So what happens to your paid-for DIVX titles when you buy a new player ? Actually, the question I really want to ask is: why would Circuit City, a store that makes money selling gadgets, want to do this ? a) to squeeze the customer a little more b) to build a database of people's habits c) there is no more money in selling gadgets ?!? d) because it is run by ex-BAC (IT) management. Also, I am sure the code can be broken. And, if it can be, then it will be. Just like the cable descramblers. Boy, wouldn't that be lovely. The only plus for the customer is the convenience of not having to return it. Maybe DVD guys can address that by giving a prepaid return envelope as an option :-) Regards Dinesh
