First of all, DIVX doesn't work anywhere else but the US.

Second of all, if there aren't that many DIVX titles around, then the choices can't be that good, so you'll probably still have to go either to VHS rental or DVD rentals to see all the other movies that are not on DIVX anyway?

Thirdly, I buy a lot of movies (VHS and DVD) and I don't pay 25 bucks for them. Out of all my purchases, there's about less than 20 of them that I regret buying. That's less than about 2% of my entire collection.
