DivX 2011 Holiday Gift Guide – The Cure for “Present Face”

Avoid “Present Face”…and win a great DivX Certified® device!

Everyone sees it at least once each holiday season: That frozen, half-horrified/half-smiling look on a person’s face when they open a present they really don’t want. This, my friends, is “Present Face.” The very talented Garfunkel & Oates even wrote a song about it.


Don’t inflict this awkward disease on your friends and family this year. Give them something they’re sure to love…a DivX Certified device that will let them play their movies practically anywhere. Below are a few we recommend.

But that’s not all! We’re also giving away 4 of the devices in our Gift Guide, all of which are certified to play DivX movies:

  • Sony PlayStation® 3
  • Pioneer BDP-140 Blu-ray Player
  • And 2 Seagate® FreeAgent® GoFlex™ TV HD Media Players

To enter, simply visit our Twitter page and retweet our link to this Gift Guide. Two winners will be announced each Thursday until Christmas. (Sorry, prizes are for U.S. contestants only – you’d be surprised how complicated international contest rules can be. See official rules here.)
