Yes. A company called KiSS has already introduced two stand alone DivX players, model DP-450 ($200) and DP-500 ($500). The latter has network capabilities. Check out DivX.com for more info.

wow. $200 entry level... for that price I think I'll put that money into a HT pc that will just play everything.... think I've already got a case, PSU, cpu, ddr and sound card. need me a mobo and gpu with s-video out. hmm. maybe a $65 r8500 nic it in with my home network and should be set.

though I hate the idea of a keyboard/mouse in the living room... any alternatives to that? some remote control to move and click mouse??

(Can't vouch for the player, don't own one-- but I'm seriously thinking about it.

If you've already got it all planned out, why are you still asking? Oh, BTW, stand alone players don't @#$%ing crash like your little HT pc, it comes w/ a remote, and has progressive scan component video hookup.

my question is how compatible is it? i mean, Divx doesn't really have an official standard like DVDs.
