| Disney tests self-destruct DVDs Just reading about this on the BBC website.
What do you think? I like the idea of being able to say rent a film on a Wednesday and then watch it on the Friday or Saturday, and how many times have you rented a film and never got around to watching it? I know I have done it a fair few times, so you are either stuck with the choice of taking it back and not seeing or paying another nights rental so that you can watch it. Doubt that will we ever see it over here though. Living and dying laughing and crying Once you have seen it you will never be the same Life in the fast lane is just how it seems Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean  |

| So it's about £5 to buy these discs when it's converted into UK money in the same way most things are converted  . When you can have a non self-destructing disc for around a tenner if you shop around, where's the incentive to buy the self-destructing ones?And surely it costs more to burn the movies onto these new DVDs, so if they can sell these for £5, why can't they sell all films for that price? |

| If they ever did make there way over here and they did charge a fiver for them they would be shooting them selfs in the foot as like you said you can buy them for a few quid more.

| I can see how that would as the are destroyed by mixing them with oxygen. I guess the cold would slow down the process of the chemical mixing together.

| dvds cost almost nothing to produce, they can charge what they like, and imo have been so far. id like to see the price go down, but if these are released, then £5 for a newish film, which i burn a copy of (for backup purposes - incase it oxidises early b4 i have a chance to watch it, and noone could blame me for forgetting to throw the backup away after 2 days ) americans are very wastefull, but if it makes them money, then it must be the right thing to do. |

| crazy idea, cannot see the point as like others have said for a few quid more in some cases for the same price you can buy a proper lasting one, especially with the sales HMV do all the time    "We are on the verge of global transformation. All we need is the right major crises and the nation will accept the New World Order." David Rockefeller. "The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister. 1876. |
