It will probably take a 5 mile trip to the rental store just to return the DVD. With the price of gasoline and its impact on the environment, I feel it is probably better to throw away the DVD. However, I must admit that your idea of a flashdrive alternative sounds very attractive.ReneMon, 07 Jul 2008 19:20:20 -0000http://insideredbox.disqus.com/self_destructing_dvds_already_extinct/#comment-1888178I agree that video on demand is the best alternative. There is no driving to the store, driving to return de dvd nor late fees. However, I assumed the discussion was for the situation in which this alternative was not available. In that case, I would prefer the alternative of not havig to return to the store just to return the dvd. And yes, walking and bike is better than driving, however, these alternative are not always available.ReneWed, 09 Jul 2008 12:46:52 -0000
