Kiss DP-500 DVD/DivX Player

Just got word from TheLostSwede that Trusted Reviews have thrown up their Kiss DP-500 DVD/DivX Player review!

A DVD player you say? Yes, the Kiss DP-500 is a DVD player, which might not be the kind of product you?d expect TrustedReviews to have a look at, but this is no ordinary DVD player. This is the ultimate DVD player for anyone with a broadband connection as it can play DVD, VCD, SVCD, DivX (all formats), XviD, mp3 and more.

Kiss is a Danish company that has been around for a good few years now and I remember some of its earlier products that didn?t take off as there was too much competition in the market space that Kiss was addressing. But since Kiss introduced the DP-330 it has become a brand that?s synonymous with home DivX players. There is now a wide range of players available and the DP-500 is positioned towards the top of that range.

In the past few months HTPCs or Home Theatre PCs have become very popular, especially with the launch of Windows Media Center Edition. It?s no surprise that this type of machine is popular since it offers the functionality of many devices in one box. But the DP-500 can do many of the things that an HTPC can do without being a PC. There are however a couple of requirements for this to work; the most important being that you already have a PC somewhere in your home. You also need to have a network configured or at least be willing to set one up.
