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

[Chitown71291]

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

[mikeslemonade]

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

and rss feeds,

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

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.

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.

[NeonSkull]

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 Anubis]

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

[TheGeist]

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.

[kspraydad]

What 32 megs?

You mean you think this is limited to PSP2000?

[Finalfantasykid]

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)

[travelguy2k]

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.

[Greek99]

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.

[freakyzeeky]

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

[bootsielon]

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

[Guwapo77]

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

[TitanUp]

dont know much about psp but it sure seems like it can do a lot.

[Gamingshouldbefun]

wow soon no1 gonna use mp3 phones or cameras.. I mean psp will have it all and better... also skype free calling.. thats future baby!

[Partisan]

You got that right brother

[PlayStation360]

sorry brothers, a little off topic. I wonder if sony will ever release a new PSP in the future using that OLED screen. Man that would be crazy, but expensive as hell :(

Anywhoo... back on topic. Man, the PSP is getting some love. It was a slow start, but ever since the PS3 came out, the PSP has boomed.

[pwnsause]

it would be awesome if it happened

[Daishi]

It was only a slow start for those that didn't know how to tinker q;

[whoelse]

Also thr PSP 2000 has 64 mb of ram whereas the 1000 has 32. It says 4.00 will be within 3 months. I expect though that Skype which is due the end of this month will be on 4.00.

[pwnsause]

so were headed to 4.0, I think the PSN is going to get integrated with the PSP

[Eamon]

Meh, Custom firmware does that and more. Can also play backed up PSP games.

[whoelse]

CFW FTW!

[javy009]

yes i dont go out whithout my psp, free internet everywhere, keep in touch with psp messenger and now skipe. waiting for keyboard

[MikeGdaGod]

now all i need is that 16gb stick

[Charlie2688]

What I find really interesting is that probably ALL PSP transfer programs convert your files (do they?) to work on the PSP (plus they are smaller size to save space)

cuz hell I have been watching DivX anime on my PSP since 05 (long live anime on summer shcool!)

but since I love my PSP even more feature wont hurt XD

[Daishi]

This is more along the lines of content purchased specifically for the PSP. And yes Anime has never looked better on a 4.3" screen, all they need is an 80gb HDD for it and I'm set.

[ReBurn]

I see a lot of "you can already do this with custom firmware" comments, but who wants to risk bricking their PSP's? I'm all for it being a supported feature.

[doshey]

dang this really is sonys year, after that big news about blu ray all the news for ps3 and psp this really looks like sonys year

[testerg35]

Will you still need to convert the divx file to the proper screen res for the PSP? I hope not, otherwise no difference from now.. just convert divx/xvid to proper mp4.

[sanjay09]

i think this is for the new video and other stuff there going to sell through ps store :)

[djt23]

i have a custom FW it is alot more better

[Fux4Bux]

Awesome... now I don't have to convert all those divx TV episodes I "aquired".
