With home bandwidth speeds ramping up for most of us, how we get broadband video content into the home isn't as important as how we get broadband video from our office to the living room.

An increasingly popular mainstream solution is the use of an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, though neither has supported the popular DivX or Xvid standards. While there are workarounds, many have been slightly too complicated for the average user. TVersity is probably the easiest solution users have found to make up for lack of native support.

It appears things could soon change. Reports this week indicate that the latest firmware update for the PS3 hints at future Xvid and Divx support. Meanwhile, the new DivX CEO appears to have screwed up during a conference call with investors, admitting that DivX support would soon be coming to the Xbox360:Whoops. Of course DivX and Xvid support has come late to the game in part because of licensing costs, but also because it makes the playing of pirated content (most of which comes in Xvid or DivX format) that much easier. Of course lots of legit content comes in those formats too, making support a boon for both consoles.
