New Sony DVDs Not Working In Some Players

An anonymous reader writes "It seems that the most recent DVDs released by Sony — specifically Stranger Than Fiction, Casino Royale, and The Pursuit of Happyness — have some kind of 'feature' that makes them unplayable on many DVD players. This doesn't appear to be covered by the major media yet, but this link to a discussion over at Amazon gives a flavor of the problems people are experiencing. A blogger called Sony and was told the problem is with the new copy protection scheme, and they do not intend to fix it. Sony says it's up to the manufacturers to update their hardware."

and lets not forget

-being mugged on the way to the store -getting run over crossing the road -developing a brain haemorrhage, but not realising -when you get home being so angry that your brain explodes -pooing your pants

and any of number of horrible things that have fuck all to do with having a defective DVD, just like in your list.
