Xbox 360 Gets DivX Support; Extender Doesn’t

The new Xbox 360 Dashboard gets MPEG-4 ASP support (DviX/Xvid), but yet again the Extender portion of the Xbox 360 gets nothing.  People don’t seem to be too happy about this, yet again.  Microsoft didn’t take any hint from my advice, but that’s really nothing new.

Other Dashboard additions are playback of AC3 audio and support for AVI files (so DivX with 5.1 Dolby Digital should work).  There are also tons of fixed for video playback of various other formats.

DWAnderson also talked about the lack of support.

Agreed, Media Center/Extender was passed over in this update...but wow, check out all the stuff they cram'd in.  Kudos to XBox Dev team.
