So Gizmodo has taken an in depth look at the way the Xbox 360 handles DivX and XviD files since the fall update adding the ability to the console. I am very happy to see Microsoft continuing to expand the usefulness of the Xbox 360, and continue to find myself with more and more temptation to pick up the 120GB hard drive, since my measly 20GB one is always full.

According to Gizmodo, the way the Xbox 360 handles these new file types is pretty darn good, and after some helpful advice from people commenting, the reviewer realized it was better than he thought.

There were still some issues though, but they were only three small things:

• it needs improved handling of different video dimensions
• better playback controls
• Windows Media Center Extender support
