I don't get the hatred of the format... it doesn't affect our life now, and it may never. It's just another option.

Exactly. Very well stated, larphillips.
I'm surprised by
this comment by the reviewer:

Flexplay says that the EZ-D can be recycled, but if someone is too damn lazy to return a movie, are they really going to make the effort to recycle a disc?

I do believe when garbage makes it to "way stations" (at least), there are machines that "filter out" recyclables from the other garbage to help maximize what we recycle. I don't think these machines do this in an automated fashion or anything. In other words, just because a recyclable item is thrown in the trash it doesn't necessarily mean it won't be recycled at some later point.
Additionally, people who don't return rented DVDs on time aren't necessarily "lazy" in all cases as they might be out of town a lot, etc.
I had no idea EZ-D DVD was _this_ close to actually coming out. I'll have to see if I can find one and try it out.
Peace...
