Nice update

In game XMB has been noted by the developers and is supposed to come out soon, just when we don't really know. Apparently Home beta and LBP beta were rumoured on 1UP yours for Christmas day, but take those with a pinch of salt.
 
Hope the divx part works as it would save me a fortune on the cost of a HTPC. Perhaps just need external hard drive to store all divx files on it.

Fingers crossed.
 
I watch DiVX avi's all the time (I don't mean porn either - that's what I have a PC for), but I have no idea about the different encoding or versions etc. Will PS3 be able to play the most common formats found on the web?
 
Excellent news! I'll likely use my PS3 over my Xbox360 for this, so that's really good.

LOLOL, I remember this from the Xbox 5 or so years ago. Most. Annoying. Thing. Ever.

Thanks for the update news MMM.

The Xbox360 can, so I'd presume the PS3 will too.
