In the latest firmware 2.0 update, Xvid and Divx files can now be detected as video options on the PS3.
Quote from PSU:
Now the files still won't work on the PlayStation 3, but this new find may lead us to believe Sony is planning to support both Xvid and Divx files in the future. My guess is that Sony may be doing this so that when Home is launched, users can convert their files to Divx (for smaller file sizes) and use them to display in their Home studios.
Divx is well known in the internet world for its ability to compress lengthy video to smaller storage sizes, without losing visual quality. Xvid (Divx spelled backwards) is a direct competitor to Divx, providing similar compression features and supporting MPEG 4 and H.263 video formats.
If Sony plans to fully support these video formats, this will help when importing videos into your PlayStation Home as they will upload faster without losing quality.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
?
That is going to cost Sony a LOT of money to licence.
Home is definitely intriguing to say the least.
MS now HAVE to put DIVX support in the fall update.
Thats why competition is good for us consumers.
Yes.
I want this more than any other update. More than ingame music, XMB or anything else. If cheap arse DVD players can do it why not PS3? I have a 500gb external plug into my PS3 and it would just become a big fat photo/music/movie jukebox.
this is exactly what i've been waiting for, more than any other feature
