Xbox 360 Dashboard update confirms DivX support

Just wanted to let everyone know that the Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard update definitely includes support for what are "often referred to as Xvid or DivX video files." I know it’s not earth-shattering news and I know that most of you probably already know about this, but I just wanted to get it out in the open. I’m not trying to ruffle any feathers or rile anybody up. I don’t want any trouble.
Just another quick note and then I’ll let you get on with your day. It’s been noted that extra DivX-specific features like menus and subtitles won’t work and that only DivX 5.0 and up files can be played. Again, I don’t want any trouble. Peter also wants me to tell you that "the update for DivX playback is a separate download from the main update. It prompts you the first time you play a video." I’ll now say thank you and bid you a fond adieu.

I was toying around within the update last night. I haven’t been this geek thrilled since gmail enabled IMAP.
For grins I created a brand new live account with a brand new email account before playing any content from my home box. After a tv show, I started to watch the move Transformers. What do I find in my brand new email box this morning? Spam for some viral media Transformers teaser. Hmmm.
For now, I’m blocking tracking from the 360 to ‘net and looking for my tin foil hat.
Anyone else with a similar experience?
