The format everyone loves to hate Described as a monopolistic, low quality, limited functionality, expensive and intrusive would be replacement for DVD that has been sold and promoted using half-truths and direct lies Divx has been completely trashed on the Internet. Also the press has been overly negative when reporting something more than a CC press releases. There are today 5 different standalone players that supports Divx. According to Dolby labs. Since December Circuit City has not been willing to provide any new numbers for hardware sales.
Circuit City is anyway still the only nation-wide chain carrying it.
There are currently 4 U.S. states without any Divx retailer at all. In one year 478 titles has been released on the Divx format. This is more than the 400 that was expexted one year ago. With a small consumer base it's anyway expensive for CC to release many new titles so the activity has recently been reduced. Both in April and May they failed to release the over 30 new titles each month they are claiming on their website.
