Hi,
Sony has announced plans to include DivX on the PS3:
"Current PS3 end users will be able to add DivX functionality to their systems via a separate system software update at a forthcoming date. PS3 game title developers will be able to utilise DivX's decoder technology by updating the system software of PS3's Software Development Kit to version 2.00."
What does this mean in terms of video playback on the PS3? Does this mean I can play .AVI files without having to convert them on the fly to a MP4 format my PS3 can play? Currently using software called TVersity to do this, and it does a really good job of this.
