DivX on PSP as part of firmware 4.0

Seems our little friend the PSP will soon be getting DivX Certification to allow for the downloading of movies and TV shows through the PC store, transferred from PS3 and from selected third party online retailers (psst...starts with G and ends with le).

DivX for PSP should be released within two months and be included with the 4.0 firmware update.

PSP is getting some DivX love

Chitown712915962d ago

Dude the PSP is now officially ( I know I spelled it wrong....... I think) the ultimate portable hardware on this planet. Nothing compares to the features this thing has NOT EVEN THE iPHONE! The PSP has live TV( with locationfree), MP3, Videos, Internet and Internet Radio, 3D Games parallel to PS2,Skype( basically a phone over the internet), Remote Play to PS3, Connect to a PC Playstation Store, Play PS1 Games, Video Out, Plus accessories like a camera, GPS, Chotto Shot( A foreign language type thing....... it's cool alright. DUDE WHAT ELSE DO YOU F**KING WANT!!!!!!!!!! THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!!!!!! And now with DivX support, apple can suck D!*k!!!!!!!!

Screw you anti-sony fanboys

I about to go PLAY
PLAY B3YOND That Is

mikeslemonade5962d ago

You forgot custom firmware, playing games from the memory stick, and emulators.

TheTwelve5962d ago

Dang...my PSP IS actually better then the iPhone when you put it all together like that. Never knew that.

ReBurn5962d ago

Too bad early adopters like me get screwed when it comes to some of the newer features, like Skype. It sucks that I have to upgrade my PSP to take advantage of the newest goodies.

captainpwn5962d ago

If you're refering to that POS they call the Web browser, then you're confused. The thing is so bad I'd rather not even go on the Internet. If you want to experience a TRUE mobile Internet experience, visit your local Apple Store and purchase an iPod Touch or an iPhone.

NeonSkull5961d ago

the browser works fine for me, i normally use it on the toilet, if i want a better browser i just remote play my ps3 and use the ps3 browser on the psp via remote play.

Lord Anubis5962d ago

i guess it will be getting limited support because of the 32megs

TheGeist5962d ago

Wait no you son of b*tch! it's called a 4gb SD card! oh no! that means 4000 mb for your cracker loving saltine Xobx Azz.

kspraydad5962d ago

What 32 megs?

You mean you think this is limited to PSP2000?

Finalfantasykid5962d ago

It will probably only be able to play up to a certain bit-rate, and then either it will say that it does not support it, or it will downgrade the bitrate somehow(is that even possible O_o)

travelguy2k5962d ago

psp 1000 has 32mb and the slim has 64, but either way because the srcreen douse not have that high a resolution even if it did compress it even further, we would we even notice on the psp...i didn't think so.

The PSP continues to gain versatility and as such i think we can expect the same kind of improvments to happen in the years to come for the PS3.

Greek995961d ago

PSP Lite Has 64 Mb? I didnt kno that. Maybe thats why Skype isnt on the PSP (fat). Along with 100s of other features PSP Lite will have and PSP fat wont have.

2008 has been nothing but good for Sony, I can't believe it!
It's a stark contrast from what kind of news Sony has been receiving all of last year. :D

bootsielon5962d ago

It doesn't matter, as the PSP's resolution is below Standard Definition, which wouldn't require much processing power. So yeah, it's possible

Guwapo775962d ago

The original PSP has 32MB of ram. The new Slim/Lite/whateverinthehellyou wannacallit has 64MB of ram.

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Relientk7727d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator26d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5230d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5229d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212129d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

MrNinosan29d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5229d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5229d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Barlos30d ago

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani29d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum30d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman30d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim30d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I disagree Batman

FF XVI Producer Is Interested In Working On A New Final Fantasy Tactics Game

Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.

GoodGuy0932d ago

It's insane its been this long since the last release.

CrimsonWing6932d ago

Not from you.

Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.

If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.

VersusDMC31d ago

He worked on tactics ogre reborn. Was there changes? He wouldn't make an FF tactics game an action game. It will be AA but faithful. Probably what the Diofield Chronicles team and some of the FFXVI team is probably working on already and he is just keeping a secret.

And FF hasn't had a set gameplay design since X. I disliked the MMO, 12, 13 FF's but didn't mald for years. I played other games. Stop crying as he probably won't make a single player FF again and will be busy with the next FF MMO.

EternalTitan31d ago

I can feel your hatred. Keep it up.

Ataraxias31d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn was an overall solid product but almost eliminated the concept of builds in the game.
So we'd probably end up with a system where character jobs like Mercenary for Ramza is 80% of the character instead of being freeform.

SegaSaturn66931d ago

Tactics Ogre Reborn changed a lot of gameplay mechanics for the worse. The class system is weird and hard to lock in roles, and they shoehorned a new "random card appearing" mechanic on the maps which makes no sense. Previously you obtained those boosts from killing powerful opponents, not spawning randomly.

There's a way better way to play Tactics Ogre: the fanmade onevision mod of the psp version.

EternalTitan31d ago

16 was just a terrible mess.
Its not even a JRPG let alone a final fantasy game.
Yosi piss(who said he hates JRPGs) should not touch another Final Fantasy game ever again.

VersusDMC31d ago

87 metacritic can't be a terrible mess.
If Kingdom Hearts is a JRPG then FFXVI is a JRPG. And he said he hates the term JRPG as it carries a bad stereotype with western journalists.

So you're just incorrect on several fronts...

Asterphoenix31d ago

I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.

Tapani31d ago

Yes, alongside with Vagrant Story. Playing FFT, then Vagrant story and finally FFXII is a bliss. Deepest lore and best stories ever made in video games.
