I finally ran a few test of mine own to check out the Divx playback on both the PS3 and Xbox 360. Both systems did a find job playing back regular divx files. Since both systems support HD picture, I thought why get standard divx quality when you can get HD divx quality. There are a few things I found. Most regular HD divx files do not play on either console. This is because the audio is not supported. In files tested, DTS and x.264 does not work. HD files with AC3 audio compression worked great.

The Xbox 360 played flawless, smooth picture with no lag. I used a direct ethernet connection for the 360 coming from my router.
On the PS3 I used the wireless connection, there was a lag a few times but really just outstanding picture. The PS3 is connected to a larger HDTV vs the XBOX 360, but the Sony does a better job with colors for divx videos overall. As supporting divx playback is huge step for both consoles, Look for an update in the near future to support mkv (HighDef).
