Letta stamattina ma non ricordo dove, ho ritrovato la stessa notizia qui:

If Disney gets its wish, an experimental type of DVD will begin flying 
off store shelves today -- and self-destructing and thursday. Disney 
movies on disposable DVDs are set to arrive in convenience stores, 
pharmacies and other outlets in a four-city test of whether Americans 
will pick up a limited-life DVD rather than dropping by a video rental 
store.
The red DVDs turn an unreadable black 48 hours after their packages are 
opened, exposing them to oxygen which reacts with the disc in a process 
similar to how Polaroid film develops. 
The DVDs, which are being distributed by Buena Vista Home Entertainment, 
Disney's home video unit, will carry a suggested price of $6.99 (£4.50). 
Some retailers are expected to sell them for as little as about $5 (£3) 
said Alan Blaustein, Chief Executive of Flexplay, which owns the self-
destruct technology. 
The advantage to the disposable DVD format -- known as EZ-D -- is that 
such discs can be sold anywhere and never need to be returned, 
potentially making any retailer a competitor with Blockbuster Inc. 
"It should be 'aisle two, bread, aisle 4, EZ-D,"' said Flexplay's 
Blaustein, who predicted families would continue to rent videos and start 
buying the disposable DVDs as well. 
Stores in Austin, Texas; Peoria/Bloomington, Illinois; Charleston, South 
Carolina; and Kansas City, Missouri will begin stocking the disposable 
DVDs including titles such as "Signs" and "The Recruit." 
Toys R Us, Phillips 66, Circle K, CVS and Walgreens are some of the 
chains participating. 
The plan has stirred some criticism from environmentalists such as the 
Alliance for Safe Alternatives, which is asking callers to phone Disney 
and tell them to scrap the plan which they say will add needless waste to 
America's landfills. 
The plan offers some recycling -- though not in-store -- and consumers 
will eventually be able to get a new disc in return for six used ones, 
the companies said. 
Although the disposable DVD format does not make it harder for digital 
pirates to make illegal copies, Blaustein said by making DVDs cheaper the 
effort would also undercut the incentive to make such bootleg copies.

Mmm... Il DVD-Rot "velocizzato"... ;-) 
Peccato che uno se lo copia prima delle 48 ore e va liscio... :-OOO

You tell someone you're a Metatron, they stare at you blankly.
You mention something out of a Charlton Heston movie and suddenly
everyone is a theology scholar!

Però risolverebbe il problema dei dvd da noleggio rigati...

Io per quello evito Blockbuster e mi rivolgo in altri posti dove costano
meno, sono sempre in ottimo stato e per qualunque eventuale problema sono
disponibilissimi al rimborso (per ora mi e' capitato due volte e con le VHS,
e mai con DVD).
Ho invece idea che questi supporti che si autodistruggono alla Mission
Impossible diano origine ad un sacco di altri problemi...
