Microsoft knows it depends on retailers to get its products shipped, so they regularly have training sessions for shop employees to educate them about current and upcoming products. Our Dutch colleagues of Xlife.nl were invited to one such session, and managed to get quite a spicy rumor.

Its been possible for a while now to play DivX movies on the Xbox 360, but so far it involved using converter codecs taking a DivX original and converting it to WMV on the fly on a MCE PC. In comes Xlife bluntly asking questions (translated from Dutch):

After the event I had a short talk with the host and asked him whether thered ever be support for DivX and Xvid playback. Much to my surprise he started telling me that Microsoft is working hard to implement this and a firmware update is expected within 2 months allowing you to play DivX and Xvid directly on the 360.

never to take one persons word for it, we started digging for more info. I didnt bother contacting official Microsoft spokespersons on a subject like this, because Ive heard me enough Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation to last a lifetime. Bring on Xboxics private collection of deep throats within the Redmond giants ranks, of which one stated: Well the PS3 used to have 1080p, high-def DVD and DivX playback as its strong points over the 360, and so far weve taken down two of them
