Divx still doesn't have financing............................ Circuit City still has no financing for Divx . And that probably delights DVD enthusiasts who worry that throw-away Divx disks will kill DVD.

Circuit City also expects continued robust sales of consumer electronics in the second half. The strength of Circuit City's retail business has been clouded by questions surrounding its investment in its technology venture Digital Video Express, or Divx. The retailer had originally said it might get financing for Divx by today and remove the venture's losses from its books. Today, Circuit City said Divx will lower second-half earnings by 45 cents a share if it still can't get financing.
