Circuit City's DIVX DVD format is dead as of 6/16/1999. Our site started out as an anti-divx website and now is a coupons & deals website. For over a year we fought Circuit City's dishonest and deceptive sales practice of their DIVX (Digital Video Express) format. DIVX, not to be confused with the Divx codec, was a DVD that was encrypted that only worked for 24-hours.

After your initial viewing period you could pay again to watch your movie. Your DIVX disc only worked in your DIVX player which Circuit City sold for about $100 more than the equivilent DVD player. With no added value but considerable cost difference, DIVX quickly went out of business with a loss to Circuit City well over $100 million dollars.
