Staples will begin selling disposable discs from Atlanta-based Flexplay Technologies in its 2,000 stores across the country beginning in mid-June. Flexplay has deals with Warner Home Video, New Line Home Entertainment, Paramount Home Entertainment and DreamWorks to sell new release movies on its disposable discs, according to its Web site.

Flexplay time-limited discs play for 48 hours after they’ve been removed from their sealed packages, essentially making them disposable rental discs. Discs will be priced between $4 to $6.

This is Staples’ first foray into DVDs. Up to now the company has only sold blank discs. Staples stores will carry 24-26 different newer release titles at a time in standalone displays at the front of its stores, spokeswoman Amy Shanler said.
