It has just been confirmed, that Microsoft is currently working with Divx, Inc. to bring the popular Divx MPEG-4 video format to the Xbox 360. However, Microsoft also said that this Divx project for Xbox 360 is currently not in their high priority list. Right now, an unmodded Xbox 360 can only support video formats such as : WMV, HD WMV, H.264 and non Divx MPEG-4.
Kevin Hell, Divx, Inc.'s CEO said that Microsoft has more restrictions and requirements surrounding any software that runs on it's Xbox 360 than Sony with it's Playstation 3, so the Xbox 360 Divx project is on a lot slower pace compared to it's Playstation 3 brother.
Hell also said that with the latest 2.00 firmware update, the Divx video format support has already been partially implemented on Playstation 3, and the full Divx support will come with the next Playstation 3 firmware update. However on Xbox 360, the release date for the Divx support is still unknown.
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all
This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Is it just me, or does Kevin Hell have a videogame/comic book name? I mean, really, who's named 'Hell'?
That aside, this confirms pretty much what we had already guessed.
I realy need DivX playback on my xbox360. I wonder why this didn't happen a while ago?
I remember just a few days ago there was an announcement that Sony had setup the same deal for the PS3 and everyone was saying its because they want to pirate HD-DVDs or something.
I can only imagine what they be saying about this.

..Or in other words. We've only just learned that its coming for PS3, so we've only just started to copy the move!
I like the 360, and love playing its games, but I would be far happier to see it innovate, rather than constantly immitate. Copying the other guys moves is dull - forget buzz contollers, eye camera or Wii controls, come up with a good idea of your own for goodsakes! :)IMHO! :)
AGAIN MICROSOFT COPY CATS FROM SONY! Pathetic fool! DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
JUST DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
