This sounds good but if it can't play all the same AVI's that my PS3 can play then it's going to be a disappointment. My PS3 plays almost all of the AVI's I have besides a few Fresh Prince episodes.

I expected this, since Sony just licensed Divx on PS3 not too long ago, it wouldn't make sense for just PS3 to get Divx support. Hopefully after it comes, PSPtube can finally run Stage6 properly!

not to mention it won't play any video with any amount of compression. so all divx that it plays will require a cert or license to authorize the decode.

If I were you folks I wouldn't get too excited because you won't be able to play your avi's.

I must be one of the lucky ones then, because my PS3 has been playing my AVI movies like a dream since it got updated a couple of weeks ago.

Some people need to cut Sony some slack, in terms of support and improving a console they've already put out, no one beats them. Go buy a Nintendo DS and ask them for Divx support.

Of course, it will likely only work on PSP2000

Yeah, my PS3 (80GB) with the latest firmware update seems to play DivX/XviD .avi just fine. I usually load the videos on an SD Card and then the PS3 can copy the video from the SD to the PS3's HDD.

I'm hoping it will be the same with the PSP. If not, this has some of the ingredients that could be "opened up" perhaps in a future custom firmware.

Its really great to see a slew of new features hitting the PSP and the expanded interaction and sharing of files between PS3/PSP.

PSP needed to be more file extensions for video playback anyway, so I say, go sony!

Since this is more of a rumour, I wouldn't hold my breath for it, even though it seems logical. It could be good.

Yeah, at least! No more converting that takes hours, but just drag and drop some of my DivXs onto my PSP! (In fact almost all of my movies that I have on my PC are in DivX or XviD [I hope XviD will be supported as well])
