You people crack me up. ROFL indeed."We should all boycott..." Why?!? Hey, you know there is a new format called DTS. Some companies are even supporting it! Boycott them because you bought AC3! Once and for all, DIVX is in competition with rental VHS. Not DVD. Once you comprehend that, your anger will float away....... : I went to Circuit City today to see how the Divx fiasco is progressing... hanging next to : the Divx players were some Monster Cable brand inconnects that said, "DIVX to : receiver". On closer inspection, one of them just had a DIVX sticker on the front. The : one next to it, however, clearly had a Monster Cable issue front card that said, DIVX : (using the DIVX logo) to AV receiver.
: By producing "interconnects for DIVX" Monster is giving DIVX what amounts to an : endorsement, and "legitimizes" the product. we should all boycott Monster Cable and : write, email, and tell their dealers of our displeasure, as we should do to any company : endorsing or supporting DIVX. : Fortunately, the DIVX display had no action the entire time I was there. Every single : CS employee had a DIVX pin on, though, and there was a white-shirted DIVX : specialist there who approached me. I didn't feel like abusing him (grandma was witing : in the car) so I just left.
