Microsoft have just stepped one BIG step closer to “droppin’ da bomb” on Sony and the PS3 by announcing support for Xvid and DivX codecs within their Media Center Extender software.
The software runs on your PC and can push content to Media Center devices such as the Xbox360. Support for Divx and Xvid has been available before using various hacks/transcodes and workarounds, but if the Xbox360 gets this as part of its Fall Dashboard Update (already rumoured to be true) then this will kill the PS3.
Well.. until Sony add support for it anyway.

Whilst brains are cool for doing things such as making coffee, working your vital organs and wandering during meetings - mine has not been anywhere near the land of blog for some time.
Maybe the time has passed for “this whole blogging thing”. Maybe updating my status with something random on Facebook has just become more “fun”! Who knows.
My good-brain is still telling me to blog more. Work on that new blog thats going to earn me all that extra spare cash I need - but crap-brain says “no”.
I got my free pack of 10 Moo Cards through the post yesterday after getting them as a free gift for eventually going Pro on Flickr. Seemed like a good idea at the time to go Pro. Not sure why though, as crap-brain also says “no photography for you, dull boy” each time I think about it.
I have picked up a Sony Ericsson K800i phone though with a 3.3mp camera which is cool and means I can snap reasonable quality stuff when I want to. I could blog about the argument I had with Phones4U when I took back a phone and got that one - but crap-brain doesn’t want to tell you about it at the moment.
Good-brain likes the new iPods and would love to play with an iPod Touch but crap-brain knows that they are just music players and pretty much do the same as my current iPod and mobile phone put together.
Ho-hum…
Well, it's not a giant lizard slaying robot and its not a new religion.
