Saw this story on KCAL-9 news last night.
Apparently, Flexplay is still around, and has made a deal for Staples to begin stocking these "self-destructing" DVDs in their stores. I thought after the failed Disney experiment a few years back in Arizona Flexplay would have cashed in their chips by now.
At $4 to $6 per disc, that is still too expensive for this to really take off, even at Staples.
The only good application for this technology I can see is for Academy, film festival, and review "screeners."
