Yeah, they play xvid. In fact, they've played Divx and xvid from square one, but they didn't have the large file support.

I was gonna say that too. Alot of the P### I burn and other movies I burn were Divx. Divx is awesome because you dont have to have the large files, but its awesome that the support is now there. Time for me to update :D

You can do a system update via the internet on your ps3, or you can downloaded the update from sony, and put it on a thumb drive, and load it from there.

Thanks, I was wondering because a friends son has a PS3.. And it couldn't play DivX, so I thought that after this update this would be possible.
