that would be awesome if there were. specifically one that plays dvd, (s)vcd, .avi (divx), asf, wmv, .mpg. w/o having to convert into another kind of format.

This one is guarenteed to play divx 4 and 5 content, and hopefully will be on sale here in the states by christmas. Divx 3 was never a legal codec so they didn't include support for it.

Kinda off topic, but I heard Xbox modding is easier than PS2 modding, so I believe it's not too difficult. But still, people and I don't want to go through the hassle. Rather buy a nice looking DVD player that can do it all.

bravo only plays divx 4 and above unfortunately, and xvid. I think divx 3 is technically illegal since it contains msft code so I doubt they will add it :(

Well if you're looking into just installing Linux for divx, you wouldn't even need to open up the Xbox.
