Have you ever heard of no return dvd rentals? I have!
Flexplay...the no return rental. WTF?!
I'm not exactly sure where you can find them but the hub did run across them at 7-11 and we had to try it out...you know we love all this new fangled shit.
How it works:
Like regular DVDs, Flexplay DVDs are made from two pieces of plastic – one or both of which have a reflective coating – that are glued together. Information on the DVD – a digitally-encoded movie, for example – is transferred onto the reflective surface, where it can be read by a laser beam focused on that reflective surface. The reflected laser beam is read by the DVD’s optical sensor. Precise focus and clear transmission of the laser beam is required for playback of the DVD.
Well Flexplay uses an adhesive to glue the plastic disc halves together. Removing the DVD from its sealed package exposes the disc to oxygen, triggering a gentle, controlled chemical reaction with the special adhesive. After 48 hours – but not sooner – the adhesive begins to interfere with the DVD laser beam’s ability to read the disc. This all happens inside the disc, with no exposed chemicals or coatings.
Crazy shit, huh!
