This is just more of the industry attempting to slow the introduction of technology to market, so consumers get the shaft. Quote:

Though it sounds nice in terms of cost (like DVDs are expensive to produce anyway....) it doesn't sound very practical. I mean, if it's literally made of paper, it would be ridiculously easy to destroy. The oil off of your fingers would be able to ruin the thing, instead of merely making it dirty. Edit: If I remember, Sony plans to implement Blu-Ray DVD technology in the PS3, so this may be what leads to that. | |

I mean, as if there wasn't enough **** made out of trees already. Also, I'd rather have media that doesn't decompose. I thought we finally got past that.  |

| Just Another Face in Red Jumpsuit  Join Date: May 2001 Location: Lemmingland Gender:  Posts: 19,142 Thanks: 121 Thanked 176 Times in 121 Posts | ^ Are you talking about oil processing and deforestation, or oil processing and oxygen? Sorry, I couldn't figure this one out on my own... By the way, trees also reduce global warming. Oil processing increases it.  Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there! [ June 03, 2004, 10:53 AM: Message edited by: CodieKitty ] |

It's not a requirement, but that's how it's done. Oil powers the factories that create paper. Oil is required to process many chemicals, some of which might be used to process paper into this usable medium. |

It just so happens that PC-Cd-Rom also can be used to get monsters. Since they have Cd-Rom bit in its name. AOL Discs happen to be PC-CD-Rom disc too, so guess What......! |
