A:AnswerI'm not an expert on the subject, but I've found that my Sony devices support most regions playback formats. I've never had an issue with something I've ordered from across seas working in my devices. Works with many digital formats.

A:AnswerI was looking for this answer also. I found the answer in the manual (https://docs.sony.com/release//Manual_4579663121.pdf) on page 38. I see it plays .mkv, .mp4, .avi, but I did not see .divx.
A:AnswerI have both, Jim. The biggest difference is the wallpaper, honestly. Both perform (overall) the same to me - in the beginning. I've had the 3700 for about a month and I can tell already that she runs faster but, I think that's only because technology updates so often that it was simply time to upgrade (got the 3500 about a year or so ago). The 3500 started giving me grief with YouTube playbacks and kept shutting off YouTube saying that the file type was too large. Haven't had that problem yet with the 3700. Anyway, I'd go ahead with the newer model.
