Norcent to feature DVD player with DivX technology at CES

January 4, 2005

Norcent, a leading provider of consumer electronics has just provided us with information that says they will be adding this DVD player with DivX technology to their product lineup. This little player has plenty of features, especially with it's $59.95 MSRP. Something like this may be just right for a movie buff on a budget.

"According to DivX.com, more than 120 million people worldwide have downloaded the DivX codec to create or watch high-quality DivX movies," said Jennifer Long, CEO at Norcent. "Norcent's DP-220 DVD player gives consumers an affordable, flexible option for taking content normally confined to the PC, and moving it to the comfort of the living room with the full home theater experience. The DP-220 is one of the most feature rich players available, and offers exceptional value."
