Xbox 360 officially gets DivX and Xvid support next week

Microsoft's latest dashboard update for Xbox 360 adds the Holy Grail of file-sharers - proper DivX and Xvid compatibility, thanks to MS adding support for the full MPEG-4 spec. This should turn Xbox 360 into the finest streaming media player imaginable, without the need for the current awkward Media Center/Zune/encoding solutions currently required to stream stuff to Xbox 360.
