it can also play mpg format. at this point even MP4's can be dodgy, they really need an update to play more media files.

You need to encode them properly in MP4 format. Most MPEG formats will work as well and AVC encoded.

you can download YDL or  any othe OS system like Mac's Tiger or Windows XP for the PS3 from there download VLC media player. VLC is one of the best media players out there and will play AVI. This is one reason of many reasons I am wanting a PS3

Haha... are you joking?  Why would Apple Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows XP run on a PS3?  Sure you can use the PS3 version of Linux on a PS3 but the other OSes... seriously... wtf?

Yes, you can play AVI files using a media exteder in your pc... The program I use is called Tversity Media Server... basically if Windows Media Player can play it, the PS3 can... You ought to check it out..

Here's their website
