"Unfortunately, my experience with DivX support on the XBOX 360 has been pretty disappointing so far.
"The biggest disappointment is that DivX is not supported if you use your XBOX 360 as an extender for a Windows Media Center PC (which I do). So if you've got a MCE box with all of your DivX media on it, you cannot stream that DivX to your 360 using the Media Center UI in the console. Why? I'm not sure. You would think that MCE users would be the first ones that MSFT would want to support. After all, they not only have the XBOX 360, but they also have a Windows MCE box."
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
but....
that was Microsoft rushing to get it out before Sony just so they could have bragging rights. All because it was announced that Sony would support it before they had a chance work anything out. They just really, (in essence) threw it out to there for Sh@ts and giggles just to say they had it supported first. Only thing was that it wasn't fully tested and or implemented very well within the software coding to really be any major significance. Now if Sony comes out of the gates and has it fully implemented through out their machine....then Microsoft is gonna look mediocre when it comes to the whole Divix support issue between the two consoles.
It's more gonna be a wait and see game. See how Sony really plans to use it in their console. If they somehow drop the ball (which is likely, given the fiasco with the last update) then that leaves the door open for Microsoft to capitalize and improve the supported format.
But hell, what do I know....
I'm just a gamer who stayed at Holiday Inn Express last night......

hes having 1 problem that it doesnt work thru MCE the divx codecs work fine so dont use the fact that it doesnt work thru MCE to say that the codec is broken u azsholes
I hope when Sony releases their update we don't experience any problems otherwise all hell would go loose. I get so frustrated at not being able to stream HD episodes of my favourite shows to my TV.
