I wasn't going to say anything until somebody went and mentioned that "for
about the price of renting a tape" DIVX. What a load of crap. $4.50 for two

It's not a ridiculous concept, it's just that I would never buy into it on
principle--obviously another attempt to gouge the entertainment consumer, a
la compact disc.
