Can someone explain WHY the PS3 doesnt have custom soundtracks?

[stoncold32]

Because I really don't understand it. It's just as easy, if not more, for the user because you can transfer mp3 to the PS3 hardrive. Whereas when I had a 360, you couldnt copy MP3's to the 360 hard drive(unless that's changed now)

But anyway, it was on the initial patch list, but apparently didnt make the final cut. I think thats a terrible thing to do to PS3 owners because to me, custom sounds adds a whole new dimension to the game.

smh

No, let him leave it, he deserves to get an infraction, or banned.

All I did was ask a sincere question, looking to get info on something I dont know about.

I'm glad you posted this because I was unaware that it didn't make the final cut. I was sure this was going to be a shoe-in. This is really disappointing.....

i wish i knew.
ps3 gets patches later too.


i know they port a lot of games over to ps3 from 360 even tho the blu ray tech allows for more data and thus a bigger better game.
but they cant work on 3 diff versions of a game [wii incl.].
ah well.
lets hope it IS in the patch

That's the main reason I didn't get it on ps3. I still have yet to set up my custom sounds on xbox though.

2k ronnie first explanation was it couldn't be done and then it was sighted the show has it, then well its 1st party and then when it was shown that many other 3rd parties have put custom sound tracks in and that's where the communications end, he goes silent at that point.

Yea Ronnie is known for doing that. But this year is the first year 2k intergated so well with the PS3. I mean they were so many things they were missing. Things as simple as "Players Met". I mean getting invited to custom game was impossible. They have made a lot of strides. But are still missing tiny things like custom music.

Re: Can someone explain WHY the PS3 doesnt have custom soundtracks?

I dont see why its so hard?

Smackdown vs Raw is also a game that comes out every year, they also have pretty much used the same graphics engine. They even have the time to create separate versions of their games for the consoles, with custom soundtracks...

Re: Can someone explain WHY the PS3 doesnt have custom soundtracks?

Why would you be allowed to patent something like this? It makes no sense to me. I do not have a PS3 but this is like Apple somehow being the only Mp3 player allowed to play music.

Thats a bogus early on report, speculation and we have seen many games do custom soundtracks as well as just music from the the XMB. It was a memory issue when the PS3 first came out, it reserved about a 100mb of its memory for the OS and as the optimization of the cell has gotten better this feature is available in all SDK's. The reduction is now around the same as the 360, hence games are doing it now and some go back and patch it in.
