LG Electronics and DIVX this week jointly announced the release of the first-ever DIVX-capably Blu-ray Disc player. The LG BD390, which also boasts WiFi, is the first player of its kind that can play 1080p high-definition DIVX files.

"LG is heralding a new direction for the Blu-ray industry with the full-feature high-end BD390 and incorporating support for DivX HD 1080p video is a key product differentiator," LG Home Entertainment's president and CEO, Simon Kang, said as part of the announcement. "With playback for DivX HD, the LG BD390 provides an expanded full HD viewing experience."

The LG BD390 is available now at an MSRP of $399.99.
