LOVES control, if they can control the duration then it doesnt matter if it will cost them, they will do it just for the extra control.
- sailadayaway, on 04/21/2008, -0/+7The point is, it doesn't cost them anything extra, it's costing us space in our landfills to dispose of them. So of course they love it.

- gernblansted, on 04/21/2008, -1/+4At least one of the 'plastic gyre islands' in the pacific is now twice the size of the continental USA. Those DVDs should help fill out the beaches a bit.
(for the intellectually impaired, yes I know it's not a real island but a collection of plastic spanning unbelievable distances)- OrangeSoda31, on 04/21/2008, -1/+3Thats what they want you to think, I have actually started my own country on those islands. Littering is mandatory. With enough trash, one day I may conquer the US.
- sega01, on 04/21/2008, -0/+5Bad idea: put DRM on DVDs and pollute the enviornment. Equally bad idea: pollute the enviornment more and force people to watch them once. Better idea: rent/buy a DVD, rip it, and torrent it. Best idea: Publish the movie over torrent and setup a donations system.
- PokeAlex, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1I'm a little disappointed that this was the *second* comment to the post... ;-)
- Magillicutti, on 04/21/2008, -0/+71Yea, seriously. How wasteful can we be? Think about the impact of a company like Netflix utilizing this.
- lorductape, on 04/21/2008, -3/+13how long before the MPAA jumps on this bandwagon..
- jnava121, on 04/21/2008, -2/+7their ideal scenario would be to impose a royalty just for hearing the music or video. Hear it on the radio .25 cents deducted from your account. Watch it a friends house ... .25 cents etc... hey now it's fair use. Forget buying something , it's still not right and you never own a song... lol.. copying it and playing it in your car will cost extra.
- pigfister, on 04/21/2008, -1/+7that's exactly the mpaa/riaa's wet dream! and with sony licensing games now (downloads), there goes the second hand game market too.
sony's eula on warhawk psn release stated that you are not allowed to lend, sell or give it away!
The BPI Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The RIAA Soundexchange Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, EMI.
The IFPI Are: The same anti consumer lot as listed above!
The MPAA Are: SONY, UNIVERSAL, WARNER GROUP, DISNEY, PARAMOUNT, FOX.- Zettabyte, on 04/21/2008, -1/+2You could do that for a lot of PC game as well. Namely steam.
- flangepiece, on 04/21/2008, -1/+1Hey, I like Steam. I can log in from any of my PCs (including through Wine) and play any of my games - with a speedy connection and enough bandwidth, there's no faffing around with scratched CDs and *****. Thumbs up to Steam. More of this kind of thing please.

- UnWeave, on 04/21/2008, -0/+4I'd give it about a week. If there really is no DRM, and they can be easily copied, AND remain cheap there is no way the MPAA are going to be happy with it.
- BevansDesign, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2The number is negative, because they already did. It failed, and they went to a new business model: publish their stuff in different formats. DVD, various portable forms (like the UMD), and now Bluray, which will be replaced by something that's slightly better still. They don't want to just go to digital downloads because they won't be able to sell people the same ***** over and over that way.

- gquaglia, on 04/21/2008, -1/+13Yup and it was a big flop here in the US.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIVX_%28Digital_Video ... - smartcause, on 04/21/2008, -0/+21998 called, they want their useless invention back
- Jforsyth89, on 04/21/2008, -7/+18I'm pretty sure Best Buy (or maybe Circuit City?) tried this out a few years ago.
- santaliqueur, on 04/21/2008, -0/+13It was Circuit *****, and it was a disaster. They called it Divx.
- BobMysterioso, on 04/21/2008, -6/+3It actually went bankrupt before the first disc was sold.
- onlyclave, on 04/21/2008, -0/+5No, there were several models of DVD players available and about a hundred movies. The DVD players had a dial-up modem in them and when you put a new disc in (which cost about $5.00) the player would call a server and check your account. At that point you had 48 hours (I think) to watch the disc as many times as you wanted to. After that period, every time you put that disc back into the player your Divx account would be debited $1.99. It did go bankrupt but a lot of discs and players were sold to people who weren't willing to pay $20 for a DVD. Kind of like HD-DVD owners.
- BobMysterioso, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1The company actually went bankrupt before a single disc was sold. That doesn't mean they stopped production, or anything, but the financial outlook was so poor, they had filed for protection from their creditors. Lots of companies go bankrupt and continue operations. Been on a plane lately?

- AppleGeorge, on 04/21/2008, -2/+69No thanks, I'd rather just download the torrent of the movie that I'd like to see.
- Southern100, on 04/21/2008, -1/+24Sounds a lot like DIVX (Digital Video Express) to me, and that sure didn't go over well here in the USA.. Maybe it'll have better luck in Germany.
- TheSpook, on 04/21/2008, -2/+4I'll hold out until the HD-DVD/Bluray DivX war is over before I buy. ;)
Yeah right, nobody wants disposable discs. Nobody. - gootecks, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1I was sure I wouldn't be the only one that remembered that.

- boombye, on 04/21/2008, -13/+3Divx used to do this back when their stuff was on sale in Best Buy.
- santaliqueur, on 04/21/2008, -1/+6Circuit City.
- boombye, on 04/21/2008, -1/+2I never shopped at Circuit City back then, it was in a Best Buy in Skokie, near the DVD players that were still $999 and crazy prices like that. Circuit City was one of the main backers and one of the main partners. Best Buy carried them reluctantly. It is no surprise to me that I got dugg down that much by people who can't even remember those days, or let alone seeing them in stores. Sure Circuit City was involved in getting it out, but Best Buy also carried them too. The point is, this news is nothing special.

Circuit City backed Divx, but it was also sold in Best Buy stores, which as I said, is where I've encountered them before, because Circuit City sucked and everything would be all over the place, nothing was organized, and I stayed away from them.- bloodomen13, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1You got dugg down because it wasn't the DivX we know today.... completely different thing all together.

- xxbonoxx, on 04/21/2008, -1/+62Perfect...just enough time to rip...
- jakobrowning, on 04/21/2008, -1/+9RIP?! But there's all that encryption. I hear that stuff can't be cracked or anything!
[/sarcasm] - DanBoodro, on 04/21/2008, -1/+4was thinking the same thing
- o0joshua0o, on 04/21/2008, -1/+8Exactly. You only need it for about 30 minutes anyway.
- geogeer, on 04/21/2008, -5/+0You know, it is because of people like you that all this crap has to exist...
- counterpt, on 04/21/2008, -0/+7No, it's because of this crap that people like him have to exist.
- Gavagai80, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2No, it's because of people like him that crap like this doesn't make financial sense to sell and is abandoned. Which, in this case, is a good thing.

- xoticpt, on 04/21/2008, -3/+10UM, Divx??? WTH, why throw it away. Divx seemed like a better idea, pay per view. Keep the thing if you want, only pay when you watch it.
- badqat, on 04/21/2008, -0/+7Yeah, DIVX was such a great idea and was a bang up, runaway success, wasn't it!
Circuit City ought to be bankrupt and out of business if for no other reason than DIVX.- jjpertusch, on 04/21/2008, -2/+2trashing divx always seemed odd to me. it was a good idea, but it was carried out very poorly. you only got like 48 hours to watch it and sometimes if you'd watch the dvds it would 'record' it as a full viewing. also, it was a little early for the technology since most people still had dial-up then and you had to dial in to get the dvd approved (or however it worked, i never fully understood it).
but however you look at it, it was just a pay per view service with higher quality video.

- thomasprebble, on 04/21/2008, -0/+5Unless the thing can be manufactured from some sort of paper-like substance (which gives recycling potential) I think this is the last thing we need right now. Not to mention it gives the content creators something else to ***** us off with.
- schizogony, on 04/21/2008, -0/+34Wait, we weren't already supposed to be throwing DVDs away after one viewing?
- smacksaw, on 04/21/2008, -1/+10Only if the movies are from Michael Bay and/or Jerry Bruckheimer.
- Deaconstructed, on 04/21/2008, -0/+9Wtf do we need MORE garbage for? Great progressive engineering...
- McBradd, on 04/21/2008, -0/+28Someone tried this before... Circuit City. And they called it DIVX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIVX_%28Digital_Video ...

Oh yeah, and they lost their shirts over it. Hooray!- OrangeSoda31, on 04/21/2008, -0/+3GOOD JOB! Have a cookie. You were able to say the exact same thing that least 7 other people above you have said. Can you do it again?
- Morghin, on 04/21/2008, -1/+2Errr... because the world doesn't have enough plastic already?
- RobotLeAwesome, on 04/21/2008, -1/+16Thank god, I was getting tired of eating them.
- smacksaw, on 04/21/2008, -0/+6So I don't have to pay full price for a new release to rip it directly to my media server? Dankke!
- schuchwun, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1bitte
- pcsperson, on 04/21/2008, -0/+4I was thinking about the waste impact also. It would be better to just have files that self delete or become unreadable.
- DaZpinner, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1Digital distribution is the future. Ease of use and better for the environment.
- mobling, on 04/22/2008, -0/+0If the files become unreadable, who is going to keep the disk around? If it is worthless, it's going to end up in the landfill. That's in MHO.
- nickcozy, on 04/21/2008, -9/+2Just like i use and throw my girl friends.Cool!!! am i a Man whore or what.
- doctechnical, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2I assume by "girlfriend" you mean kleenex.
- GogDog, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2No, you're obviously a virgin.
- nevpayne, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2Surely biodegradable plastic for something like this. Besides whats the point? In 48 hours even the slowest of burners and ripping software would have ripped the contents.
So much for German efficiency...- uncoveror, on 04/21/2008, -2/+1Biodegradable plastic is just hype. There is no such thing. It will still be in a landfill in 3,000,000,000,000 years.
- lechechocolate, on 04/21/2008, -0/+0Biodegradable plastic is not hype. They use them in food service at the University I go to. They're made out of corn.
- hardwarehank, on 04/21/2008, -0/+9I read this as "A German company has introduced a disposable DVD that can be ripped for 48 hours, then thrown away."
- Shadowgamers, on 04/21/2008, -1/+14Ripping a DVD doesn't take 48 hours though...
- DanBoodro, on 04/21/2008, -0/+5they give you enough time to do it yourself and then pass it along to your friends for them to do it too.
- tossayo, on 04/21/2008, -0/+39Torrenting the movie is better for the environment. Saves plastic. :)
- DanBoodro, on 04/21/2008, -0/+4good ol' green media
- matt1988, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1I'm sure someone already pointed this out, but this is really inefficient. That is all we need, something else for people to use for a day and then toss out and put in our landfills. Making these dvds alone takes too much energy to just throw out. Not to mention how much more this will add to our dumps.
On top of that, anyone who actually would use these would just rip them right away and burn them to yet another dvd. Why not skip the middle man and make it a permanent dvd in the first place? This whole idea is a step in the wrong direction, unless you are thinking only about the money, because yes there would be a lot of idiots who would fall for buying these, and a lot of companies who would fall for selling these. - ztorgo, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2This type of self-destructing DVD was already unsuccessfully marketed in the USA back in 04 under the trademark "Flexplay". I got a movie for free from a Sbarro for buying a piece of pizza back then, but I also definitely remember seeing the discs at 7-11 for a short period of time.
- szap, on 04/21/2008, -0/+3I got a dvd like this when buying a piece of pizza at Sbarros about 4 years ago. It's still sitting on my shelf at home unopened. It's supposed to turn red after it expires.

- uzkhan1, on 04/21/2008, -0/+3Just enough time for me to rip it!!
- ArchangelZLT, on 04/21/2008, -0/+9Warning: This DVD will self-destruct in 48 hours, use whatever method you like to rip it to your hard disk.

- johnnyloser, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2I had worked for Circuit City when Divx came out. Apparently the idea for Divx came from some lawyer looking to make some money between Hollywood and retail stores. (A few other smaller company's also sold DIVX from what I was told.) On the sales floor we all knew it was going to be a a huge mistake but the attitude of management was "get behind it or else." At the time their stock was around 60 dollars a share. A few months later it had dropped like a rock as low as 4 dollars a share. Why would anyone want to go through the hassle of paying for a disc twice? Why would you want to connect a phone line to it? (Hopefully you had a phone line close by!) The environment is a whole other issue. The management could never answer these simple basic questions. I left CC a few months after this debacle but it was too late for the company itself. Since then management wanted CC to become more like Best Buy and their stock is still crap. Way to go Circuit City! You lost the trust of the entire US consumer marketplace! Epic Fail.
- Thomaschaaf, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2The best thing is we(the germans) are trying to resolve co² emission problems by recycling.. and then we create this *****.. although I bought 3 DVD's and not a single one I watched again.. guess it would be better if it was recycled.. but the rapidshare account I have is just co² emission friendlier I'll use that for now

- TylerDCA, on 04/21/2008, -0/+3Too little too late. DVDs are on their way out by the way of Blu-ray or more realistically internet download. This is just an old and difficult to manage idea. No matter how recyclable they are environmentalists will be all over them. Don't see this going anywhere.
- insomniac8400, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1Total failure. If it doesn't allow for extended rentals, it misses out on milking customers for more money. Nothing worse than selling them a disc for 4 bucks and not having the ability to bump that up to a purchase or extra rental days.
- statstudent, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2of course, instead of spending $2 on gas to go to the rental store to pay $5.50 to rent something, why not just download/watch it (off amazon for a few bucks, if you want a legal version). then there is also hulu.com with TV and some movies.
- bbotzong, on 04/21/2008, -0/+2Same as DIVX that FAILED MISERABLY in Circuit City in 1999?? Same as the Disney service that FAILED MISERABLY last year? Great marketing research guys!!
- msmearcheck, on 04/21/2008, -0/+4Awesome. Only 10 years too late on this one. I wonder if I can get a self-destructive VHS too?
- BossKey, on 04/21/2008, -0/+1VHS tapes already self-destruct. If you don't think so, just wait...
- Abomonog, on 04/21/2008, -0/+3It should be noted that you are able to throw away ALL dvds after 48 hours (or 48 minutes if the movie sucks that bad).
On a serious note, having a dvd that self destructs will not prevent someone from transferring the material to a dvd that won't self destruct. -
