For your edification, IGN has helpfully posted a list of all the different media formats that the PS3 can be expected to play at launch.
VIDEO • MPEG-1 • MPEG-2 (PS,TS) • H.264/MEPG-4 AVC • MPEG-4 SPMUSIC
• ATRAC (.oma .msa .aa3)
• AAC (.3gp .mp4)
• MP3 (.mp3)
• WAV (.wav)IMAGES
• JPEG
• GIF
• PNG
• TIFF
• BMP
AVI and DivX seems like the suspiciously missing contender there, which is a bit of a bummer. And what about Ogg Vorbis?
Naturally, any type of refractive, laser-read disc under the sun will be supported... except, of course, laser discs, which are to DVDs what 8-Tracks also are to DVDs.
