vice-versa it does play DIVX, doesn't play AVI's (at least none of the 1000+ AVI movies or tv shows that i have)

I'm sure I've got AVIs on my PS3 that play ok so I googled and found this:

Guess it does play some AVIs, just not yours. :?

OK thanks guys. Another question the PS3 is not detecting folder structure on the external hardrive. Any ideas? The message says there are no titles....

It supports a whole bunch of formats. It's the codecs the PS3 is missing. Firmware please!

PlayStation Store, at the top right corner or in the XMB, under Account Management.

One last thing, (I already have a PSN account for my PSP BTW) how do I register the PS3 to my account? I've logged in on it and stuff, but how do you actually register it so that on your online profile it says you have it? Or do you have to do it manually? Thanks for the help, guys! :)
