I'm tru-blu, but the future is clearly solid state storage and direct digital downloads.

Richard: What about TiVo? I know that TiVo Desktop Plus allows for DivX transcoding to the TiVos on the network (and I've used it), but is the TiVo DivX-certified? This would be great for getting additional content on those DVRs.

Oh, one more thing: Is the PS3 actually certified? I have an LG player that I had to go through a certification process with... but I never had to do any certification with my PS3. So are you sure the PS3 is covered (or will be covered)?

Why is the 360 not divX certified? Is it because MS decided to forego such certification when they implemented the codec or is there a problem with the way that they implemented it on the 360 that prevents proper certification?

The PS3 is not DivX certified yet.

"Full DivX Certification of PS3 is expected in the future, at which point the popular computer entertainment system will join the over 100 million DivX Certified products that have been shipped into the market."

Dumb move on Sony's part considering that XBL is consistantly outtsells even iTunes when it comes to digital downloads of TV shows,Movies, and other media both standard and HD(NON MUSIC OF COURSE).Anyone that doesn't have a channel and/or media not up on XBL for pay for DL is only robbing themselves of some nice profit potential.
