DivX coming to PSP in Firmware 4.0

***wraggster*** · January 12th, 2008, 14:04

Well CES was fun and I look forward to being there again next year.

Not much divulged other than the two posts I've made so far but I did hear an interesting 'bon mot' from a friend that works at SONY.

Seems our little friend the PSP will soon be getting DivX Certification to allow for the downloading of movies and TV shows through the PC store, transferred from PS3 and from selected third party online retailers (psst...starts with G and ends with le).

DivX for PSP should be released within two months and be included with the 4.0 firmware update.

I'm hoping AVI and are there going to be resolution limits, I know nobody can probably answer these questions right now, I just can't help but wonder.

Yeah thinking about $$, about like a prostitute or a corrupt government. Give them an inch and they expect a yard in return.

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.
