DivX DVD Players Are on the Verge of coming out ...

I believe we will see divx-supported dvd players very soon. I just happen to have read this about Divx:

"Startup Turns Sony PlayStation 2 into Digital Media Center

Austin, TX Startup BroadQ, LLC. today announced the availability of their QCast Tuner software, which turns any PlayStation 2 into a digital media center. QCast Tuner allows the PlayStation 2 to manage and play high-quality digital music and video files (.mp3, mpg 1/2, mpeg4/DivX) stored on a networked computer in your home. QCast Tuner currently supports Linux and Windows desktops. Users with a mod-chipped PlayStation2 can sign up for a free Beta copy, if they're willing to test a downloadable version."

Does anyone know anything about this mod-chip??Where can you get one and is it easy to install?

That sounds so inconvenience to me. Why not just get an Xbox and mod it? Xbox's been able to play DiVX for awhile now right off CDR's. No need to network to a PC. And the Xbox's mod chip is easier to install (basic soldering). That's my 2 cents.
