Wel, MGS4 users can already have custom soundtracks in the game so.... maybe Sony already gave those tools to the developers?


Really? Wonder what they had to pay Microsoft for that.

Last I heard Microsoft held the exclusive patent for that feature. Hence why 360 SVR games have been the only ones to have said feature.

 


What's SVR? And didn't Burnout and MLB 08 have custom soundtracks? I know Microsoft has a patent of some kind, so either Sony found a loophole or Sony is doing Custom Soundtracks a different way than specified in the patent or Sony is paying Microsoft.


endless ocean on wii has custom soundtracks as well...don't know how M$ can patent that process...it's just streaming music from a hard drive (or SD card in the case of the Wii).


That's exactly what they did from what i remember.  The patented the process to "Stream music from a harddrive to play the music ingame for videogame consoles."

Or something like that.
