[UPDATE] Castlevania coming to PS3
X-Blades Interview
Mega Man 9 ReviewDivX has officially announced that it will be incorporating its technology into Sony’s PlayStation 3 console, allowing users to experience AVI format videos as opposed to converting files into PS3-recognised coding, such as MPEG 3.
Kevin Hell, CEO of DivX, commented, "Our technology will expand the multimedia functionality of PS3 by enabling users to enjoy access to the broad library of content in the DivX digital media format.”
"DivX is currently working to certify PS3 and deliver a superior digital media technology to consumers in the near future. Current PS3 end users will be able to add DivX functionality to their systems via a separate system software update at a forthcoming date.”
The introduction of DivX on Sony’s next-generation console will also afford developers the chance to incorporate the format into their software.

A little props to your own membership might be nice.
i found this a little suprising since sony has a studio to look after and most people use these codecs for pirated movies. hmm. seems counter productive. but i welcome it because i do have legit uses for it unlike some people around here. i agree great deal for us but just seems to be against sony's normal practices. oh well...it isn't like people can't just convert it to dvd format in a matter of less then an hour and watch it anyways but still not what i would have expected from sony.
beautiful.... just beautiful news.
finally!!!
yeeeeesssss!!!
H3ll yes !!!! My brother is an Xbot, and he is getting a PS3 soon. He's jealous as fck because all our pirated stuff is in Divx/Xvid. Let's hope they don't screw this up!!! We need Xvid support too!!!
About freaking time!!!
You guys use Dvix alot don't you?I really wasn't expecting THIS kind of reaction.BTW will this play Xvid files as well?
Yeah, i can't wait to put some .AVI south park episodes on my ps3. Maybe it'll be a good time to upgrade your harddrive, now that you can fill up the space with something else than game saves.
is this jsut a way to pirate movies geez i didnt even know what it was becuase i dont say hey look eveyr one else is doing it that must make it alright poeple like you make me sick. people make these mvoies for you so why cant you get off your lazy asses and work for them instead of screwing them over
nice move sony.
After research, all Divx decoders can 100% decode Xvid files.
We have full Divx/Xvid support soon guys! Cheers!
