We've gotten hints recently that Sony's DivX support would be coming right on the heels of Microsoft's most recent update. If you turned on your PlayStation 3 late last night, you saw it hit. The 2.10 update enables DivX and WMV videos and brings its Blu-Ray profile to 1.1, which includes enhancements like "Picture-in-Picture" viewing for supported discs. It also has a voice changer in the Settings, so you can hide the fact that you're only 13 years old in deathmatches.

Not content to just update one system, Sony updated the PlayStation Portable as well. This latest update to version 3.80 adds internet radio to the mix, so if you want to access music without filling your memory stick you can always go that route. The Playstation.Blog has instructions on how to use the feature.

But wait, there's more! Kotaku reports Sony has made the PSP Media Manager free...in Japan. It's only available, at the moment, from the Japanese PlayStation Store, but Kotaku notes that after the Japanese-language install, the program itself runs in English. This should make it easier for PSP owners to manage their multimedia content -- but why no domestic release? We like music and movies, too!

Pretty nice, but voice changers? Meh.

DA is already working on a "3.80 M33" for the PSP, which will also include his latest work, the PS1 Multi-Disc loader!

DivX, lol copycats.

And this sounds like another shit update, which I won't bother turning my PS3 on to do any time soon. Is it really, REALLY that hard to get in-game XMB? Stop making us wait ffs.

Actually, I'd say this is an important update for the PS3. One it includes Divx, Xvid AND WMV Playback and two it updates Blu-ray drivers so it can handle Profile 1.1.

Sony announced they were going to implement DivX about a week before 360 actually did.

Err, Sony announced DivX before Microsoft did, as Scon said. They just have a longer approval process that new features and demos must go through.

I agree about in-game XMB though. They're obviously working on it, but in the mean time they could at least give us in-game messaging. It's unacceptable that it hasn't been implemented yet after more than a year.

The new Folding@Home update might be a sign of what's to come though... It now allows you to play your music while folding, so if they can get that to work with a program that's pushing the PS3 CPU to its limit, they should be able to do it with games.

Anytime I hear someone with a voice changer on XBL I report them for hacking.
