* OFF TOPIC * Re: Divx This IS a bad idea because it violates the first commandment of marketing. It does not fill a customer need. I do not know of a single person clamoring for it.

Don't think for a minute that PriceCosco and Walmart won't be selling Divx as soon as the price is the same as a DVD player. After a few months of not selling Divx there is no doubt in my mind that they will have to be able to compete with DVD on a price basis. Retailers aren't going to dedicate space for a kiosk/demo unit if there is no price incentive that will help the units sell themselves.
