Comments on: Rumour: Custom soundtracks for PS3 Firmware 2.4?

The OS is already using a reasonable chunk of memory. A bit of sound playback wouldn’t be too much trouble. It might still be optional, though. If the report’s true.

You will be able to choose audio files via the XMB ingame, however as has been said previously, this is only for games that support the extra features in v2.40.

We might see a spate of previously released games build with the 2.40 SDK getting patches allowing in-game XMB access etc. But unless a game is built with the 2.40 SDK na da.

Newbie101: I think that’s your bias showing rather than mine. =)

So what if they do? Just accept it and move on. Pointing it out all the time irritates everyone. If that’s his opinion, that’s his opinion.

Anyway: Sonylol, PSlol. No games, unfinished, MGS4 wasn’t very good and LBP will be delayed like all the other rubbish because it’s so difficult to develop for.

There, you can follow me around now. It’ll be easier for everyone if you do.

I don’t. As we both go into the same news items (as we both view this site), I see all the comments like you do.

All I’m saying is that most of the comments you make always seem to have an anti-sony and a pro-360 slant.

If it’s going to be as crap as it is on the 360, they might as well not bother.

All will be revealed soon enough. I with PT though: it’s a memory drainer.

Have you really so little to do that you find time to follow me around Newbie?

Because some developers have already integrated custom soundtracks and it’s also going to use up a fairly significant chunk of memory which not every dev will want to give up. Plus of course there’s the MS patent on console level custom soundtracks… but they could have easily paid to use it.

Why bother to comment if you don’t care…?

By: Blerk

I still don’t really care.

I still reckon this is going in as optional developer functionality rather than something run at the XMB level.
