Daniel, Ziad, Carl -

Thanks for the discussion, it's always nice to have an intellectual discussion w/o resulting to name calling.

Daniel,

I eny you Circut City is 2 minutes from my house & the nearest rental is about 15 minutes, that's probably what drew me to DIVX in the first place. I agree with you about the number of movies released, it's very low, but I find I mostly use it for those border line movies that I wouldn't watch unless it was REAL easy (read lazy). There is no maintainence w/ the account though, I NEVER silver discs and the account manages itself. DIVX only represents a fraction of the movies, but I can watch BOTH, to me it's just another option not the be all end all. I agree, with Disney & other frequently watchers I always buy the DVD. I also agree the comercials SUCK! But then again there are very few comercials I actually like.
