Great news has come for those who own a PlayStation 3. DivX Technology – one of the most popular video formats on the earth – is officially coming to the PS3.
We PS3 users previously had to convert all of our AVI files into PS3 compatible video formats such as MPEG 3’s (which is a very time consuming process). When the update is released containing the new DivX support, we will no longer have to do this. Since AVI files compose the majority of video files downloaded on the web, we will now be able to simply transfer the files from our PC to our PS3. This update will also allow game developers to use the DivX format on their games.
The Xbox 360 has yet to release a patch that allows DivX support, although I am sure they will follow suit shortly. Until then, we can laugh as we watch our latest downloaded bootlegs on our PS3s, while those 360 owners spend hour’s transcoding theirs to the required format.
