It has its place in the rental market. You can buy the DVD for like $4 (same as a rental) and then just throw it out instead of having to go back to Blockbuster. Its really not a bad idea from a business standpoint.
But, its horrible for the environment and adds just tons of extra trash.
I dont see it catching on.

No, Divx was a complete flop because it was only supported by one retailer (Circuit City, I think). Also, you had to connect to a central server which tracked every movie you played.
This is a much more elegant (from a consumer standpoint) solution.

Not to mention the impact it will have on the frisbee industry.
Well, at least once you've seen the movie- it's a nice drink coaster. "101 Uses for Spent 48-Hour DVDs", anyone?
If a suicide DVD leaves traces of the chemical behind in your player (theoretically), I'd be leery of other discs mysteriously being ruined. I hope this method tanks soon.
