Last week we reported that Panasonic announced two new DivX Certified Blu-ray players, DMP-BD30EG and DMP-BD30EE. Now DivX, Inc. announced in a press release that they have granted DivX Certificates to six new stand-alone Blu-ray players.
The newly certified six include Panasonic DMP-BD30EE, Philips BDP7200 and Denon's DVD-2500BTC1B, DVD-3800BDC1B, DVD-3800BDSP and DVD-2500BTSP. All of the players are capable of playing Blu-ray discs, DVDs and DivX video. At least none of the Philips' or Denon's models can play DivX files from Blu-ray discs, but all of them support several subtitle file formats, including .SRT, .sub and .SSA. All of the players also support DivX VOD-technology, which allows the playback of some DivX video with DRM protection.
The prices of the players vary a lot. You can buy the Philips BDP7200 for $349, but for example the Denon DVD-2500BTC1B retails for $1,000 and DVD-3800BDC1B for $2,000.
Both Sony PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360 play DivX files, but have not yet been added to the Officially Certified Products list. Over 100 million DivX Certified devices from various manufacturers have shipped worldwide.
