Today, Divx announced that they’ll be bringing their video technology to the Sony PS3. According to InfoSyncWorld…

Current PS3 end users will be able to add DivX functionality to their system via a separate system software update at a forthcoming date. PS3 game title developers will be able to utilize DivX’s decoder technology by updating the system software of PS3’s SDK to version 2.00, which was released by Sony on November 2.

PCWorld has a pretty neat “discussion” with a freelancer named Nick Mediati.

The PS3 can already play DVDs, CDs, and Blu-ray discs, as well as numerous other audio and video formats, so it can already serve as more than just a gaming console. DivX support only solidifies the console’s role as a media center, especially if you already have a collection of DivX-formatted videos.

He makes a very good point, with this announcement… this truly makes the PS3 a “Media Center”.
