Re: 6 Blu-ray-players carry "DivX" playback

Does this mean they will play HDM DiVX? I couldn't glean that from either the story nor from the DiVX website.

Also...on a side note..isn't playback of this firmware driven? Thus, could existing players be flashed to allow playback?

Re: 6 Blu-ray-players carry "DivX" playback

Usually anything with divx I play on my xbox360. I have tried to play divx stuff on my PS3, but I have no success. Do I need a manual patch or something?

Do you have the latest firmware (PS3)? I donīt know much about DivX, but just asking the obvious question first..
