I've heard a rumour about an XBox 360 patch that will allow the console to play divx files through Media Center on XP/Vista. The patch should be available this week. This came from a MS XBox tester. Has anyone else heard about this? Vista recognizes dix files. It would be great of the XBox 360 did too, without having to use 3rd party software.

I always thought that it was more to do with a licensing issue/copyright issue rather than whether or not the 360 could actually do it. I'd imagine if MS could come to terms with the DivX guys, then it wouldn't be much of an issue, though I'm sure the MPAA would be unhappy to hear this.

that would be great. I use connect360 to run mp3s to my 360 from my mac. It still only runs wmv's for video, which i don't have any wmv. Yay for Divx!

My friend says it will be available on XBox Live. I haven't heard anything about this on any website. Still, we can always hope.
