Guess what PS3 owners – the PS3 will be adding DivX digital media format via a software update at a forthcoming date. Plus, with over 100 million DivX products having been shipped into the market, it is anticipated PS3 will significantly expand that number. Can I get a collective w00t! from the PS3 crowd? I thought so.
“We are excited to work with Sony Computer Entertainment to bring DivX to PS3,” said Kevin Hell, CEO of DivX, Inc. “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.”

I like Divx, hopefully this’ll be good for them.
w00t, i have soem films id liek to put on there! PS3 FTW
this means I’ll be able to stream avi files through the media server right?
Divx is the shit….
I think you will be able to whack films & shows in DivX onto the PS3 from your PC and watch them remotely on your PSP (possibly lol).
I really love the idea of that especially if you have the PSP with the TV output. I find that amazing that you could be on the other side of the world (or just round a mates house) streaming a film from your PS3 back home onto the TV in your hotel room via your PSP.
