And don't forget shit like Flexplay. The no-return rental DVD that self-destructs after ~48 hours. How ecological. Thankfully it was discontinued in 2011.

Not to be confused with Flexi Disc, which was essentially a CD-sized vinyl record with a sample track, that used to be inserted into magazines. Especially big in russia.

The sound quality left a lot to be desired. He's a very rare Slowdive track with a banging tempo that was only released on Flexi Disc.
