I was under the impression they did this a few years ago? They're not the most knowledgeable group, true, but they're a nice alternative to Best Buy. The one at my local store are actually tolerable.

Not very knowledgeable at all - remember that whole Divx DVD deal they were pushing a few years back? A sales associate at Circuit City was trying to tell me the quality was better, I'd be able to play my purchased Dixa DVDs in any other Divx DVD player and that 'Divx is going to be around for a very long time'.

A couple months later, Divx folded.
