Keep in mind that it is possible to play DivX on a Media Center Extender using a home media server program.
This simply transcodes your divx/other format on-the-fly to WMV or MPEG, letting you play them seamlessly.
For exmaple, see Nero MediaHome:

On the fly? yikes! that has to a. degrade the quality of a media file that isn't perfect to begin with, and b. probably need a really beefy system to keep up. I think I'll just stick to XBMC for now. I guess I got spoiled. The 360 isn't marketed to be an "the" media playback device (or is it). I just find it funny when people think it's cool that the 360 stream pics, [wmv] movies, music and the like. Either they've never seen the potential of a modded xbox or haven't the slightest. The 360 playback is such a headache, and well, it just plain sucks. I'll be playing games
