Disposable DVDs – Divx Nightmares Anyone?

msn logo 778063 Disposable DVDs   Divx Nightmares Anyone?

Microsoft has developed disposable DVDs – wooopteedo. Don’t worry though; they aren’t being ‘eco’ conscious but green conscious, as in money. To avoid piracy and the ever growing monetary loss, Mircosoft’s ‘disposable DVDs’ will only play once, and then the user has to toss it.

The price of the DVDs will be around $5. Hmm, let me see…if I spend three times the amount I can watch a DVD a thousand times and not pollute the earth with more crap – I think I’ll stick with my regular DVDs.

Furthermore, need I once again reference the days of Divx? And how does the tech integrate into HD-DVD and BlueRay?
