I find environmental activists very interesting. I dont understand some of the logic behind opposing new things like this b/c of the environment. First off, this will save us 2 trips to blockbuster, therefore you will save gas, lower emitions, and save the environment. Second, this will make our life as consumers and movie lovers much easier, and cheaper. And finaly, as this catches on, I am sure we will be able to dispose of these DVDs with our plastics at home. I think this is a great idea, and think we should try it out and see how it goes.
If i am reading your post correctly, it sounds like you dont like MSFT and think they are just out to make money. I think that companies do try to make money, but at the same time, compete to make things more consumer friendly, and make our life easier. I believe this new idea of 48 hour dvds will make our life easier, and make movies cheaper. I cant wait to try this out, and find new technology very interesting and exciting. I think people should embrace new things and experiment with it. If it fails, oh well, us as consumers wont lose a thing if that happens. We have nothing to lose.
I read that The Hot Chick, The Recruit, 25th Hour and I think Aida are some of the first few that will come out on this format. I def hope this catches and and some of the bad press subsides. I think this is a great idea. Makes my life alot easier haha.
Hey that sounds pretty interesting. I just hope that as the technology and the plastic they are using becomes more popular we can just dispose of them at home or at a local recycling place. But your idea seems pretty cool, i just dont know if people will trust a SECURITY for such a minor item. May turn people off from this concept and just turn them back to blockbuster, but hey its a thought.
i have tried netflix, and i think this is gonna be a much better idea. You dont have to be SUBSCRIBED and try to get a certain amount of movies a month to get your moneys worth. Just buy it for under 5 bux and thats it, no stings attached. I think it'll be great...def cant wait for this to come out. I hear there are some new releases coming out on this format this summer. Should be interesting.
WOW...i find your analogy to be very interesting. I also agree with you that this is a great idea and the anger is a bit ridiculous. I look forward to this becoming the NEW THING for movie viewing and hope it catches on. As for the environment, you said, DRIVING to return VS. SENDING IT to get disposed...COMMON...this is a great idea..
Dont you think everyone is trying to make money, and you and me as consumers should just worry about convienence, and let the companies battle it out for the money. Thats what a capitalistic government is based on, and this will only help us and lower the costs for us to see movies. I think its great and cannot wait to get the first one and see how it works.
I think disposal will get easier as this idea catches on and gets more popular. Plus, as i have seen others say, the fact that you dont have to drive to get the movie reduces pollution so that that sense its better. i know thats pushing it, but this idea is alot more convienent. I think its great and as an avid movie viewer, this will def. reduce my cost from blockbuster, netflix, and GAS haha.
I am pretty sure that these DVD's are recycalable. On the FlexPlay website there is an address in MO. that you are supposed to send them to and they dispose of them. I am definately gonna use these and hopefully as they become popular we can dispose of them at home.
As for the AOL CD's i would check ebay for a frizbee maker, that would be great haha.
I dont think this can be compared to DIVX because that used special DVD players, this uses your regular player. This is a great idea and i am def. going to use it.
I dont think it matters how far it is, i think this just makes your life easier. If they start selling these EZ-D's at all stores like Wal-Mart or any Grocery store, you can just get it there and forget about RETURNING IT. Also, if you are going on a trip somewhere and want to rent a movie you dont have to worry about coming home in time to return it. How much better can you get than that?
Many avid movie "renters" rent movies through the mail and send them back and forth for a monthly fee. I believe that this will be cheaper and wont take anymore effort to send back. I am sure in the near future once this catches on, people will be able to recycle the DVD's at home. I think this is a great idea, and is a lot easier then renting from blockbuster.
