Can the ps3 play .avi files?

I understand that my 360 can't play my .avi's, but is it a different story with the ps3, and is all as easy to set up as a wireless extender as a 360 say?

And is there any way to get my 360 to play .avi's?

Convert the AVIs to WMVs to play on your xbox.

And use PS3 Video 9 for your PS3.

Niiiice, cheers for that mate. It says it does it automatically from uTorrent for you as well. Excellent.

Obviously you're only downloading free to download public service announcements from torrents.:rolleyes:

Of course I am!

I have a PS3 and it plays avi's etc all fine. It also plays MP4 in ace quality - like backups of blu-ray discs...

But surely if you were actually backing it up you'd do so to another Blu-Ray disc? :)

The 360 will happily play most Xvid/Divx format AVI files as well as H264 files, in fact pretty much everything the PS3 can play, but only if you are connected to Xbox Live.

This is a major oversight by Microsoft IMHO... :loopy:

Oh yes, forgot to add that bit....
