Yeah DivX support would be incredible. I still have to use my modded Xbox with XBMC to play Divx movies and other non 360 support formats. Would make watching my movies on my T.V. that much easier for sure.

Damn...I have over 60 Divx/Xvid movies:) And when PS3 supports them...Just burn a movie, and put in your PS3..Although I already have a DVD player capable playing Divx/Xvid:P But it's still a nice feature...

But why only when Sony is showing some kind of support for divx and xvid comes this news ? It's that copycat thing...

Already using DIVX/XVID w/ Tversity but I suppose this will be nice for those who's PCs cannot convert on the fly.

Now the 360 follows suit...

funny.

Kevin Hell. LOL.

Hello Im Mr Hell.

Even though divx uses the .avi extension I would like to see .avi support in general. There are lots of avi files that aren't divx related and should be addressed as well. Perhaps they can add flash and other media flavors as well.

I'm holding by breathe for MKV h.264 support, would be all i need

Like in the previous article about this (DivX on the 360) said supporting DivX might not be in the best interest for MS since it will penitential cannibalize its own marketplace video download by 2 possible (and realistic) factors:

-A lot of people downloaded the Marketplace videos to see the HD version of the films, with DivX support they can easily download the HD version and watch it on the 360 with out having to pay a dollar
-Some of the companies supporting the Video marketplace might not renew their contracts, licenses etc "knowing" (aka paranoia) that their are gonna loose money to downloaded DivX movies (even if is not really true)

at the end its a LOT more beneficial to the user than to MS (and MS doesn't even profit from it or we might have seen it a long time ago) and while is VERY debatable that even without DivX people can cheat the Video marketplace (Video DVDs) the fact is still there...give people DivX and as sure as hell people are gonna take advantage of it

another interesting thing would be to check statistics of what type of people even buy in the Video Marketplace to see if the dangers of DivX are real or not, for example are the majority of people "renters" the same NetFlix people that are basically renting a movie and have no problem paying the fee or is the majority people that if given the chance will only use DivX download movies over the Video marketplace

technically for me it would be beneficial since I would be able to watch all my anime on my 360...but it will probably had been more beneficial about a year ago when most animes were pure DivX only and don't require multiple codecs like this days release and basically render DivX obsolete >.>

I dont even get the big deal, what so cool about having divx support, maybe im out the loop but i dont have time to be downloading and burning just to save a buck.

and what is is divx form that i would need this option, like i said im out of that loop, i dont even download songs that much let alone movies, is this wanted becuase you can burn any form of video then watch it on the 360. is it for bootleg movies, if so that illegal and you can get those in the street for 3 bucks each. and those work on a 360 already.

Dumb ass Sony fanboys Sony mentioned it a few weeks ago so MSFT is going to implement it in the last few weeks before the fall update?. Lowl.

Seems to me that Sony wouldn't want to allow the PS3 to play DivX movies since that seems to be a preferred format for sharing pirated movies over the internet. My guess is that the only support the format is going to get is video encoded by the PS3 itself.
