CVS is now selling disposeable DV recorders. One time use, good for just 20-minutes of material at an eh resolution. This is dumb, but the very limitation of the format sort of turns me on, and I sort of want to come up with a little project for one.

As you note, $30 for the hardware and ~$12 or so for processing, with CVS recycling (and reselling) the camera afterward. Wouldn't you know, there would appear to be a hardcore contingent of geeks out there who are actively reverse engineering the unit to allow the video to be transferred to a computer and the camera to be reused. FWIW.

Cheers...
