The Liars Dice game is still problematic. You can spout about how well
it plays and all that, but it is bullshit!
The keyword in the boiling crapola is "WAS", but even then it was BS. I
had my player during that time and not only did I not ever see that be a
cure, none of the people I actually knew that had HDDVD ever boiled
their discs either.
We did clean rental discs, but hell I do that with BD and SD discs too.
I don't want your rented crud coming into my good machine.
