PS3 Gets DivX Support, Coming Soon to Xbox 360 117

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday November 13, 2007 @11:43AM

Mpegged writes "The popular DivX video codec will soon be supported on the PlayStation 3 via a future firmware update. DivX CEO Kevin Hell also hinted that support is coming to the 360 as well. 'During the SMid Cap conference call with investment firm JP Morgan, Hell was asked if the recent deal that will see DivX codecs shipped with new versions of Microsoft's standalone Media Center Extenders means that such support will also be arriving on the Xbox 360. "Yes!" was his immediate reply, although he quickly qualified that confirmation with a disclaimer that the deal was still in the negotiation process and had not yet been finalized.'"

Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 already support H.264; why in the world would anyone use DivX when a better option is available?

Because they're too lazy to convert 500 gigs of porn.
