First Certified DivX/DVD Player Released

Posted by timothy on from the catch-and-press-release dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to this article, a company named KiSS Technology announced at CeBit that they are releasing the first certified DivX DVD players, the DP-450 and DP-500! They are supposed to be able to playback ALL versions of DivX content and digital rights management. I'm completely stoked on this, I would buy one of these in a snap. This could make the purchase of dvd burners slow down in my opinion." (And Yes, it plays Ogg Vorbis, too.) Ebay imports, anyone?

    What would be REALLY nice is a net connected player that could update its firmware when a new or better codec is announced. O, wait, there already is such a thing, its called a PC. Silly me.
