    UMDs Designed to "Self-Destruct"

    Wii-mote straps had a problem. This I knew. And Xbox 360 have hardware issues. This also I knew. But UMDs falling apart? That would involve prolonged PSP use. Not an issue! In the above infomercial, Dave's hands from web vender Multimedia Recovery claim to have repaired 70,000 busted UMDs and shows the horrors of "flimsy" UMDs. So flimsy that it looks "deliberate" as the disks are "designed to self-destruct," while the frame that encases the discs are made out of "junk."

    Awesome.

    Each improved frame, designed to keep the UMD from self-destructing, costs US $3.99 with free domestic shipping and comes in different five different colors like green — which Dave claims is blue. Go figure.
