call me crazy, call me a conspiracy nut, but my money is that all dvd's made today will be coasters 10 years after their date of manufacture. what better way to insure that you will buy it again on blue ray, and then again when downloaded content is fully in the swing of things.
the logic of my crazy is that these flexplay disc's work (or rather break) because of oxidization. bassicly they rust in 3-5 days and can no longer be played.
so what if all dvd's were engineered to oxidize at a slower rate. like say 1.3x the length of a format cycle.

if every ps3 was networked and sony rented out your redundant core to the DoD, how fast would the worlds most powerful super computer be?
